The Cort 900, which is classified in the "Dreadnought" does not really, since it is a form called "parlor" or "parlor" (000), I wonder if this type of guitar does not drop the guitar lady called living ... (Check). Therefore much smaller than a dreadnought, even smaller than a size "grand concert". The shape of the body is very close to a nylon string classical guitar. The handle is shorter (twelve frets non-cash) and a width of ± 43 mm at nut.
This is a guitar made in Asian countries (like all the Cort). The quality of wood, mahogany back and ribs and cedar, is very conclusive and the violin is quite clean. The neck, head and the bridge are decorated with inlay which gives it a small side upscale type "tradition" pretty cool. The conventional mechanical raportées a perforated head (nylon string guitar genre) gives one side "vintage" just like old Stella, and Martin Warshburn the years 1900-30. Fonctionnellent Although very, very soft, I find for my from the side a little flashy gilding easier the mechanism is built in too. A more neutral finish chrome aurra been kind as well. The body and handle are lined with a white plastic binding (almost beige). The table is masive, but I do not know if the sides are laminated or massive. The rosette is inlaid with a pretty pattern. the bridge and the key is rosewood. The neck is glued, and painted satin covers all. Manufacturing is ultra careful.
I chose this guitar as a model of travel, I also play regularly at home because I like the blues and if you do not want to give you a Gibson Blues King, the Earth 900 makes this vintage are found the recording of the beginning of such past sciècle Robert Johnson. I have big hands, while playing on my habituellemnet Taylor 814, the transition is easy to Cort.
Before buying it, I tried a Larrivee parlor (900.00 euro), a Baby Taylor (450.00 euro), a parlor Landola birch (500.00 euro) and a parlor Santa Cruz (4000.00 eur) . I think apart from the Santa Cruz is really extraordinary, the differences of others provide sound options which will depend on what you want, but not really big differences in quality manufacturing. For my part, I chose the Cort for his typed "vintage", I wanted this difference, I was not looking for a small guitar that sounds like great. It is obvious that the grave is not the appointment and the midrange and treble are decent.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice and the hand is made easier. Preferring light strings, I found my happiness with "Elixir custom light" to replace the medium Daddario mounted originally. The handle is short the cash is not cut for the high end, it grated! But the tone of the guitar is shorter so it sounds more acute ...
The ergonomics and balance are appropriate. the gameplay is good, but you have to place the finger for not buzer. I still remember that this is a guitar at 400.00 eur who designed similar to other models and more expensive, but not a Santa Cruz, which is ten times the price.

SOUNDS

Blues, blues, blues, ... No big rhythm. The song on holiday with friends (or at home or anywhere for that matter). As a second guitar in all, it provides the answer and says charm is giving some relief to the melody. It sounds great loud enough to be heard among the others!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. The price / quality ratio is very good and I would do this choice. For the rest, see the preceding paragraphs.
This guitar is really nice, although it sounds a bit "Asia" timbre is an opportunity to explore other musical styles and fly to other compositions. It is certainly not a guitar polivalente and if you want to learn an instrument unique to play all styles, you're wrong. In similar instrument, there is also the Takamine New York (to 900.00 eur).
As I said above it takes the road with its difference asserted in the face of the guitar as previously mentioned but not the face of high-end instrument which is not intended to be seen from the budget. Program are consistent and the instrument is beautiful to look at and fun to play.
