Guitar
A straightforward dreadnought that spends the money where an entry-level acoustic guitar actually needs it.
This is the sort of guitar that makes sense as a first proper acoustic. The dreadnought body gives it plenty of volume, the spruce top gives it room to develop as you play, and the mahogany construction keeps the sound familiar rather than fussy. It is not an heirloom instrument and it does not need to be. Spend the money on learning to play instead of polishing a guitar that spends most of its life in a case.
Beginners and players who want an inexpensive full-size acoustic for learning, practice and casual playing.
You need a smaller body for comfort or specifically want an electric-acoustic setup for amplified performance.
The Cort AD810BKS is a standard dreadnought acoustic guitar with a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a black satin finish. It is built as a conventional full-size acoustic rather than trying to reinvent the instrument.
