I seem to be seeing lots of Cort acoustic guitars of late, much more often than say; Yamaha. This could mean that the brand is steadily gaining favor with local musicians. On the other hand, it could also indicate that Yamaha guitars hold up better over time than Cort.
In any case, here's an excellent example of Cort craftsmanship. The soundhole label identifies it as an "MR600F TGS NAT." I'm guessing that "NAT" stands for "Natural Finish," but have no idea what the "TGS" represents. Now, let's look at some specs. The majority was sourced from the Cort website, and a couple based on my own observations.
