Cort CJ Retro VSM

Good points first

This is a well made jumbo acoustic guitar with a big ringing sound whilst still being nuanced throughout it’s full range. I love the retro styling, it’s very 60s and reminiscent of the guitars played by the Beatles. When I received it the action was very high and it was unplayable, so I needed to pay for a setup, after which the guitar just came alive and plays beautifully. Also the wiring had been pulled about at some point so that needed sorting. One last gripe, on inspection there was a rather large cube of foam inside the guitar. I had to downtune and squeeze it out of the soundhole. It turned out to be close to the size of my head. Anybody had foam in their guitars or know why this was included? All said, I don’t mind spending a bit more on a guitar to get it up the scratch. Now it is the guitar I was expecting when I bought it and provides the sound I imagined.
