Cort's Earth 60 is a popular western guitar for the beginning guitarist. And that's not surprising; a nicely built guitar with a solid spruce top, laminated mahogany back and sides and a laurel fingerboard that -for this price- sounds super good.
The guitar has a bound body, sealed oil-bath tuners and "open-pore" satin finish. Truly a bang-for-a-buck! For the starting guitarist we want to offer the best available on the market. Especially when you start playing the guitar, you will benefit from a great guitar that sounds good, is well built and has a nice finish.
Cort is built in the Indonesian Cor-tek factory which for years has been the court-producer for many other very large guitar brands such as Ibanez, PRS and Fender and produces over 1 million guitars a year!
So, in fact, it is the house brand of Cor-tek, although Cort is really a reputable brand in its own right and has been a market leader in the entry-level segment for years, with a nice product, lots of choice and good prices.
Because of the sheer volume of instruments built at Cort, with Cort you benefit from the law of large numbers; the quality of materials and build quality/finish is very consistent. Ailments or problems that are (seem to be) inherent to the price range that we still sometimes encounter with most other brands, we hardly ever see with Cort.
