on 04/18/2012 		I for one like them overall, nice body, and headstock, very little to find fault with, but speaking as a thirty-year letterer, logo designer, and guitar designer, that old Cort logo has got to go...I know how attached people get, and especially if they've had something for a long time, but that thing has been killing you for decades, you have got to get hip. That's the one thing that stands out as wrong on this new model. It's thirty years overdue. It just screams 1971. I know many in business are dead-set against changing logos, but you can do it at any time, and as long as it's better, people welcome the change. I've seen it done scores of times successfully.
Think about how many guitars you wouldn't stand behind because of the name on the headstock, for most of us, the list is pretty long. And that sort of avoidance can come from poor decisions a company made many years prior, that might have been done by a whole different set of people.
This series is a step forward, why weigh it down with an image of past baggage? I do not say this simply to be snarky, I am seriously trying to help. I will even help design a new one.
At least look into it and do some demo-testing.
