Masterworks: a lutherie approach focused on performance
The Cort MF70CEHF belongs to the MASTERWORKS series, designed with a clear goal: to get the most out of an all-solid wood instrument. Here, every detail matters in the final balance (weight, top thickness, bracing profile, back design, and wood selection). The result aims for a guitar that is both powerful and clear, with immediate response and great definition, whether played fingerstyle or with a pick.
For whom and for which styles?
With its Folk/OM format, the MF70CEHF is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking nuance and precision while maintaining a good volume reserve. It excels in fingerstyle, acoustic pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, but is also very comfortable with open arpeggios and dynamic rhythms. Its wide nut provides appreciated comfort for fingerstyle playing and extended chords.
Sound
The AAA solid Sitka spruce top delivers a crisp attack, excellent treble definition, and great responsiveness: dynamics are easily achieved even at low intensity. The Indian rosewood back and sides enhance bass depth, harmonic breadth, and sustain, resulting in a broader and more "hi-fi" sound image. The FS6 bracing helps increase top vibration, improving projection and the sensation of instant response. Plugged in, the LR Baggs HiFi electronics (under-saddle pickups) aim for a balanced, detailed, and very faithful instrument sound, with great precision on attack and nuances.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, opt for 12-53 acoustic strings (the same gauge as the factory-installed D'Addario XSAPB1253). A guitar humidifier is also recommended to protect an all-solid construction from humidity variations, especially in winter or heated indoor environments.
