I thought sourcing a Tusq saddle (or at least bone) would be as easy as walking into a music shop with a sample. Turns out it isn't. Anywhere I can try without someone saying "It's not worth it for your Cort"

Tusq in CT
The nut itself is <relatively> cheap, getting it cut & fitted might not be.
Graham/Olly @ the gear junkie can sort you out. You'll hear that comment too, but they will get you one and can arrange fitting. Marshall also keep stock. Not sure about Bothners/Music Connection - I'd expect that they would keep stock on hand too.
I know a studio where they keep a stock electro-acoutic Cort on hand for when they have a artist who just can't get their acoustic tone sorted. They give him the Cort and...wah-hay! Lovely recording tone, happy artist.

Take it to a luthier, not a music shop.
Foster at Foster Guitar Works, Jan at Stellenbosch Guitar company and Matthias/Matthew at Casimi are all likely to have a few Tusq and bone saddle and nut blanks.
I think all of their contact details will be listed on that South African Luthier trhead: http://www.guitarforum.co.za/setup-mods-and-repair/sa-guitar-luthiers/

Bothners N1 City don't have. Apparently new guits come with extra saddles chucked in the boxes. That's all they have...
General (irritating) consensus is always that a Cort isn't worth the extra cost of Tusq, which immediately p!$$e$ me off at a luthier, that is my decision, not theirs. Which is why I thought of buying. I do my own setups anyway.
