A "vintage" dreadnought at the heart of the Earth series
Designed as a tribute to great vintage-inspired folk acoustics, Cort's Earth series embraces proven fundamentals: simple and effective lutherie, recognized tonewoods, and playability designed to last. The Earth 70 E70OP fits this philosophy with a no-frills approach focused on essentials: warm sound, balanced response, and reliability appreciated daily, whether in rehearsal or on stage.
For whom and for which styles?
Versatile by nature, the Cort Earth 70 E70OP suits both beginner guitarists seeking a serious first folk guitar and intermediate musicians wanting an effective dreadnought to play anywhere. Its format and dynamics make it comfortable in pop, folk, acoustic rock, country, and vocal accompaniment. It responds well to pick playing for rhythm parts while remaining expressive with fingers for arpeggios.
The sound
The solid spruce top delivers clarity, precision, and dynamic reserve: the harder you play, the more projection it offers without compression. The dreadnought format enhances low-end breadth and provides a strong presence in rhythm playing. The back and sides in mahogany (okoume) add warm mids and a natural character, ideal for a round and balanced tone. The X-bracing supports the top and contributes to the projection/sustain balance, while the carved bridge (Cort design) promotes sustain and contributes to a more comfortable tension feel along the neck. The Open Pores finish allows the wood to breathe better and reinforces this impression of "direct" resonance.
Recommended compatible accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel, you can opt for D'Addario EXP16 strings (light gauge), as per the factory setup. A folk guitar capo and an acoustic guitar strap (with appropriate attachment) effectively complete the gear for stage, home, or rehearsal use.

Very well packaged package, no worries about that, a bit disappointed with the service offered by Chronopost who dropped my package off at a relay when it was originally supposed to be delivered to my home.. but well now I have it that's good.
Regarding the guitar... I tuned it directly and tested it, and... WHAT A PLEASURE!! Great sound, good reasoning, the strings are pleasant to scratch, frankly for the price, it's a great choice! What prompted me to buy it was to see the blind test done by the woodbrass team and guests, and now that I have it in my hands, I understand why it was everyone's favorite;)Automatically translated

Package received in less than 24 hours and guitar very well packaged. Very good value for money, the massive table is appreciable, the sound as well.
On the other hand, as another buyer did in the comments, I also filed the bridge nut by about 2mm, I think that the strings are natively way too high, but everything is back to normal.Automatically translated

The safe bet to start playing Folk guitar - the price has certainly increased over the years, but honestly Cort remains the king of value for money and the Earth 70 remains a very good guitar for beginners or even for experienced guitarists looking for a second guitar that is not too expensive to lug around.

I have been playing guitar for 6 months, I have been very well advised and living abroad, the guitar could be delivered with a carrier other than the one provided at no extra cost.
The guitar is a bit bigger than the one I started with, but the sound is much better.Automatically translated
