The GAS has been bubbling for a while, the outcome was inevitable.
This is from Cort's Gold series. That means solid timbers; Pau Ferro back & sides, Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard and an aged Englemann Spruce top. All very tasty and built to the same standard found on top Eastmans. I have no issue at all with the best Chinese luthiery these days; it's excellent.
It's a bit like the Lowden in that it demands excellent technique to sound its best but I'm a sucker for punishment. I've had to put the Matsuoka away because the Cort is brand new and doesn't stand a chance against a hard working 50 year old instrument. But I expect it to open up and meantime, it works with AER or Princeton just fine.
Right....Baritone next then I reckon I'm done.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Nice!
This looks like what I’ve been after for a while
Where did you pick it up ?
Guitar Gallery. It's a Cort OC8. They brought in two and predictably, Oleg got the other one. But there's a Cordobra cedar top at the Rockshop in Albany. If I had been able to A/B them together, I honestly don't know which I would have taken home. I strongly recommend it of all the available Crossovers I've played. (RS only have the one.)

Very nice. I had an M80 Matzuoka wished I’d have hung on to it like all the rest.
They get good when they're old.
