Oh alright! Thanks for the update brother!
Bro...Did you used it?How is it?
Bajoo its 19 k after discount
nice playing! the salesperson handed me one of these at my local guitar store and it was love at first strum. looked good, sounded good but most importantly it was easier to play than other acoustic guitars I've owned or tried and at a reasonable price. I'm impressed by Cort guitars.
I completely relate to this Bruce! That's very similar to my first experience as well! Acoustic Guitars by Cort are really underrated in my opinion.
I am an acute Cort Guitar lover , Have three of them G-300 Pro, CR-250 and X-500 Etched, They are real value for money,
That's a pretty good collection right there!!
Nicely done Ishaan.
You are a fantastic player as well.
Keep doing the good work.
ALL THE BEST!!!!
Thankyou! Means a lot!

Loved the cam quality, setup, and beautiful review buddy❤
Thanks a lot brother!
Being that between them and Samick(Silvertone) build the largest part of the guitars in the world they should be good
Could you please make a demo vedio for how to use the equaliser?
Thank you.... I have a cort 500e acoustic guitar and Nux optima Air pedal. All the tone selections for the IR or Amp for the pedal gives a screeching sound.. Are there some different settings to be done on pedal for such guitars. Please advise if possible.
Well I was finding a detailed review of this guitar and here I found this video perfect for this purpose. But one thing I want to ask how is the action of the guitar?
Glad to know that you found this review useful. :) And like most guitars, this guitar also has a truss rod which can be used to adjust the action.
Great man, keep up the good work.. !
Thanks Bhai!!
Hi! Do you know anything about yamaha fg820? If you do, which one do you think is better?
Your playing is nice
Thankyou brother!!
Thanks a lot for the review. Among this one, the Cort MR600F and the Cort Earth 100F, which one would you recommend me and why?
MR500E vs MR600F which is better? Is there difference in quality of sounds between them?
Hello brother......can u plzzz tell me which guitar should I buy .....cort Mr500e or Fender FA-125CE...bth the guitars have the same price ....soo plzz help me....in ur opinion which one would u buy nd why?? Plzz tell...will be very gr8ful to u bro
Thank you so much brother!! I am really confused about this guitar,you clear all my doubt..great work,i really appreciate your work👍👏👏
Glad this video was of some help to you! :)
What about Yamaha fgx 800c I'm planning to buy that ...can you please share your opinions...by the way thanks for this useful video
5:09 wow. Very nice and soothing😃😃😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. One question have you played cort mr600f ? I’m thinking to buy that guitar. What are you views on it😃
Hey brother! I haven't had the chance to play the MR600F but from the specs it looks pretty similar to MR500F with a very considerable difference of having a Fishman pickup in the 600F. Which is a pretty good upgrade. So I don't see any reason why that guitar will not be a good purchase.
Bro. I am eying on this guitar. It looks stunning with the brown burst. But before I make a decision. Just want to know. Should I go for this or mr710f. Both have similar specifications. So please guide. Also what is your genuine feedback on mr500e
bro what is the different with cort ad880 ?
Good job man !!!!
Thankyou brother!
Difference with 880ce is just the solid top right..the back n side are still no solid..
Well 880ce being on the higher end of the AD series, there has been more detailing put into the guitar and even few better parts (for example: the Machine Heads on the headstock). Whereas the MR500e is the entry level guitar in the MR series, so compared to the 880ce you might notice that the build is relatively much more simpler but you do get a solid spruce top. In short the 880ce is a guitar which has more cosmetic and structural features which might add to the overall tone of the guitar but all that might not be enough considering the long term tonal and structural benefits of the solid top on 500e.
P.S. - I have played both the guitars and I prefer the MR500e (No personal bias though ;) )
Ishaan Vashishta thx for the info..im actually using 880 now..👍🏻
Sir who is better Yamaha fsx315c or Cort mr500e ?
Is the nut and saddle plastic or nubone or bone??????
Sir can you suggest me the best guitar under 15000. Please 🙏
Is it easy to play ? How far is the action ?
wow. that was great review and tutorial. can you please make tutorial on how you got that loop ? are you using any looper ?
Hey Jitendra, I'm glad you liked it. And I already have had plans to make a video on loopers and looping in general. Its just that because of some issues the production has been halted for a while. So do subscribe and stay tuned and I'll come up with a lot more of such useful content.
