I do a lot of strumming and basic fingerpicking. This guitar sounds so good. very defined tones and has a good range. Very Rich sounding because of the brazilian rosewood back and sides.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
Action is a bit high. I find that Cort guitars do that to give you a preference of how you'd like it to feel. I had it set up to a low action and it plays great with little or no buzzing. The looks of this guitar is incredible! the high gloss finish against the satin neck is beautiful. very thick bear claw spruce for the top. lots of attention to detail in the curly maple binding. The back of the headstock even figures a nice venetian style carving. Truly a work of art. This guitar is really underrated! I'm glad i spotted this baby and went for it. They don't sell these anymore. I've seen 2 more LE-2 KOAs on ebay and it's gorgeous. Their new line of limited editions are less extravagant versions of this.
Reliability/Durability

No Opinion
Seems like this guitar will be a keeper for me. i intend to keep it for a very long time and not sell it. I'm gonna put in an LRbaggs pickup and It'll probably give me lots of years of good acoustic playing. It lacks a neck strap button.But that can be easily be done. The finish is very thick. the tuners are very classical looking tuners. It also comes with a lifetime warranty which i doubt I'll be using it. It comes with some good certificates. made by their master luthiers.

I usually play electrics (solid body or jazz box).
I use acccoustics for finger picking.
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 J45. They sounded different but I couldn't tell if one was better than the other. The J45 had a nice, warm very natural, well rounded sound with less sustain than the Cort.
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.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Flawless finish, low action, perfectly polished frets.
The woods are wonderfull.
What was amazing is that this guitar was in tune right off the box (the dealer didn't touch it before).

Lifetime warranty.
Never dealed with Cort.
Customer support made by the dealer which is a friend.
He never charge the work he makes on a guitar he sold. That's what makes the difference with mass vendors or internet. Always trust a man who knows his job and take care of his customers.

More than 30 years playng guitars.
I own 2 fenders, a Manuel Rodriguez classical guitar, a Samick jazz box, an old Suzuky dreadnought.
Guitars are like cars or beautifull women, they make me dreaming.
But what's nice with guitars is that I can come back home with a new one and don't make my wife angry ( and cost less)
