NTL 20

The CORT NTL 20 is a superb guitar built with finger pickers in mind.

In the NTL 20 we get a choice wood Solid Spruce top with a Solid Mahogany back, laminate Mahogany sides for structural integrity and a one piece Mahogany neck right through to headstock.

It has a Jumbo type styling, with a narrow waist giving the guitar a most striking and unusual appearance; nothing comes close to it on looks in the market at the moment.

The aim with the NTL 20's design was to allow a balanced tonal quality from the woods. The bass response from the large sound board is huge, the mid range full, and with the top quality Solid Spruce top you get enhanced trebles. Put this together with the Solid Mahogany back and you have a tonal winner…….and at only £299.00 it is a natural upgrade from the Tanglewood TW15.

The bridge plate also has quite a radical design. It extends beyond normal bridge shape allowing a larger contact with the sound board………thus more volume and more tone. Match this with retro looking Grover Rotomatic tuners, Elixer strings from factory, and you have got a guitar that for its price starts to put some of the more costly guitars to shame.

Some people who have tried £800 to £1000 guitars prefer the NTL20's tone and feel……..you don't have to hurt your pocket to get a great guitar.

The NTL 20 is also available as an electro acoustic in the NTL 20F for £399.00.

It has Fishman Classic4 Sonicore pick up fitted and retains all the design and qualities of the NTL 20.

NTL50

Now imagine all of the above……… but put into the equation Rosewood back and sides, bone saddle and nut……….. and you have the £399.00 priced NTL50.

The sound doesn't jump out as immediately as from the NTL 20; but as with most Rosewood guitars, the tone is really full in the bass. It may need to to be played a bit harder to get the woods moving, but for those of us who really like to dig in with their playing this is an ideal guitar. The guitar really responds to a solid picking technique and with the full and rich bass, it still remains crisp in the mid range and trebles.

The finish on both of these guitars is second to none. They each have a high gloss finish, bound fingerboard and headstock, and with the Grover tuners, make them look and feel as if they were both much more expensive.

NTL CUSTOM

For those of you who want that something extra then the NTL CUSTOM with Solid Englemann Spruce top, Solid Rosewood back and sides, Ebony fingerboard, and Ebony bridge are in for something special.

This guitar takes the NTL series right up there. It also features Flame Maple binding on body, fingerboard and headstock and a tasteful abalone inlaid soundhole rosette.

Retaining all of the styling and design features of the NTL 20 and 50, this guitar is a must; and at £799.00 including dedicated hardcase, is a absolute bargain

Developed after a long period of research by Cort's engineering staff, the NTL Series acoustic guitars feature a downsized jumbo body that emphasizes the low midrange in the tonal spectrum. This is ideal for fingerpicking styles since it eliminates the boomy bass of standard dreadnaught and jumbo designs. What you get from the NTL is better string-to-string balance across all 6 strings and a clear and defined bass register. If balance and clarity in an acoustic are what you need in a fine acoustic guitar, then the NTL is sure to satisfy you for many years to come.

Want something with a little more character than the average dreadbought? Look no further.

Amazing value, superb build. Everything you would expect from a Cort product (The factory responsible for past favourites such as the Tanglewood SJ5, SJ10, Earth 200 & Earth 1000).

The NTL50 is one of the first Cort acoustic guitars in the UK since Tanglewood moved its production away from the Cort factory.

Any regular will know that I have been a long time fan of the Tanglewood acoustics produced in the Cort factory and this model shows exactly why.

Michael Melbourne (our acoustic specialist) demanded that these guitars be featured in the catalogue following a recent "test drive" in January 2003.

I am so impressed by this model that I may well be having one for myself!!

** RG Recommended **

This electro is the latest from Cort (As of Feb. 2004).

Thinking of a Yamaha APX? Think again!

This narrow bodied folk cutawaway guitar is compact enough to feel comfortable whilst some lovely features give a far fuller sound than an APX such as:

Solid Spruce Top

Gently rounded rosewood back to improve projection

Fishman Classic 4 EQ system

Rosewood sides

Cosmetically this instrument is also in a class above the APX with genuine Abolone round the sound hole and quality look all round.
