AD810
The Cort AD810 is Southeast Asia's beginner acoustic kingpin — spruce top with mahogany-pattern back/sides, dreadnought body, at a price point that embarrasses Yamaha F310 in many markets. Korean-engineered, Indonesian-built, with QC that shouldn't exist at this price. The budget alternative beginners in Thailand, Indonesia, and Philippines gravitate toward.
