Sound

this guitar had d'adario exp lites on it when i bought it,sounded great on it,put a set of martins that i was told were mediums(i'm a newbie,only been playing since march),but they felt pretty damn heavy to me,horrible to play,rusted quickly,and only sounded decent when brand new...i just put a set of ernie ball regular slinky's on a day or two ago and this thing gives me tingles in my man region now plugged in or unplugged,i play it through a peavey ecoustic 112(when plugged in) an the combo is great,i get alot of feedback problems,but i beleive this is error on my part...still learning.i play southern rock and red dirt/alternative country and it works awsome for me
Action, Fit, & Finish

the action is awsome,i had to take it back to the music shop where i bought it and have the saddle adjusted up a little as it was fretting out on th 13th&14th fret on the high e at first,no trouble now.the finish is emaculate,i have the orange burst model,rosewood fretboard,single abalone fountain inlay at the 12th fret...i can't find a flaw one
Reliability/Durability

No Opinion
don't know yet...i've only had her since about april,and i've only been playing seriously since march...and as sad as it may be,i've done most of it on my little girl's cheap *** darling diva's acoustic because i hated the martin strings so badly,but noe with the ernies on it i'm in hog heaven...it seems to built to last though...

i paid $5oo(originaly priced at $800) for the guitar and $300 for the amp,i feel i got a good deal,i've only been playing since march.i compared it with a plathora of other gutiars in the same price range...epiphone,squier,ventura,kay,kona,and a few others i can't remenber right off hand.if my cort were stolen i would first cry like a litlle girl,find the ******* who took her and break his fingers,and go buy another...i'm sold on court,and nobody will sway me...
