The great feature of Cort’s Gold series is the "aged to vintage" treatment that cures the Sitka spruce top to deliver the full and open tone of a vintage guitar, from day one. This acts as a torrefaction process, giving the Gold-A8 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, this one is finished in natural gloss. Fishman’s sophisticated modern design and innovative technical engineering, the Fishman® Flex Blend System offers a wide range of sonic control along with a built-in tuner.
The design is aimed at all players, pickers and strummers. This top end electro is right up there and easily competes with those major brands selling over £2k, you need to play and hear this one to believe it.
