This Cort is a straight acoustic guitar. Its best features are the fact that it sounds great, looks really very nice and cost me next to
nothing. It doesnt get any better than that really.

I like blues and folk music. This guitar is more than up to the challenges of my playing. Segovia might find it lacking, but in my living room it sounds great. I love the highs and midrange and the bass is ok

The set up was a little high for me but within normal range. I don't
think it possible to set up at the factory for everyone..dollar for
dollar this guitar is as clean and tight as any I can remember seeing
under 700-800 dollars

I have been playing about a year. I also own a Guild F65CE. The Cort
is the traveler, and the practice guitar, also the loaner. It holds up
and I can honestly say I enjoy the Cort as much as the Guild in its own niche

Solid spruce top. Mahogany back and sides. It's an acoustic guitar, not to many features.

I play a wide variety of music, and I can play most everything I need to on this guitar. Very good sound. Could use a bit more on the low end though.

If I remember right, the setup was quite high at the store where I bought it. I had them lower it right away. The finish is great. I got the transparent blue finish and I really like the look

This guitar is solid. I've had it for about a year, so I've had pleanty of time to drop it and bang it up. So far it has made it through both me and my six year old. I expect it to last for quite some time.

I've been playing for about 17 years, and I currently own an Alvarez 12 string, a Yamaha AE500, and the Cort. I have owned many fine guitars in the past. I can't say that this is the best thing I've ever owned, but it is a damn good guitar. If it were stole or lost, I wouldn't jump to replace it, I'd shop around a bit first. But only because I'm always on the look out for a better guitar.