@@IshaanVashishta95 great. Thank you👍
Hi can u suggest Ibanaz PF 17ece or this one
Hey good review... im looking for a mid range guitar, good to play in church, the place is not too big... is this MR500E a good choice?
@Andrew Ashish Lall why ? does MR 600 sound better ?
Hello, which one would be better between this one and the Yamaha fgx800c (they're around the same price in my country, just 10€ of difference)? Many thanks in advance :)
Hey Bei! Hope you're doing well and I apologise for the late response. If you're still looking for a guitar and if you're still looking for an answer to this question then let me know and we can discuss and finalize a good guitar for you! Take care!
Does it have smaller gap between fretboard and strings for the ease of sore fingertips ?
The action can be setup from the truss rod. So you can set it up as per your preference.
How did they sound compare to Takamine ED1NC ?
Hi Iqbal, the Takamine ED1NC is a much more pricier guitar with much better wood and parts being put into it. So I don't think it would be fair to compare the ED1NC to the MR500e. A Taylor or a Martin guitar might be a better option to compare it with if that is the price range you are looking at.
I'm confused between mr500e and Fender CD60S(acoustic one, not cut away electro acoustic). Can you suggest which one should I go for ?
Hey Priyanshu, both of these are very good guitars and it would depend on what exactly are you planning to use the guitar for. In a broader sense considering that the MR500e is an electro acoustic guitar with just a slightly higher price than cd60s it might end up being more useful if you plan on performing with it. And the Fender being a very good guitar in it's own right will also be sufficient for practices and recording sessions. Email me or DM on my instagram profile and maybe we can discuss properly which would be a more suitable guitar for you.
Can you suggest between Cort AD810 and Yamaha F370? Asking as a beginner. Thanks
Hey brother! Both the guitars are really great. You can go with any of those and you won't be disappointed. If at all possible then you can go to your local guitar store keeping in mind the covid situation and social distancing then go and play both the guitars and then pick the one which you feel is more comfortable. And if you can't go and check by yourself then maybe just go with the Yamaha!

Confused with this and the Earth Mini Adirondack F. Any thoughts?
Hey Jathniel! As good as both of these guitars are, it's difficult to compare them as they don't necessarily fit in the same comparison category. While MR500e is a full sized Solid Top guitar with a 3-band EQ on the body itself and a jack to just plug it into a sound system and perform right away. The Earth Mini F Adirondack is a 3/4 scale guitar with a usb connectivity which might make it suitable for recording even directly in your phone, but in it's essence it is what it is, a very good quality travel guitar not exactly intended for the purpose of playing concerts.
Then again a lot of it depends on how you plan to use a guitar. So I would suggest you figure out what exactly is your requirement from your guitar and then it would make it a lot easier to choose between the 2 guitars. Contact me directly if you need any more help.
Dude i am confused b/w Fender FA-125Ce and this. Please tell me which one should i go for.
Hey! The FA125CE is a pretty recent model which Fender released as part of their affordable/alternative series so I haven't had the chance to play it yet so can't really comment on that guitar in detail. Although based on the reviews and specs I have seen it has Fishman pickups which is a big plus point. The only major advantage the MR500E has over the FA125CE is the fact that the MR has a solid Spruce top and FA has a laminated Spruce top. So in the long run the MR will be able to give you a better natural acoustic sound. And one point which I always suggest people to check when it comes to Fender guitars is to check the neck width, whether you find it comfortable or not. Because as far as this Cort guitar is concerned I can vouch for the fact that it has a really comfortable thin neck profile.
If I find a good review I shall update the link here so that you can check it out and decided for yourself.
Bro which is better Cort Ad890 mbcf or cort mr500e?
Reply me please?
Hey! Both of those models are pretty good and have similar design and construction. The only and actually the biggest difference between them is that MR500e is a Solid Top guitar. So I would always prefer that.
Which is more comfortable for fingerstyle bro🤩?.... Fender FA125ce or Cort mr500e?
Well the fretboard for the FA125ce is wider which is similar to a classical guitar so you'll have more space to hold different chords without your fingers fighting for space. But I guess it's also a matter of personal preference. Because of the slimmer neck profile of the MR500e I find it really comfortable to play even finger style kind of pieces.
