Description

Cort built the Earth50-OP as part of its Earth Series EasyPlay Collection, positioning it as an entry-level acoustic guitar with a 7/8 dreadnought body, shortened scale, and lightweight string set intended to ease the learning curve for novice players. Despite its learner-oriented brief, Cort specified solid tonewoods and construction techniques more typically associated with mid-tier instruments.

The top is solid spruce, braced with scalloped traditional X-bracing and joined to the body via a dovetail neck joint. Back and sides are African mahogany (Okoume), the neck is mahogany (Palaquium), and both the fretboard and bridge are Ovangkol. The nut width is 43mm (1 11/16") and the scale length is 628mm (24.75"). Tuners are die-cast, the rosette is brown etched, and the guitar ships strung with light gauge coated strings. The open pore natural finish is identified in the product name. No binding, pickup or electronics specifications appear in the source material.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including a compatible nut blank, Ovangkol saddle, or light gauge string set — or requiring a neck reset inspection on the dovetail joint should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with acoustic instruments of this construction.

From the people who own them

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.

Put yours on the record.

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.

What do you know about this one?

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.
