Description

Cort built the AD-MINI-M-OP as part of the Standard Series, the brand's longest-running acoustic line, positioning it as a 3/4-scale dreadnought intended for beginners and hobbyists. The reduced body size made it a practical instrument for players requiring a smaller format without stepping outside the dreadnought family.

The guitar featured an all-African Mahogany (Okoume) construction across the top, back and sides, paired with a Mahogany (Palaquium) neck. A natural open-pore finish was applied directly to the wood, allowing the mahogany to resonate without a heavy surface coating. Cort braced the top with Advanced X-Bracing. The fretboard and bridge were both Merbau, the neck joined the body via a dovetail joint, and the nut measured 43mm (1 5/8") at the shortened 578mm (22.8") scale. Dot inlays marked the fretboard positions, a White Pearl Acryl rosette ringed the soundhole, and 19 frets were available. A gig bag was included with the instrument.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — bridge saddles, nut blanks, tuning machines or fret wire — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician, noting the 43mm nut width and shortened scale length, which may affect compatibility with components sized for full-scale instruments.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
