Cort Modern Black Electro Acoustic - You have to look!
Wow...just simply...WOW!
When I first heard about this guitar I was excited, and when it arrived I was not disappointed, it really is something very special. Below my description is just some of the words of wisdom from Cort themselves, but there is far more on the Cort website, so I've dropped the URL at the bottom.
OK well obviously it does not have a traditional top sound hole, but it has two sound "ports" on the top/side, directing the full tonal range to the player, and immediately this sounds different form any other acoustic.
The most impressive thing we found was the sound when amplified via the onboard Fishman system.Due to the bridge and piezo being mounted on a full top, without a sound hole, it responds differently, very differently!
It is clear, concise and accurate, with fantastic attack. Hard to put into words, but it is like a "hifi" version of a standard electro.
I love it and I am sure many players out there will too. The build and detail is superb as detailed on the Cort website, and I feel at this price it is incredible for and working/recording artist.
OK....over to Cort ......
The Cort Modern Black boldly balances tradition and innovation to bring you an unforgettable playing experience. Passionately crafted with premium materials and components, the sound of Cort Modern Black will captivate you from the first notes you play. Cort Modern Black — it re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can sound and feel.
Amazing acoustic tone begins with superior tonewoods from Cort. The Modern Black combines a European spruce top with mahogany back and sides, a timeless recipe for warm lows, rich and complex mids, and detailed highs. Complete with a reinforced walnut neck, and ebony fretboard, bridge, and pins, the Modern Black is a superb representation of the luthier’s art with non-traditional character.
Inspired by the player-favorite Grand Concert body shape, the Modern Concert body shape gives the Modern Black a comfortably compact feel without sacrificing sonic complexity. With richer, more robust tone than you’d expect from a smaller body, Modern Concert re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can sound.
Instead of a soundhole in the top, the innovative design of the Modern Black incorporates dual side-positioned sound ports. With the sound directed towards your ears, you’ll be able to hear every nuance of your technique, even when playing softly. Not only do these non-traditional soundholes make a bold visual statement, they allow the European spruce top to vibrate more naturally for richer acoustic tone. And your audience with be rewarded with balanced, room-filling acoustic tone, whether they’re sitting in front of you or off to the side.
