Just bought home my first Cort - a very nice 2017 L450C, absolutely mint condition. Put fresh Newtone Heritage Series .010-.043s on it, and oh dear me, what a lovely little thing it is...

Makes a great buddy for the RO 10...

Really liked it, but I have a Cort L-500-O... 😁

Blackback Gull,FloridaGull,

I had the Cort L300VF in the before times. What a great little hot rod that thing was. It also had the Taylor-like 1.75" neck. Only little guitar outside of an Alvarez at the time that was available that even offered that in my neck of the woods. (pardon the pun).

I was actually under the impression that all the Luce series guitars had the 1.75" NW. I didn't know some of them were standard width.

Hmm. Just checked. Yup. Some of them do, some of them don't. It seems, if I took an educated guess, the ones where they figure someone's gonna buy it to play on stage are the ones that have the 1.75" neck. Interesting. Didn't look at all of them, but that's what it looks like for the few that I checked.

I own a Cort L500-O - solid spruce top, lam rosewood sides, 3-piece rosewood-maple-rosewood back, 12-fret, slot-head. When I take it to the open-mic, I use the iRig Acoustic Stage microphone.

I have been told by others there that this guitar is "perfect for the room" at the Elliott Museum... 🤷

We all know that Cort manufactures guitars for other companies. I believe they take leftover parts and make some limited models of their own until they are "used up". The L450-O was almost an exact copy of a Martin OOO15-M - I wonder if Martin contacted them to "cease & desist"... 🤔

They didn't make the L500-O for very long, either...
