This guitar has the finger picking quality about it - not the guitar that is going to bring up the rear in a rhythm section. My judgment is based on that fact. A fine solo act guitar or the one that stays out of it's case at home - ready to be used while balled up on the couch.

Came in surprisingly good shape for a Korean mass factory assembled guitar. And it will do very well for me until someday when I get it in for a switch out to a bone saddle/nut.
Reliability/Durability

I have had this guitar for over a year now and waited to report on it to be fair. I would hate to use it in public unless the environment was real friendly. But if it was a road guitar it would stand up to most any and not fail. I just don't want it to be my battle axe.

I have only had to deal with the retailer and he seems to have full support from Cort.

Been at this for 40 years, (feast and famine) currently there is a bass, a Strat, 3 types of acoustics and a classical around some amps, a PA, and enough recording equipment to satisfy me and my music pals.
No regrets this is in my quiver - a very fine guitar.
I am not so sure it can be replaced but I would be all about finding a way to get one. Honestly, I think only the Martin Grand Auditorium can pass this baby up. For 220 buck - I would buy 5 forget the Matin and pass them out tho my friends. Take that for what you will.