Thanks bro that helps 🥰
What are the chords you use?
I just want solid top guitar
So with which one should i go for
Fender cd60s. Or this one
Plz reply
Both of them are very good guitars. Both are capable of delivering very good sound and feel as well. Before going for any of them few mentionable things to check which suit you would be:
1. The neck types/size on both is different. Cort has a thinner and smaller profile whereas Fender has a thicker and wider neck. Try both the guitars and see which one suits you better.
2. There's a pretty considerable difference between the prices of Cort MR500e and Fender CD60s.
3. Cort has it's own electronics whereas Fender has Fishmen pickups. That's a plus for Fender.
Hope this helps a little.
Same question bro
Bro can you tell about the pickup is it good for live and studio purposes and how it compares with the fa125ce fender
The pickup is pretty responsive and the Guitar has a 3 band EQ so you can get a pretty wide range of tone. Personally I like the sound while performing live although while recording I do have to equilize the track to make it sound the way I prefer.
The FA125CE is a pretty recent model and I haven't got the chance to play is yet. But it has a Fishman pickup so that is always a better pickup. What I would really suggest you is to also check which neck you would prefer. Fenders usually have a slightly wider neck and the Cort has a thinner neck.
@@IshaanVashishta95 and how you compare the natural sound of cort from fender cd models??
Which guitar sounds bright: Cort MR 500 e, Cort MR 600f,Cort MR 710f or Cort AD880CE?
Hi Karthikeya, this is a very subjective thing. What might sound bright to you might not be the 'bright' tone which another guitarist might be looking for. Another thing to note is that the gauge of your strings is also a huge factor which makes your tone. So my suggestion would be to look for reviews done by a single channel so that you get a uniform idea and can compare the tones and then decide.
@@IshaanVashishta95 what is the difference between mr500e and mr710f. While both have the same specifications.

Hi! Is it the cutaway design model? I am new to this what does cutaway do? Does it also come without cutaway design?
Hey! Yes this is a cutaway design. A cutaway is basically the cut in the shape where the fretboard meets the body. It makes it easier to reach the higher frets of the fretboard. It's really helpful if you are into soloing and your playing utilises the higher notes.
As far as I know this model comes only in cutaway design but you can check the AD series of Cort if you are looking for something similar to this Guitar.
@ishan vashistha Thank you! Makes sense. I ended up buying Epiphone DR100 without the cutaway/electro acoustic.
Hey can u help me I'm confused which guitar(Electro-acoustic) to purchase.
I have a budget of nearly 15k.
Hey! I'd be glad to help you out. DM me at @ishaan_vashishta on Instagram or my FB page. Well discuss this there.
Is it a mat finish ? I do not like glossy
Hi Santu, as mentioned on their website this model comes in 3 finishes. All 3 have a gloss top.
Which one will be a better option between this guitar and fender CD 60sce?🌸
Hi Kushagra, well both the guitars are very good in their own terms. But I would suggest you finalize your budget first as both of the guitars have quite a big difference in their price point. If you finalize that then it's a pretty straight forward choice!!
Would you like to tell me which Looper was you using for looping the melodies
I use the inbuilt Looper in the Zoom G1on processor. It's a single channel looper. Good enough for basic layering.
bro, which audio interface do you use?
Hi Aman, I use an M-Audio - M-Track 2x2c.
@@IshaanVashishta95 oh thanks for the info, I use focusrite Scarlett solo 3rd gen. I hope the DI signal sounds the same with my interface as well.
@@IshaanVashishta95 try recording di signal on the left and the microphone sound in the right channel. It will help you in the stereo widening.
That indeed is a very good technique Aman! And I do use that while recording guitars. Only for this review because I had a looper added so kept the DI and Mic inputs a little differently.
I have used this guitar with a Scarlett Solo and it sounds pretty much the same.
Bro 19000 ka hai
That's true. This video has been up for quite some time now and the price I mentioned in the video is how much it was retailing for at that time. Overtime the prices are bound to increase specially when certain models start performing better in the market. Thanks for the update brother.
@@IshaanVashishta95 so bro what u recommend for fingerstlye , dreadnought or concert body ??
@@IshaanVashishta95 bro i want to buy it online, i am a beginner please is there any way to buy this same one with same colour?
