Gold-D8-NAT Gold Series Acoustic guitar, Natural, Cort

Description:

Gold-D8-WCASE-NAT Gold Series Acoustic Guitar, natural, with Case, Cort

The hallmark of Cort’s Gold series is the Aged to Vintage (ATV) treatment that allows the Grade A+ solid Sitka spruce top to cure and open up more over time. ATV acts as a torrefaction process, giving the Gold-D8 a big, open tone that’s bright, yet natural with a strong and warm midrange that’s reinforced by the solid Pau Ferro back and sides. A sonically enhanced UV finish protects both the instrument and tonal quality, and is now available in a new Light Burst color option in addition to Natural Gloss.

Aged Top.
A vintage instrument is the holy grail of acoustic guitar tone. The wood on the top cures and opens up more over time. This unleashes a tonal quality that is missing in new instruments — until now. Using a special process that we call ATV (Aged To Vintage) we treat the solid sitka spruce top to give it that big and open tone of a decades-old, highly-sought-after acoustic. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone to you right out of the box.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top.
Spruce wood provides a perfect balance of strength and flexibility, which makes it the best choice for the top deck of an acoustic guitar. The universal sound character of spruce is great for a variety of musical genres and playing styles.

Solid Pau Ferro Back and Sides.
Pau Ferro, also known as Morado, Santos Rosewood or Bolivian Rosewood boasts many of the qualities that are highly regarded in tonewood that is close to Indian Rosewood. It's stable, abrasion resistant, hard, attractive, exotic and has good impression strength parallel to the grain.

DoubleLock Neck Joint.
The connection between the neck and the guitar body is one of the key factors for the excellent sound of the instrument. Guitars of the Gold series have a traditional dovetail-type neck joint, but reinforced with a bolt. This double joint maximizes sound transfer and enhances resonance.

Walnut Reinforced Neck.
The neck on the Gold has been reinforced for added rigidity and stability using two special inserts. This is constructed with two pieces of walnut installed to add stability while still retaining the natural properties of wood to further upgrade the Gold.

Ebony Bridge Pins.
The high density of Ebony wood keeps the fundamental acoustic sound focused and tight with greater sonic projection than plastic, enhancing the transfer of the string vibrations throughout the soundboard top, body and the neck.

Ebony Fingerboard.
There are many types of woods that are used for fingerboard but no other compares to the jet-black beauty and slick smoothness of Ebony.

Bone Saddles.
The upper and lower sills are made of Asian buffalo bone for the most natural and transparent transmission of the vibration energy of the strings to the body and neck.

UV coating.
The high-tech coating obtained with the help of ultraviolet radiation is characterized by high strength and scratch resistance. Thin and almost weightless, it improves the natural acoustic resonance of the instrument for its rich and full sound.

Exclusive Case.
The new Cort Deluxe case is not only stylish and elegant, but also combines the best qualities of a hard case with the flexibility of a soft one for excellent tool protection and portability.
