Description

The Cort CEC7 Slimline Electro Classical, Natural is a modern nylon strung guitar for players who love classical tone but prefer a sleeker, stage ready feel. Its slim body and cutaway make it an easy crossover for electric or steel string acoustic players, while the onboard electronics let you plug in with confidence at rehearsals, open mics and gigs. Whether you are moving up from a first classical, adding a versatile nylon voice to your collection, or you simply want an elegant, comfortable instrument for performance, the CEC7 delivers a clear, balanced sound with the reassuring playability of a contemporary design.

Built with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the CEC7 offers a focused response with warm lows and articulate highs, ideal for fingerstyle, Latin grooves and chordal accompaniment. The slimline body keeps weight down and reduces feedback on stage, while the gently contoured neck and a slightly narrower nut than a traditional classical make shifts and barre work feel natural. Reliable machine heads keep tuning stable, and the natural finish lets the wood breathe and resonate. A quality onboard preamp with a handy tuner makes it easy to dial in a confident amplified sound.

For UK tuition and school ensemble use, the full size CEC7 is straightforward to teach on and comfortable for daily practice. Unplugged, the slim body is a touch quieter than a deep classical, which is helpful in shared practice spaces or late evening sessions. Plugged in, it shines for GCSE or A level performances, church bands, pit work and acoustic sets, giving you consistent tone through classroom amps and PA systems. As a value packed step up from an entry level student model, it offers more refined playability, better hardware and ready to go electronics, so you can focus on your music with less fuss and more confidence.

Features

Slimline comfort with cutaway

A thinner body and generous cutaway make the CEC7 exceptionally comfortable whether seated or standing, with easy access to higher frets for melodic playing and solos. It feels familiar to electric and steel string acoustic players, helping you transition to nylon strings without compromising technique.

Balanced spruce and mahogany voice

The classic pairing of a spruce top with mahogany back and sides gives a clear, balanced tonal character. Expect articulate trebles for melody lines, supportive mids for accompaniment and a warm, controlled low end that sits well in a mix on stage or in the studio.

Stage ready electronics with tuner

The onboard preamp and undersaddle pickup provide a dependable amplified sound, with simple controls to shape your tone and a built in tuner for quick, accurate tuning anywhere. It is a practical, gig friendly solution for rehearsals, performances and recording.

Player friendly neck and setup

A comfortable neck profile and a slightly narrower nut than a traditional classical make chords, barre shapes and position changes feel natural. The factory setup aims for a smooth action, while stable machine heads support reliable tuning day after day.

Natural finish and dependable build

The natural finish showcases the grain while allowing the instrument to resonate freely. Thoughtful construction and quality components deliver a guitar that is robust for school use, rehearsals and gigs, yet refined enough to reward focused practice at home.
