Cort L60M OP (Open Pore) Acoustic Guitar

RM790

Available in both straight acoustic and electro-acoustic configurations – the latter sporting a Fishman Presys II piezo pickup system – the L60M OP offers a luxurious feel to those looking for an acoustic on a budget, with an orchestra-sized OM body shape, satin-finished mahogany top, back and sides, and an effortlessly playable satin-finished mahogany neck and 25.5” scale length.

The latter is complemented by a 20-fret laurel/merbau fingerboard, offering a seamless aesthetic blend with the natural wood grain patterns of the neck and body – finished with white dot inlays. The guitar’s looks are kept understated but classy, its open-pore finish complemented by a colour-coordinated laurel/merbau bridge, tortoise pickguard, black and cream ABS rosette and black binding.

The first thing we notice upon taking this nifty little strummer for a spin, besides its impressive projection and sleek, earthy aesthetic, is that its action is set notably well straight out of the box. That is, at the perfect Goldilocks point: low enough for comfortable fretting, but not so low that fret buzz ever becomes an issue.

This not only makes it a particularly attractive option for beginners – who are, more often than not, both shopping at low price points and after an instrument that requires little setting up to get started – and more seasoned players looking for a no-fuss, no-stress practice guitar.

The L60M OP’s straightforward aesthetic is completed by a set of die-cast tuners at the headstock, the ratio of which make them gloriously suited to micro-adjustments, with a relatively large deal of rotation required to adjust string pitch. This makes tuning this guitar with accuracy a breeze.

Circling back to its sound, the L60M OP offers a powerful projection for its form factor and price point. That said, there’s a notable emphasis on high-frequency content, which, at times, masks any boominess associated with the low-end, particularly when playing with a pick.

Adopting a fingerstyle approach helps subdue those prominent high frequencies and level out the spectrum for a more balanced response. Of course, the guitar’s factory-fresh coated strings are likely to be a contributing factor to its slightly skewed frequency response, which will naturally level out as they settle in.
