Made in Korea in Taejon by master luthier Cort, as jumbo. Solid Engelmann spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides Solid mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge. meca Super Grover Rotomatic golden Fishman Prefix Premium Blend preamp and tuner, gloss, 44mm round, cutaway Venician, provided in "fly" really "delux", 643mm pitch, bridge different from the picture above: as "mustache" type ntl 20f (thank you for correcting the picture: the same now). net cash and flamed maple neck ... you want more? that the simple but beautiful. nothing "flashy" but that's noble .... Royal finish: nothing n'accroche. really has nothing to envy to taylor or to Martin.Les Rican seem to lose the monopoly of knowledge, although their quality control is bétonné.j got a doubt about the size or jumbo semi but hey, can not know all d first! Ah yes, bone nut and wooden pegs (ebony?).

UTILIZATION

I tried to replace my old yamaha FGetdesbrouettes drednough 25 years (you read that right) that rings of hell but is uh! waste ... (has keys like a sitar) is a pure acoustic. So I was looking for a versatile guitar (folk, blues picking pop variety, fingered and flat, bread and red wine pie between friends ...) who have a little face for a little home studio and stage, semi jumbo max, or large auditorium or 000, something comfortable, pleasant and round but especially end ringing, ringing and ringing encore.soit way, I love the crystal clear sound not too aggressive, and even his "plastèque" standing ovations, but especially a well defined, even with some effects (chorus and reverb). therefore left with specifications well filled, I tried different guitars approx.25 1000euros a budget. the tak tan10c me not at all excited with his hit that colors well but lost huge definition as soon as you push a little, then apx yam and cpx: apx the 700 sounded better than its sister 900 three-way (breath when you push the highs of "art" 3WAY) (the violin was not convincing to my taste (especially at this price) and it is only my opinion all these remarks. every time, pure acoustic test Roland AC60 then fine for the true stereo chorus with light dose) or Ibanez Troubadour (lungs "tubar" to 20Watt) or aer compact60 (boom) and or for Marschall électropouackbeurk50.puis Normann (bof the handle) lag (bof the shadow that colors) Ibanez (bof sound unplugged) fender (ergo the bof) Washburne, art and violin (y s'défendent caribou, but ...) 1 taylor314, ovations U.S. and Korea, but not good numbers, it sounded clutter or dynamic stiff as a I). I had a proir on cort, but eventually they can do their job, and most importantly, I appreciate the neutrality of the same classic preamps Fischmann 4, when a vendor asked me to try a custom shop and there sfx , violin making me stuck: the beautiful massif, but it sounded not so good unplugged: average projection and shy but good balance of registes.branchée: nickel! but lacked something, I do not know what! I saw the same creamery NTL but its large size and thick body scared me. I tried at random and then the slap. handle larger than average, but super comfortable, compact body and a massive but its out of this world and given that it improves as Pauillac, it promises. very balanced, great projection, its precise and clear but nothing aggressive or brouillon.si you do not sleep yet ... I read on only takes 9 to congestion and as it lacks the attachment belt near the sleeve, not qustion to strap to the head, this deform under the weight of the handle.

SOUNDS

I was saying, sounds out of this world, disconnected, and connected on a Roland AC60 all pots at 0, I quickly found a good setting on the preamp, and there is hell: precision, clarity, balance , deep bass and round without much clutter, medium, caviar, sharp a feast for the ears, all with the microphone of the bridge, because the gooseneck is not convaicant, except perhaps in 5 or 10 years, When the body has improved, but to forget for the moment. there, it sounds "parlor more feedback on the brink", but had to give it a default so 9. I'll play a stagepass300 or yam 660 emx 1 and of course an aer compct60 a friend with whom I play easily lends me (is masochistic, but a good inch scratch). I still have not played but with my Zoom A2, small chorus and mini verb, guaranteed goose bumps, like Adams to three times cheaper ... but better. ah, too, has just one tune to the store, and after returning home and 3 hours of testing different, nothing has changed: re-taped!

OVERALL OPINION

Still fresh in its case, I will take some time to tame it, but already I feel we will both get along, to the chagrin of my wife. Finally I love the handle, my hand (I'm not one Canadian lumberjack) it arises naturally and not a game I return McspeedwayLaughlin way. Otherwise, it has "the" sound if not "the" (the range is really wide): brilliant from this point of view, but also the violin without defects. Quality - Price exeptionnel. nothing flashy, although brilliant, the discrete (say, far from standing ovation!), (just sprinkled with abalone) that the table is blonde and "meaty", the beautiful, the good, the effective (not Dubonnet, beunet!), the class what.
Then, after 15 days, it's still going. Except that I wanted to replace the original string (EXP, a clear light) by an old set of nine Addario bottom of a closet, super light 9-45, and there pouack! the frets his "jumbo" and it's sitar, depending on whether one supports more or less strong the key is lost or you win half a tone, especially for the "ground" a horror, quickly changed by martin bronze 11-52 to see. OUF! cà not take long, but what is beautiful! the next game will again be an EXP or Elixir Nanoweb to see ... at Ciao ...
