I bid on and won this Cort MR 710 F on Ebay. It's an acoustic electric with a solid spruce top. Pretty excited about it and hoping it will arrive in one piece and as described. :) I will post pictures when it arrives. These pics are from the auction:
Cheers.

For how much , if you don't mind quoting the price...
And can have that winning ebay link of yours , so that we can check out all the features of the guitar ourselves.
Very nice guitar and the back is one to die for.I hope it plays as well as it looks.And i am sure the fishman electronics will make it sound great through an amp.
Congrats Oktay !!
nice. i like that the headstock is the same color as the geeeetar.
That is one pretty guitar. Congratulations!

Love the grain on the back! Congrats, Oktay!

Thanks a lot guys. I'm really hoping everything works out. I did just receive shipping confirmation from UPS but it's still EBAY :)

I kind of feel bad for snatching this from the hands of an unsuspecting bidder in the last minute. But I had been silently watching the auction for hours :)

Have fun and please give a review. It looks like a nice bright sounding guitar.
I think you got it for very less...Solid spruce guitar with fishman pre amp at 100 something is an amazing deal.Now we only need to wait till its arrival in your hands...
Thanks Rahul. I am waiting for it a bit nervously as you might have noticed :) I think the reason that auction ended at that price is because the Cort brand is not very well known in the USA yet. When I did a search for the model number I found web pages in all kinds of different languages but very few English ones :) I know for a fact that it is one of the more widely available brands in my own home country along with Ibanez, Washburn and Yamaha.

Great deal!
There's a guitar store near where I live that sells corts and I never really check them out because i'm unfamiliar with the name. Wonder if anyone else owns one? and also what country makes em....hows their reputation :?:
I have heard that Cort makes some great basses.
Cort makes some very nice electrics, such as the Matt "Guitar" Murphy signature - somewhat PRS-like, but quite light in weight.
The only Cort acoustics that I've played were in Bangkok, but they were pretty nice. All had a good action and were easy to play.
The down-side is, that the climate turns the strings black and sticky (and, subsequently, your fingers).
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

I've heard nothing but good things about Cort since doing my guitar research.
I understand that they are a huge manufacturer of other makes of guitars, as well. I don't know this first hand but have heard it from music dealers.
That guitar is the nicest acoustic I've seen from them.
I hope it looks as good in person.
Congratulations!
