Description

Cort built the EARTH70-MH as part of its Earth Series, a line conceived as a tribute to vintage acoustic guitars. The dreadnought was positioned to deliver the look, sound, feel, and playability associated with those instruments while maintaining consistent build quality throughout the range.

The guitar is constructed with a solid African Mahogany (Okoume) top joined to African Mahogany back and sides, supported by Advanced X-Bracing. The neck is Mahogany (Palaquium), joined to the body via a dovetail neck joint, and carries an Ovangkol fretboard with dot inlays across 20 frets. The scale runs 643mm (25.3") with a 43mm nut width. An Ovangkol bridge, ivory body binding, and die-cast tuners complete the hardware complement. The guitar ships strung with D'Addario EXP16 strings. Cort applied an open-pore finish to the body, a construction choice the Earth Series was noted for in connection with allowing the mahogany to resonate freely.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or compatible replacement parts — including saddle, nut, tuner buttons, or bridge pins suited to a dreadnought with a 43mm nut — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician for guidance.

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.

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.
