Cort's long - standing Standard Series sets a high bar for acoustic guitars, offering top - notch performance at an affordable price. Ideal for beginners and hobbyists, these guitars come in various models with diverse features to suit every playing style. The AP550 features a Parlor body design, which gives it a unique sound profile. It has a Spruce top for warm tones, African Mahogany (Okoume) back and sides for resonance, and a Merbau fingerboard for smooth playability. Specifications include a 643mm (25.3') scale length, 19 frets, dot fretboard inlays, a Merbau bridge, and coated strings.
Using your Cort AP550 - VB acoustic guitar is easy. First, tune your guitar using a tuner to get the best sound. Hold the guitar comfortably on your lap, with your left hand on the fretboard and your right hand near the bridge to pluck the strings. When you're done playing, put it in the included gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep your guitar in a room with stable temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt, which will also help keep the strings sounding good for longer. And every few months, you might want to have a professional check the guitar's setup to make sure it's in top - notch condition.
