  Good Points: Top notch electronics, with piezo and condenser mic blending, for amped up sound.
  Nice, warm yet bright acoustic tone.
  Very good build quality and a very nice neck to play.

  
  

  Bad Points: Rather bland looking, overall. The spruce top could have used a bit more help, looks wise. Could use a scratchplate too.

  
  

  General comments: A dreadnought shape, with venetian cutaway, this Cort MR-AS is a very professional instrument for a low price tag. The looks lack the wow-factor. That's mainly down the bland spruce top, that isn't enlivened by the Abalone soundhole rosette or the black & white soundboard binding. The back, neck and head look great but the big white soundboard is anaemic.
  I was looking for a guitar that was a good acoustic and had the electronics to keep the sound natural, through an amp. The MR-AS was the answer. No doubt about that.
  In comparison, I bought the MR-AS a couple of months after I had got a Crafter Keywest dreadnought. Visually the Crafter blows this away. Acoustically they are both great, I slightly prefer the Crafter. Amped up, it's the Cort's turn to kick butt. The Crafter's piezo, although very good, can't compete against the piezo/mic mix of the MR-AS.
  Specs: Solid spruce top. Solid mahogany back. Laminated mahogany sides.
  Mahogany neck. Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Grover
  machineheads, with ebony buttons. Fishman Prefix Stereo
  Blender pre-amp, controlling piezo and condenser mic.
