    Nice review Edwin. Yours has a Rosewood fingerboard. Current production for export are now coming with Merbau fingerboards. See Cort's website for spec and detail. Coarser grain lighter wood, but feels identical to Rosewood to play. Incredible quality and playing guitar for so very little money. I love everything about mine, particularly its tone.

    • @Edwin-E
      @Edwin-E  6 років тому

      thanks for a very informative comment. I have never seen Merbau fingerboard. Can you spot the difference in Rosewood?

    • @theblytonian3906
      @theblytonian3906 6 років тому +1

      @@Edwin-E Yes. Merbau is lighter in colour and grainier with a darker contrasting grain. It feels indistinguishable from Rosewood. As this is the only guitar I have with Merbau, I don't know if it impacts tone, but if it does it's in the positive sense. I love the AF510's tone. Click on the specifications tab on the AF510 page on Cort's website. Scroll down the spec list to Fingerboard. It is spec'd as "Rosewood or Merbau". Click on the Merbau hotlink and it will take you to an image of Merbau and other substitute woods being used by Cort in the face of the worldwide Rosewood restrictions of CITES.

    The Yamaha 310 or the electric version of the cort AF 510?

      both guitars are same level, however, they have different body sizes. Yamaha F310 has bigger body than Cort AF510. So, it depends on your size preference.

    So your advice is to re-string this guitar? Just bought it and is my first acoustic so I'm not sure if I am not skilled enough, but I feel the strings too thick and a bit too hard to play. Which strings would you recommend? Thanks for the review!

    • @Edwin-E
      @Edwin-E  4 роки тому

      If you find it really thick for stock strings which is normally Light gauge, you can move down to Custom Light gauge .011. But I don't not go beyond that coz the tone would be to thin.

      Hi! I've tried a set of Elixir 0.11 polyweb (I chosed them because I prefer a warmer tone) and although they don't seem to be thinner than the set that came with the guitar I feel them softer and they sound amazing! I think these strings are perfect for this guitar, make It sound soft and warm but very well balanced. Elixir are not cheap but they are worth It. Thanks!

      If you want louder and more bass, then better buy an Epiphone Dr100, it has full body dreadnought. Unlike this one, this has smaller body and great for travelling.
