Description

Cort’s AF510M is the warm-voiced sibling to the widely loved AF510, trading the usual spruce soundboard for a matching mahogany top that deepens the guitar’s tonal centre and lends it a dusky visual charm. The concert-sized outline tucks neatly against the player yet moves enough air to hold its own in a small ensemble. Because the open pore finish is feather-thin, the entire mahogany shell breathes and resonates from the very first chord, responding with gentle compression when you dig in and a sweet bloom when you back off.

Flip the instrument over and the mahogany back reveals subtle ribbon figuring that catches ambient light in soft waves. Internally, advanced X bracing is feathered toward the rims, keeping weight low while pushing extra energy toward the lower bout. The result is a voice that balances woody lows with rounded mids and a top end that stays polite—ideal for singer-songwriters who want their vocals to sit forward without battling brittle treble spikes. Sustain lingers longer than many entry-level acoustics, helped along by the scooped merbau bridge that increases break-angle at the saddle for stronger string-to-top energy transfer.

Playability is overseen by a dovetail-joined mahogany neck carrying a smooth satin finish that shrugs off sticky palms. A merbau fingerboard spans twenty medium frets on a friendly fifteen and three quarter inch radius, so chord transitions feel natural and bends clear the fret crowns without chatter. The nut spreads to a comfortable forty-three millimetres, giving beginners welcome room for clean finger placements while still feeling familiar to seasoned strummers. Dual-action truss adjustment lives just inside the sound-hole, making seasonal tweaks quick and unobtrusive.

Hardware keeps maintenance simple. Chrome die-cast tuners glide in half-turns and hold pitch through generous capo positions, while composite nut and saddle materials resist the grooved wear that can plague softer plastics. Factory-installed coated phosphor bronze strings stay bright for weeks of practice, stretching the time between the first setup and the first restring. Lightweight yet sturdy, the AF510M tips the scales a little over three kilos, making it an easy carry to lessons, camp-fire jams or the local open-mic night.
