Cort Luce L450C

I use the guitar primarily for picking, as I dont use a plectrum. However, like everyone, I also need to strum a little. I play up and down the neck in a variety of styles, but this little beauty loves, and I mean loves, playing blues style.

The shape is lovely, once you get used to it. The finish is plain, and IMO much the better for it. It was the neck that I fell in love with: I was in a music shop looking for a slide, and I picked this guitar from the wall to try a slide with. In seconds I was struck by just how much this neck wanted to be played. I had never had that feeling before. Up and down and in and out...it really inspired me. The body is comfortable to hold, much more so than a jumbo or dreadnought. the sound is dark and mature, and has definitely become more so after playing steadily for a couple of years. I own a couple of different guitars, and this has become very much my go to axe.

There are no electronics, but I purchased a simple, cheap, passive pick up and it sounds great going through my ( admittedly very expensive AER ) amplifier. There is just something special about this guitar.

Buy it if you love to play. Buy it if you are a beginner. Buy it if you want something a little different and buy it if you are a pro.

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, slides perfectly, CHAC in acute stroke without pan trs good ergonomics (given the format a bit smaller than the dreadnoughts), the weight is correct balance between the neck and body.

Return info 2 years APRS purchase ... no regrets, it is quite versatile, well-aged trs.

SOUNDS

Trs found 210 new sound good on a website (guitardiscount) site that I recommend (which no longer exists).
nikel in folk, blues, arpges, agreements, and also ensures varitoche, and even in the gypsy, trs is versatile and possde sound all its own, although lower Submitted, sharp lens.
It's reasonably well in the stomach.

In short a good little guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks, I'm all beginners, but having had the opportunity to try in-store or trying to do, I think the price is largely due a guitar. Trs good report quality price.
good sound, good quality, work trs respectable violin making, look cool, satin ... a beautiful object, a good friend ....
I would do that choice .... it's a guitar I would keep

For testing, I had the opportunity to hear the baby taylor, the big baby, a fender, an art and violin AMI, a martin .... it's good for some of the sound is not the same, but it has nothing to envy the great ...

For beginners looking for a good MODEL grand concert size .... go there with closed eyes, it is ..... amazing!

2 years APRS purchasing this little gem and use almost daily, even notice .. no regrets ...

Everything has already been said. It is at first very well finished, mahogany is really sleek and gives a "face" terrible ".
I feel like an old Martin or ... almost!
Look closely, there are few "inaccuracies", but really looking good!
Very nice guitar.

UTILIZATION

Very good grip.
the handle is a bit round and after an adjustment period using the thumb becomes second nature.
I have big hands and they hug the neck perfectly.
Glide. The template is more accessible than the Dreadnought, and the weight seems to me short of average.

SOUNDS

I find it rather well balanced with low present, and this sound while mahogany.
play chords and arpeggios is a delight, and the picking is a joy to roundness and warmth.
It sounds at once bluesy, and I do not know why but I regret not having more levels of play!
To be accompanied by guitar / vocals, or make oxen blues, or folk picking, this guitar seems ready for anything.

OVERALL OPINION

I received last month and I prefer it to my BigBaby Taylor, which however remains an excellent guitar but less typed. My BigBaby is softer or duller, and its bass is less invasive. This Cort is the missing link.
At this price (and more expensive), it is an excellent guitar for beginners because it allows easy access to all acoustic styles (some play gypsy but ...) and it flatters, what Does it flatter!
The value for money is excellent and it ranks in my opinion within a range of much more expensive guitar (from 400 to 600 €).
She is my guitar and the least expensive one that has the most personality.
With experience .... well I'll tell you when I have more experience!
comparison with the Italian Martin 0015 (although higher I think) is still amazing!

made in china
mahogany table and back
mahogany neck, mahogany laminated splint
Grover open
everything has been said.

UTILIZATION

The handle is great, it feels good in the hand, nice, glides well, frets are good, accurate.
The ergonomics are excellent, concert format, convenient, handy, perfect.
Access to the treble is normal, without more, is classic, what happens there.
readily obtained a good sound.
it lacks a microphone to plug electro, but for 30 euro we find a new one was added without changing the violin.

SOUNDS

It suits my style, I can play anything with this guitar.
it provides really arpeggio and blues, his beautiful, balanced, singing, organic.
in folk or in agreement, it also provides.
Due to its size, it is well in hand and helping us to be at ease and send the sauce to bring out the innards of the beast and play more instinctive than a dreadnougth, and it's great.
She has very nice bass sound that deserves to be pushed.
this guitar responds incredibly well to drop, it's deep, it shows its full potential.
overall sound is balanced, singing, bluesy, with superb treble.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some weeks.
I try not to hurt since I play guitar (12years).
jaime back and massive mahogany table, all mahogany, aesthetics, mechanics that takes very good agreement and its beautiful, its size, price, sounds very nice, short it is perfect and I love it .
Its flaws are minor and adds personality.
value for money slaying all in its path, one can find a secondhand 150euros and ... is the business of the century, already has nine 240euros is the case I think it century. is largely a martin, at least they played in the same short, but not in the same price ...
I REFERRED 1000fois this choice.
Chinese small thank you
