(Incidentally, as a thoughtful bonus the guitar comes with a second saddle, made of Tusq, which some players find offers enhanced sustain and clarity.) The medium-girth neck has a C-shaped profile that felt very comfortable in all regions when I played barre chords and single notes alike. The slots on the bone nut and saddle, on the other hand, did not need much in the way of adjustment. Out of the box, the action on our MR710F review guitar was a hair high, but this could easily be addressed by a good guitar tech. Needless to say, these minor imperfections come as no big surprise on a guitar at this price and do not When held at certain angles, an orange-peel effect was apparent here and there on the body’s gloss finish the nut wasn’t quite as wide as the neck on the bass side and the bridge could have been more carefully shaped and sanded. Overall, the MR710F is a solidly built guitar, but its craftsmanship could have been better. Micro-dot position markers stud the fingerboard, and the headstock is embellished with the Cort logo in motherof- pearl, along with a triangles-anddiamond motif. An oldfashioned tortoise-style pickguard is a nice touch here, too.

The top is wrapped with a fine brownwhite- brown border, and a ring of abalone, along with a series of concentric black-andwhite rings, encircles the soundhole. The fingerboard and body are trimmed with single-ply ivoroid binding, echoed in the heel cap. Visually, the MR710F is not particularly distinctive but it is conventionally handsome. The laminated back and sides and three-piece neck are made from a luminous selection of mahogany, but the rosewood used for the fingerboard and bridge is a tepid brown. Our review model sports a particularly attractive example, with a warm reddish hue and fine grains punctuated by occasional bearclaw figuring.
The MR710F boasts the sort of solid Sitka soundboard usually reserved for more costly guitars.
