Note: With eBay changing their policy on feedback calculation mine went from better then 99% down to 95% as they apparently are using just the previous 12 month period. Read through my seller feedback and you will see that everyone was very satisfied with guitars from me. I recently recieved a negative feedback, as a buyer, from a fellow who at the time had only 1 eBay feedback. Believe me this guy didn't know what he was doing. Winning his auction and exchanging emails with shipping address etc. then a couple of days after he said he shipped the guitar to me... before I even paid for it and provided a tracking numgber that showed up in the system. Also adding $35 for the cost a cardboard box. Couldn't tell if the guy was for-real or a scammer as he stated in the listing he was an MD and needed to sell his guitars as he was headed to Saudi Arabia to practice medicine for a couple of years. A telephone number he emailed to me gave a recording stating "not in service". Did want the guitar he had listed, but the facts surrounding were so unusual it definitely seemed he was a scammer.

This is a fine guitar. Have owned numerous high-end dreadnought guitars; Martin D-42 Collings D-3 and numerous other high end Martins and Taylors. This Cort LE-3 IR Limited Edition model will hold it own with the best of them. Very fine guitar, would say it is on par to Martin D-41-42-45 models. One factor about the Cort Limited Edition dreadnoughts is that they sound good, loud and very focused with light strings. They come strung with D'Addario EXP lights. Most… Taylor, Martin, Collings really need mediums to keep the sound focused, thats why they sound good for a week or two with lights but then the good sound turns blah. Have three of the limited editions and like them all... (click on view sellers other items to see 2 LE's out of Brazilian Rosewood) unfortunately due to a recent move and lack of secure storage space need to trim down to one acoustic, one electric and one silent practice guitar... tough to let go of guitars you like but currently am paying a lot for a storage locker with in a tempurature and (humidity) controlled environment.

This guitar had some really minor rub marks on the back (you have to hold in bright light to even see them) that can be polished out, which caused it to be stamped “Used�. A guitar tech, using a buffing wheel and polishing compound can make it look perfect if desired. I got it new from a Cort dealer. The guitar has no problems at all.

No other issues. Perfect neck set angle. No cracks or finish problems. No intonation problems. No dings or scratches.

High grade solid Bearclaw Spruce top.

High grade solid E. Indian Rosewood back and sides.

Ebony fret-board and bridge.

Bone nut and saddle.

Standard nut width 1 11/16� or 43mm (actully a hair over 1 11/16").

Beautiful hand crafted abalone and mother of pearl inlays.

Maple wood bindings, with a fine blue line running next to maple wood bindings.

Hawaiian Koa wood inlay around the tops perimeter.

Fossil mammoth ivory bridge pins set with abalone inlays, these run about $100 on eBay and definitely improve a guitars sound over bone pins and much more over plastic pins.
