I've owned a Cort parlor (I believe it's called the Earth 800) for about 3 years.
I love it.
The solid cedar top & smaller body produces a good amount of volume.
Mine's been very stable.Other than the initial setup to slightly lower the action to suit my preferences,it's required no other maintenance.
& I've had mine out in all sorts of climate.
So far, it's held up very well.
