A Masterworks Designed Like a Luthier Guitar Within the Cort Range
The Masterworks series emphasizes the details that truly make a difference: top thickness, bracing profile and weight, back design, and wood selection. On the MF60Hb, the approach is clearly oriented towards a responsive and defined guitar, with a design that prioritizes vibration and precision. The "Hb" suffix refers to the Herringbone aesthetic, sought after for its traditional and elegant look.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Cort MF60Hb is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive acoustic capable of finely translating right-hand nuances. The OM/Folk format is particularly comfortable for fingerstyle, pop, folk, blues, and vocal accompaniment, with excellent clarity of chords and arpeggios. Its nut width also favors comfort for more precise finger placements.
Sound
The solid Sitka AAA spruce top delivers a crisp attack, great clarity, and wide dynamics: the guitar responds immediately whether played softly or with more force. The mahogany back and sides enhance the midrange, provide a warm tone, and direct projection, very musical for both accompaniment and picking. The FS6 bracing is designed to let the top work more, improving the "breathing" sensation and note-to-note definition. Finally, the bone nuts, combined with ebony pins and the rosewood bridge, support sustain and intonation precision.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes factory-strung with D'Addario XSAPB1253: to maintain the same tension/sound balance, choose a 12-53 gauge set for acoustic folk guitar. It is delivered with an AFC30 case, ideal for transport and protection.
