(Used) 2000 Cort Earth 1000 Acoustic Guitar #0374

Launching at the turn of the millennium, Cort’s Earth series represented a major push by the manufacturer to deliver premium, traditional tonewoods and boutique-level aesthetics at a price point working musicians could actually afford. This Cort is in Good Condition - It has 2-3 dents on the top as well as some scratches and buckle rash on the back. It has one replacement briedge pin. No structural issues were found, but there is a small patch of discoloration on the back and bracing. The Earth 1000 stands at the absolute top of that vintage-inspired family, built to capture the timeless look, feel, and projection of a pre-war dreadnought. Featuring highly upgraded cosmetic appointments that set it apart from standard production models, this twenty-six-year-old survivor offers an exceptional blend of broken-in maturity and solid, road-tested structural reliability.

The acoustic engine of this dreadnought relies on a premium combination of a solid Sitka spruce top paired with a visually stunning rosewood back and sides. This classic tonewood marriage yields an incredibly deep, rich bass response and a sparkling, metallic high-end chime that has beautifully opened up after more than two decades of natural aging. The traditional non-scalloped X-bracing ensures maximum structural stability while providing a wide dynamic range, allowing the guitar to easily handle heavy flatpicking, aggressive strumming, or delicate fingerstyle arrangements with equal clarity and note separation.

The mahogany neck features a highly comfortable, standard "C" profile that offers an effortless transition across the rosewood fingerboard. High-end cosmetic touches decorate the entire instrument, showcased by the beautiful abalone hex block position markers running up the fretboard and a matching abalone fleur-de-lis inlay centered on the headstock overlay. Completed by its premium multi-ply body purfling and reliable gold tuning machines, this Earth 1000 stands as an incredible value for any player seeking a fully opened-up rosewood dreadnought.
