Cort Earth Mini NTGD (New travel guitar day)

Finally got my Cort Earth Mini today! After reading plenty of favourable reviews on the internet, the one thing that I was expecting was a guitar in desperate need of setup. This one is set up! No fret buzz, strings are not too high or low, Frets are fitted quite well, so no sharp edges as noted in some of the reviews. Did some picking and it responds well, strumming has a great warm tone. The Bass strings are not as prominent as I would like but still good stuff. Great guitar, will post Pics later I played the Baby Taylor and the Little Martin to compare, and the Cort is not far behind in looks or tone, but hugely behind when it comes to price. I approached my local music shop who said they would have to order from Cort (In Cape Town, I believe) and would take a week and half to arrive and they could offer me a deal of R1995, discounted from the retail price of R2495. Thought I would phone around and not much luck, but eventually got through to the West Rand Music Mate who in my mind were a bunch of ripoffs and unhelpful in the past. I spoke to the most helpful person called Rob who could offer it to me for R1600 and a 2 day delivery from Cort (Cape Town). I said lets make a deal, stressing that I would have to play it before I buy it, which he agreed to. 2 days later the Cort arrived so hats off Music Mate ?

I have a whole article on Nashville tuning:

The example is electric, but all the same stuff applies...
