Cort SFX10

Played with various rock bands during the late 70's and early 80's, then went inactive for a while, then got back into it a couple of years ago. I used both electric and acoustic guitars.

At first, I was looking to buy a low end Taylor, but came across this model at Good Guys Music in Honolulu. I was impressed with this guitar and considered buying it at their retail price, but came across a used one on Ebay and picked it up for $150.00. It was in near mint condition.

Very well made. Finish is flawless and beautiful. Action is impressive and plays better than a $800 Ibanez I previously had. Unplugged, it sounds very good for a semi-thin body acoustic, crispy with more low end than I expected. No problems with intonation. At this point, I can't say much about the Fishman pickup. I haven't put it through various types of amps and PA's yet. So far, it sounds well balanced when plugged in.

For the retail price of these guitars, I can't think of any dislikes. An ebony fret board would be nice, but that would raise the price greatly.

Construction seems sturdy and quality is better than I expected.

Overall, even at the MSRP of 795.00, this guitar is a good value and I would recommend these guitars to my friends.

Manufacturing Corenne high quality. Folk Guitar Jumbo shape. Natural Color or BBB (Bright Blue Burst). A prampli fishman ... I bought it in blue, looks great!
I put 9 because the small Intgr tuner is not so convenient as a. To the precision, it is necessary all the same a true tuner, but ... adpanne always

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, nothing wrong.
The pan shot really makes Access in acute, I think I do not buy a guitar without a cutaway.

SOUNDS

Then we attack the best of faade bte. This is a guitar that was in the belly. No need to scratch like a pig to the sound. I bought an Electro Acoustics in order to amplify it, but I only use my amps rarely trs. The sound is really gnial, and very versatile. For the price range, it is believed RVer.
The mic pre amp and are really excellent quality. The rglages are multiple, and SETTING THE shine is really very simpa.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year, and I did not complain. Is a quality guitar for a price dfiant any competition. I test many models in the range 300/700, and it was one of the best. I bought it brand new 430 with bag and set of string +. Sincrement, I believe that quality level relative prices, there is nothing wrong. Is also what made me a little sad is to pay so little like a guitar, thinking of Coren he did, but when I bought it I did not know she was making Coren.
Sincrement is the best guitar in its price range. I think I would do the purchase.
Change: I prciser this guitar had an unfortunate tendency to sound false bottom round, but I rectified quite easily in the saddle ponant lightweight, voila!
