    Really SWEET guitar. I believe another major contributing factor to the overall sound & tone is because there is no sound hole in the top, there is more real estate in that spruce top to resonate. I'm definitely impressed.

    I think, along with all the other things you mentioned ; because the front of the Guitar
    has no holes, it is able to resonate the String Vibrations Exponentially Better.
    This is one of the Best Sounding Guitars I have
    ever Heard !! Great Playing Justiin !! 🌿

      Yes, I remember just becoming a teenager in the early 80's-our little music store got in a couple "cheap" Cort electric guitars.
      A flying "V" and maybe a destroyer. Both were two tone blue. To a broke kid just learning how to play guitar I thought they were incredible. A friend of mine ended up buying the "V" and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it to play it every time. What a time to be alive!

    • @bradrehn1007

    I have been playing a Boulder Solitaire acoustic guitar for about 2 months now. It also has the sound hole on the top side of the guitar. I appreciate this dynamic very much. It is great when you are playing guitar for yourself, or practicing and trying to really hear the sounds that your audience hears with a traditional guitar with the sound hole on the front. I do appreciate your review of this brand as well. I'd like to check one out sometime.

    I played that model about a week ago at a music store in their acoustic room. It’s very nice indeed but not for me.. I decided to buy the Cort Gold A6 Nat model instead. And I’m still gassing for the Cort Passion model that the store didn’t have in stock. Cort are definitely building some fabulous guitars these days. I’d love to know how many prototypes they built to decide on two huge side sound ports on this model. Great review! Cheers from Australia!

Thanks again for sharing what you do, your music is amazing. I want to try one of those shovel guitars that you play, think there pretty cool.

    Beautiful guitar. Love the acoustic natural sound but I've never been a fan of piezo pickups. They just sound flat for lack of a better way to describe it tho that might not be the best way to say it. Just a bit lifeless or something. However, the natural sound on this is beautiful. But then, you make any guitar sound good. This is indeed a gorgeous instrument!

    @OldMike1958 Місяць тому +1

    The guitar looks beautiful, that's undeniable.
    Now, I don't see the advantage of the holes at the top, except that they can have greater access to the microphone when the performer sings... I don't know. Would have to listen to the same model with the hole in the front and this version.
    What I really like is the width of the neck. There is greater separation between the strings and for an amateur like me it is an advantage.
    Beyond that, dear Justin, you can make music with a sowel, so in your hands any guitar will sound good.

      @kaushalsuvarna5156 Місяць тому

      What he said, you can hear the nuances better, and you can play more quietly if that's an issue at home. It's also very responsive but that may just be the Engelmann spruce top and the full board minus the hole.
      As for the neck, apart from the width, like he said the asymmetric shape not just down the neck but across the neck as well makes it a very comfortable guitar to hold and quickly slide down when playing

    Great review. I was in the market for a new acoustic when Cort popped up on my radar. To get the features I wanted, I would have had to spend 3 to 4 times as much on a name. I went with the Cort Gold DC-6 and couldn't be happier with it. I play out and occasionally host open mic. It's nice not having to worry about a little road wear or letting someone else play it.

    Greetings Mr. Johnson. I've been building semi hollow electric guitars with the holes smoothed into the sides since 2001. Bro I just got the wood for #24. The design pushes the waves out of the body away from the strings. It was my solution to Chet Atkins quest for electric guitar sustain and tone perfection. If y'all have an email I will send some pics of the insides including the central Vesica Picsies chamber under the pickup cells that drives the waves. Sound is a funny thing man. Your a great player and it may be possible to get # 24 in your hands for a cruise around the track. I have a hand full of videos showing some of my last few babies. Love the show man. I'm glad the concept is grabbing hold without me having to be anything but an artist idiot savant. Sweet. See ya again as I'm bout to sub Mr.Johnson. Good day.
