Sound

I asked a non muso what they thought of this guitar, their comments were. "looks nice, it's very full sounding". That kinda says it all. This beauty has the sound I was looking for : bright with lot of meddles and well defined basses. It has a wonderfull sustain.
I compared it with a Gibson , The Cort had more trebbles and volume, and the notes were more precises and defined. These 2 girls have each their own beautifull voice. I choose the Cort for it's sustain and precise tones.

This also impressive. The finish is nothing less than stunning (see for yourself). Very few flaws. Nothing important that you see unless you are closer than 2-3 inches. This finish again matchess much more expensive guitars

More than 20 years playing guitars and this Cort is my first Electro-acoustic.( Corea ) I own a Fender, a Taylor and 2 Takamine's which I still like to play on. I think the Cort is my favorite now. Of course, it doesn't sound like a Taylor, but I dare to say that there is almost no difference between them when you hear it. Amazing for such a low- priced guitar that could beat a much higer- priced guitar about sound quality!
Overall, I 've got no regret with my purchase of this little, sweet singer!!!
