With the Gold Series, Cort introduces an all-solid acoustic guitar series with thermally treated (“torrified”) tops and bracing. Cort calls this process “Aged To Vintage”, which imitates the ageing process of the top over the decades. Right from the start, you get that wonderfully full, overtone-rich and balanced sound that you know from old, well-recorded instruments. The very thin UV varnish of the Gold Series supports the excellent vibration characteristics of the guitar. In addition, the “Doublelock Neckjoint” was developed as a further important element for the best possible sound, which improves vibration transmission by means of additional bolting of the neck to the body.

The hallmark of Cort’s Gold series is the Aged to Vintage (ATV) treatment that cures the Sitka spruce top to deliver the full and open tone of a vintage guitar, from day one. ATV acts as a torrefaction process, giving the Gold models a large, open tone that’s bright, yet natural with a strong and warm midrange that’s reinforced by the solid mahogany back and sides. A sonically enhanced UV finish protects both the instrument and tonal quality. And Fishman’s Flex Blend pickup system offers a wide range of sonic control along with a built-in tuner.
