What You Need To Know
1.Does choice of body wood really make that much of a difference?
Yes indeed. As a random example, spruce is known for a bright, powerful response that mellows with age and can take years for it to be at its tonal peak. Cedar, on the other hand, is warm and particularly good for a softer fingerstyle technique right out of the box. The choice is yours.
2.Are these built in Indonesia like Cort’s solid electric range?
No, these guitars are built in Cort’s China-based facility. We’re told this is because the relative humidity at the China workshop is more suitable for building acoustic guitars.
3.What is it about the OM size that makes it so popular?
It’s been around since the 1920s, starting out as the 000 (the OM and 000 share the same body dimensions but their scale lengths are different). The OM is only 104mm (four inches) deep and 381mm (15 inches) wide, and this all adds up to a guitar that sits in the hands comfortably but still has a powerful, full voice.

BASIC INSTINCTS
The sophisticated range of Swedish-designed guitars made by .strandberg* has lured thousands of players over to the headless side. But the company's new stripped-back Boden Essential model is its strongest play yet for the hearts and minds of mainstream players
Second String
As PRS's more affordable USA-made S2 line moves into its second decade, the series gets a revamp with - at last - USA-made pickups and electronics. What took so long?
PABLO VAN DE POEL
When a band from The Netherlands describes themselves as 'raw, psychedelic Southern rock', it may take a little cognitive processing to work out what that might mean. One listen to DeWolff, however, and you will be duly transported to the 60s for some fuzzed-out rock 'n' roll
THE BERNIE MARSDEN COLLECTION
With a fabulous collection of the late Bernie Marsden's guitars, amps and other highly collectable music gear going under the auctioneer's hammer on 11 June, we were thrilled to have the chance of a sneak preview
LENNY KRAVITZ
Some 35 years since the release of his debut LP, for his 12th record, Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz is back again with equal doses of vigour and vibes, using vintage guitars and the purest valve amps

Tones Behind The Tracks
Cedric Burnside learnt at the knee of his fabled grandfather, but his latest album is a hill country blues masterclass on his own terms
