Cort Earth 60CE Solid-Top Acoustic-Electric Dreadnought, Black Gloss

The Earth 60 is Cort's solid-top dreadnought at a working price, and the CE is the cutaway with a pickup. A solid spruce top opens up with playing the way a laminate never does, the dreadnought body gives the big low end for strumming, and the cutaway gets you to the top frets. Plug it in and it goes to a PA. Dovetail neck joint, black gloss.

A first serious acoustic, or a stage guitar you won't worry about.
