The legendary Cort Earth 70 now comes as a 12-string acoustic guitar. For all your favorite 12-string songs like: Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd), Hotel California (The Eagles) or Ticket to Ride (The Beatles). The Earth 70-12 shows that it is not necessary to have to lay down large sums of money for a decent 12-string guitar.
For the starting guitarist, we would like to offer the best available on the market. Especially when you start to play the guitar, you will benefit from a great guitar, which 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 great guitar brands such as Ibanez, PRS and Fender and produces more than 1 million guitars per 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 huge amount 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 see with Cort and only exceptionally.
