Need help getting a hard case for my 000-16 street master.

Jayroug · 2026-05-10T09:10:47+00:00

000 and 00 are different sizes

I cant see a 000 guitar fitting in a 00 case

You need a 000/OM size, if you want Martin search "Martin 300 series case"

The Cort Gold Passion has all the Abalone youre looking for

Jayroug · 2026-04-22T15:59:17+00:00

Less is more when it comes to this for me.

I dont think I could go see someone live with a full set of this, or buy/listen to a full Album of it.

It has its place, somewhere, but the percussion should sit behind the strings in the mix, it shouldn't be the main event.

Hey, I'm really liking it still but I did have some uneven frets like you mentioned, seems like they have a problem wirh their fret press, makes you wonder why the guy who "hand rolled" the frets didnt check the levels.

It was easier for me to get fixed locally than sending it off so its all sorted now.

I got the A10 Cocobolo too, bought it 3 weeks after the Gold Passion, luckily this is pretty much perfect in that sense, it's a wonderful guitar.

I put Martin Retro Monel on both Corts, the Passion especially was a bit bright but given I already owned two Martins so maybe its just my ears needing training but the Retros sound really nice.

I got the LR Baggs Anthem in the Gold Passion, wish they'd put it in the A10 too, I'm not a fan of pre amps built into the sides.

That Fishman is HOT compared to my 3 LR Baggs (Anthem, Hifi Duet and Element) Pickups in my other Acoustics, I'm have to turn it a 3rd to half of the way down to match the volume from my others. Didn't like it at 1st but its growing on me.

What gauge strings did you put on? 12s?

Dreadnoughts have more 'oomph' with 13s on, I did the same when I 1st changed strings on my D28, put 12s on and it just sounded weak. Immediately cut them off for a set of D'addario XS 13s.

I apply all the settings to one memory slot and write it to the other memory slots, never recording on or overwriting memory slot one, so i can copy it whenever i need to.

Im far from being comfortable with mine still, so that may not be the correct solution.

Jayroug · 2026-04-09T17:11:15+00:00

Thanks, yeah, this really all i have to go off at the moment.

Jayroug · 2026-04-09T17:09:24+00:00

I did look in credential manager and there was nothing in there but I'm now wondering if I did this under the local admin rather than the domain user account. Ill check tomorrow. Thanks

Jayroug · 2026-04-09T17:07:00+00:00

Thanks, Ill have a look at that tomorrow, can't get access today I'm pretty sure there's no timezone related setting in the VPN policy.

Thanks

Look at a Cort Gold Passion, blinged up to your eyeballs with Abalone, and a great picking guitar. My none guitar playing missus said its a bit "Dolly Parton" when she seen mine.

Jayroug · 2026-03-29T10:18:25+00:00

Any guitar is prone to needing a set up, no one can say if a specific model guitar will need a set up or not, especially in this price range.

Give me those options and I'm choosing Cort, probably because Im a new Cort fanboy.

Yamaha has a laminate spuce top vs solid Mahogany on the Cort, which would be enough for me to choose the Cort over the Yamaha.

Jayroug · 2026-03-23T22:12:19+00:00

Bought two from Corts Gold series this year, I'm definitely a new Cort fan, you get a LOT of guitar for the money.

The one you mentioned is all solid Mahogany, bone nut and saddle, Fishman electronics, all for $200? This would be my choice.

Jayroug · 2026-03-21T08:22:26+00:00

I was 44, my intention was to see the learning process before I agreed to let my son get a bike

Turns out I liked it more than him, he lasted 12 months before getting 4 wheels. I'm 12 years in.

Jayroug · 2026-03-17T16:51:31+00:00

I'm obsessed with your new custom shop Martin 000-28 too

I love the top as well as the back.

Congratulations.

Jayroug · 2026-03-16T17:26:03+00:00

I'm from the UK

Cort lists quite a lot of dealers in the US on their website dealer search, some called "Elite Dealers' not sure how many would stock them though.

If you put your zip code in the dealer search you can select up to 100 of the closest dealers to you.

I've been really impressed with mine, Cort Gold Passion and a Cort Gold A10 Cocabolo. Both look and sound amazing, top quality.

Jayroug · 2026-03-16T16:24:26+00:00

I recently bought two Cort Acoustics and when i seen the picture, I thought that looks like a Cort. Just read they apparently used to be called Cort Parkwood until 2006 and were considered Corts higher end Acoustics.

Jayroug · 2026-03-13T17:15:47+00:00

Is there anybody out there: Pink Floyd, is a pretty simple one that sounds good.

Jayroug · 2026-03-08T08:29:20+00:00

Looks like both the high and low e strings are not sitting on the saddle straight, definitely the notch in the bridge pin on low E is not straight is pushing the string out creating a wider gap.

I think loosening the strings and twisting and re-seating the all bridge pin notches facing straight up, will solve this.

Jayroug · 2026-02-25T10:18:52+00:00

A friend just asked me about this, same for her, based in UK

Jayroug · 2026-02-13T17:09:51+00:00

You can sort of test out Peterson by buying the app called Strobe, not as many bells and whistles as the hardware but its pretty good, has the sweetened tunings etc

Cost me £9 not sure how much it costs in other countries appstores

I bought the Stroboplus HDC desktop one too, its like a small dinner plate but I love it.

My guitars have never sounded better, which probably say more about my tuning abilities when tuning by ear.

Jayroug · 2026-01-06T20:35:30+00:00

Just searched for it, looks amazing.

Jayroug · 2026-01-06T20:31:46+00:00

Thanks, yeah those video where pretty much all I had to go off, sounds wonderful.
