Location: Snåsa, Norway | ... on my short Stockholm vacation. A Cort Earth 900, 12-fret slothead. Think it's a parlour or 00-sized body ("auditorium" according to the factory specs, not quite sure about the correct nomenclature), solid top (cedar) and back (mahogany) sides laminated mahogany. 47 mm string spacing (my guess is 1 3/4"?) at the nut. In short a nice little guitar for blues fingerpickin'. Paid 4000 SEK (ca $550), and saved about $350 compared to the price in my local guitar store. [Wink]

Put on a new set of strings instead of the rusty ones from the stores, which didn't sound really bad though, and now she sings with her true voice. More crisp and sharp tone than my Ovation, and resonates beautyfully, vibrates in my lap, totally different feeling from my deep bowl Custom Legend and my dreadnought 12-string. I'd say she sings as beautiful as she looks, but I'm of course a little biased for the moment. :D |

Location: Snåsa, Norway | Got no pics yet, a digital camera is on my wishlist, but the purchase is delayed because of this guitar. I also bought a Zoom H4 recorder, so you can hear me playing it. |

Location: Snåsa, Norway | Scanned some photos of my Cort (and pics of my other steelstring acoustics as well). You'll find them here.
After a few days of playing it stands out to me as a specialiced machine for fingerpickin' the blues. "Lady sings the blues" with a lovely voice. For other purposes I prefer the old Custom Legend, it's a lot more versatile. ;) |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | She's really beautiful, Erik. The neck inlays remind me of a delicate, old-fashioned necklace. (Some day I'll have speakers, and then I'll be able to appreciate her singing, too.) I'm so glad you got her. Thanks for posting the other pictures, too--it's always a pleasure to see "family" pictures.
