  • Excellent video! For the past several months, I've been lamenting the fact that it would take me most of the rest of my life (I'm 65) to save up for a Martin SC13e (about $2k). Then I discovered Cort guitars! The A6 and A8 (Rosewood body) offer fantastic sound, as you've demonstrated here. The NDX50 also comes equipped with Fishman electronics (the older Presys Blend preamp, with which I have experience), and sells for around $700. So yes, I'm definitely looking into Cort guitars. Great sound, but leaves me with beer and burger money after buying one! ????????????

  • Dear Pete, awesome review. I am on path where I need to decide between A6 and A8. I like LB and visual on A8 more. Would you recommend it to me or that A8 isnt as good as A6? In specs It looks like to me its same guitar. Thanks for answer. ????

  • Man, that intro was mixed absolutely beautifully, the sound coming from side to side, absolutely fantastic. Was so surprised to come across such a quality mix on a review video. Thank you for the experience sir.

  • Cort makes really solid instruments, and puts them within reach of working musicians. Once we mature past the logo on the headstock, there are a lot of great quality instruments out there. In my opinion, that’s a stage-ready instrument.

  • Get a Faith FKV and make a aide by side comparison please. Their price ranges and specs are amazing

  • Yep, the Cort.
    That was the acoustic guitar I chose
    over the entire mix in all local guitar shops,
    24 years ago..
    That guitar was as important as underwear or food.

    I named that soundhole:
    "The World According To Cort".
    I have some HILARIOUS and heartwarming photo's with that guitar.

    *btw*, there's a secret with an acoustic guitar with ebony fretboards.

  • How was the action after you set the truss rod? Saddle and nut cut good with a 'low' action? Just watching you play that one part, she looks pretty fast… Especially that far up the neck. I assume you didn't get a dead fret on it as well.
    Every time I watch your channel, I always have to say what your playing style reminds me of…
    Dave Matthews and Blues Traveler together!

  • Gee, thanks, Pete. I just dropped several Ks on an acoustic guitar, will be eating Ramen for the next year, and it doesn't even have a pickup! Why couldn't you have posted this a couple of days ago?! ????

  • Great fingers and a really nice down to earth guy … respect …
    You could make anything sound good …
    It's all in work ethics and of course a great touch … that you don't learn … it comes within !!!!

  • It's really cool to see new stuff from Cort. They always make a great instrument, and for less than a grand – an all solid-wood acoustic with an ebony fretboard and saddle plus the Fishman Blend – that's a lot of guitar for a great price! The gear available today continues blow my mind. Back in '81 my Sears Flying V and Alamo 1×8 combo – LOL! Amazing what you can grab today without a refrigerator-rack system that cost more than my first car.

    Excellent video as always. Always looking forward to your content! Keep doing the good stuff!!!!!!!????????????

  • I'd be curious to put this Cort up against my Norman B18 which also has a Fishman pickup, though no extra microphone. My Norman cost a little under $500 Canadian when I bought it a year and a half ago.

  • Great playing Pete, but you lost me on this. Within the "sub $1000 acoustic" catagory, there are SO many great options- with pedigree. Try Yamaha acoustic guitars (for example, and among MANY others)- as they have been building these almost as long as (unmentionable) domestic guitars. The Cort does sound good.
