A Hybrid from the Classic Series: Between Nylon Tradition and Electro-Acoustic Approach
For over 60 years, Cort has been manufacturing guitars and basses known for their value for money. Within the Classic series, the brand distinguishes the AC models with traditional Spanish style and the CEC models called "hybrids": an approach designed for guitarists attracted by the tone of nylon strings but seeking a more modern feel. The Cort CEC-7 thus features a thin body, a cutaway, a thinner neck, and Fishman electronics for a more natural electro-acoustic use.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The Cort CEC-7 is aimed at the beginner to intermediate guitarist who wants a comfortable nylon string guitar, but also at the stage musician who needs a plug-and-play instrument. Its hybrid design is particularly suited to fingerstyle, pop, variety, Latin styles, and accompaniments where softness is sought without losing precision. Thanks to its nut width narrower than a traditional classical guitar, it facilitates transitions for guitarists coming from folk.
Sound
The solid cedar top delivers a warm sonic signature, with a soft attack and rich midrange, ideal for fingerstyle playing and nuances. The pau ferro used for the back and sides contributes to a clearer response, with good definition and a pleasant balance. The thin body format prioritizes comfort and control while offering consistent projection for home or stage. Plugged in, the combination of the Sonicore pickup and the Fishman Presys EQ aims for a clear and usable output, practical for retaining the nylon character in a mix.
