I just recieved a new Cort Earth 202 guitar today, and it's a definate
keeper. This is a dreadnought sized guitar that sports a solid Cedar top,
solid mahogany back, and laminated mahogany sides. It's finished with
Corts open pore finish, as seen on many of Cort's Parkwood models. The
workmanship on this instrument seems flawless, I can't find any faults. The
sound is also impressive. The top is quite dynamic and responsive to
finger picking and light strumming, which is what I bought it for. It's not as
well suited for hard strumming, but I have spruce topped guitars if I want
to do that.

The neck is on the thin side, which is comfortable for me. The factory
setup seems good, with standard string height. An extra saddle was
supplied, so I will probably lower the action a hair when it's time to change
the strings. The Grover tuners feel smooth and precise, and came with
black plastic knobs, which suits the cosmetics of the guitar. The guitar
wasn't sold with a case, so I had to order one seperately.

Overall, I feel that I got an exceptional guitar for a very low price.
Anyone in the market for a great sounding cedar top guitar should seriously
consider this. I paid $300 for the guitar with free shipping. It came double
boxed with styrofoam penuts in between the boxes. I bought it from
Dr. Cluck on eBay. This was the second guitar I've bought from this dealer,
and I've found him to be fair and honest, and will be talking with him
about some other Cort guitars.

Congrats Orbitz9, another best keep secret in the super bang for your buck guitar. I really like the feel/look of the open pore finish Cort and Parkwood use. I couldn't agree with you more about Doc's ...... salt of the earth. :thu: Enjoy.

Another congratulations. It's also good to learn of good experiences with other dealers, confirming what Trina has previously said.

Very nice guitar. Congratulations. For some goofy reason I've been wanting a new guitar, again. You guys are really no help with this addiction, you know?
