A CEC Designed for Nylon Guitarists Who Want a Modern Electro

For over 60 years, Cort has developed guitars known for their excellent value for money. Within the Classic series, the CEC-1 is part of the CEC models: nylon-string guitars with a format closer to an electro-acoustic, featuring a thin body, a cutaway, a thinner neck, and built-in electronics. An ideal choice for those who love the nylon sound but seek modern ergonomics and a ready-to-plug-in instrument.

For Which Musician and Styles?

The Cort CEC-1 is particularly aimed at beginners and intermediate players who want an easy-to-play nylon guitar, as well as steel-string guitarists who want to experience the warmth of nylon without switching to a traditional classical guitar. It suits folk, pop, variety, light pick accompaniment, and fingerstyle styles very well, especially when playing amplified.

Sound

With its spruce top, the CEC-1 emphasizes attack and definition, which helps maintain clear articulation in chords and arpeggios. The mahogany back and sides add a warmer tone, with present mids and a balanced response. The thin body promotes comfort and very controlled behavior when plugged in, while the CE304T EQ allows adjustment of the output to achieve a natural nylon sound that sits well in a mix.

Customer reviews

What customers say

Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews

Customers praised this classical-folk hybrid electric guitar for its "excellent value for money" and good projection. The wood texture and aesthetics received high marks. However, some noted string tension may be too high, finish quality could be better, and one customer experienced string placement issues at the neck edge.

Nice guitar, good workmanship. Good unplugged sound but...
The microphone does not output the high-pitched MI string sound. Replacement request in progress.
It's annoying, I have to separate me for a few days, even though I have already adopted him.
Great compromise between classical and folk, all in electro!
To be continued!
Update 17/03: Guitar returned on 13/03 at 18:00 p.m., the replacement returned 17/03 at 13:00.
Perfect after-sales service! 100%
The guitar as well as the first one with the high E that sounds electro.
A loyal customer! Congratulations Woodbrass!
Soon the CEC-5 or CEC-7!!! :-D: -D

Superb guitar! The wood has a very good texture and is very aesthetic, the game is pleasant because the guitar is not too thick.
The string tension may be a bit loud but that doesn't stop the game

Great value for money! Good unplugged projection. Very pleasant to play. At this price for a guitar in this category the risk was reduced, but it has everything essential with quality. Good choice!

Very satisfactory for an entry level.
Good handle, good projection, to be fussy, once plugged in, nylon strings dominate a bit in volume.
