Cort OC8 Gold Nylon
The Cort OC8 Nylon has always intrigued me: OM shape with X-bracing but sold as a "modern classical guitar" which suggests that apart from the unusual shape/size and bracing it has been built with similar requirements as a standard classical guitar (maybe even "at the limit of implosion" ).
I've never been able to try one and the available videos don't give a very good idea of its true acoustic voice in terms of quality and esp. quantity. (There's 1 recording by of Dyens' Fuoco by Korean virtuoso "fingerstylish" that could have given a good idea, but it's of the rather horrible UST-only output from the builtin pickup...) Is anyone here in a position to compare it to a classical guitar of similar (build) quality and comparable woods?

The photos that I see of the Cort OC8 Nylon remind me somewhat of the Yamaha NTX series of guitars. Both also have 48 mm nut width.

But the NTX are described as thinline; I didn't get the impression that's the case with the Cort.
