Compact body with balanced tone
The Cort AF510E features a concert-sized body that offers a more intimate playing experience compared to larger dreadnought designs. This smaller shape produces a focused sound with an emphasis on the midrange and crisp, clear highs. It’s ideal for fingerpicking and melodic lead work, giving you greater note definition and articulation. The reduced size also makes it easier to handle - perfect if you're after a lightweight acoustic that you can take anywhere. Despite its compact form, the AF510E projects well and holds its own in both solo and group settings.
Spruce and mahogany tonewood pairing
With a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the Cort AF510E delivers a versatile, well-rounded sound. Spruce is one of the most popular tonewoods for acoustic guitar tops due to its excellent balance of strength and flexibility. It provides dynamic range and bright, clear tones that respond well to a variety of playing styles. Mahogany, used for both the back and sides as well as the neck, complements this with warmth and strong midrange projection. This classic tonewood combination gives the AF510E a clear, expressive voice suitable for a wide range of genres.
Built-in electronics for live and recording
Equipped with the Cort CE304T preamp system, the AF510E is ready to plug in and perform. This reliable onboard pickup and preamp combo includes a built-in tuner, 3-band EQ, and volume control, giving you the tools to shape your tone and stay in tune with ease. From performing on stage to laying down tracks at home, the electronics provide consistent, natural-sounding amplification. This added functionality makes the AF510E more than just a practice guitar—it’s a versatile instrument that adapts easily to your playing environment.
Comfortable neck and durable hardware
Playability is a standout feature of the AF510E, thanks to its smooth C-shaped neck profile and well-finished Merbau fingerboard. The neck sits comfortably in the hand and provides easy access across the entire 20-fret range. A dual-action truss rod allows for precise neck adjustment, helping you maintain optimal setup as conditions change. The guitar also features die-cast tuning machines for stable tuning, coated strings for extended life, and a PPS nut and saddle for enhanced tonal transfer. Each detail is designed to support reliable, everyday performance with minimal fuss.
