Cort MR500E Acoustic Electric Guitar
This is the Cort MR500E and it embodies Cort’s mission to provide the highest quality traditional instruments with superb workmanship and modern features at an unbeatable value.
The MR500E has the classic combination of a solid Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides. The Mahogany neck features a 20 fret Ovangkol fingerboard with dot inlay position markers.
The Dreadnaught body has a Venetian cutaway for easy high fret access and is equipped with Cort CE304T electronics to deliver the MR’s natural acoustic sound to an amplification system for both live and recording applications.
SOLID SPRUCE TOP
Spruce provides the ideal balance between strength and flexibility, hence its overwhelming popularity as the wood of choice for tops of acoustic guitars. Spruce’s versatile sonic character along with Cort’s Advanced Scalloped X-Bracing makes it the ideal guitar for a variety of musical genres and playing styles.
MAHOGANY BACK & SIDES
Bright yet natural with a strong and warm midrange, the beloved mahogany wood has been a standard for back and sides on premium acoustics for many decades.
CE304T EQ
The CE304T Preamp includes a 3-band EQ for tonal flexibility and a built-in LED tuner for convenience. This high-value EQ system delivers a rich midrange with clear transparent highs.
SCOOPED BRIDGE
The exclusive scooped surface bridge from Cort enhances sustain with greater string angle from the saddle to the body while reducing tension on the strings across the neck were less finger fatigue and improved playability.
OPEN PORE FINISH
Not only does the open pore finish enhance the resonance of the woods but it also reduces the weight of the guitar for improved playability. This model’s natural and brown finishes feature gloss top for high-end vintage look and feel.
