Description Cort’s new premium series of all-solid acoustic guitars, the Core Series features the very best materials, components and workmanship for instruments that will improve with age like fine wine. If the utmost sound quality is your top priority, then you need to look no further than the Core Series. The Core Essential Cort’s new Core Series acoustic guitars are designed with simplicity in mind. Our main goal was to shed away any non-essential flashy features and stay focused on what truly makes acoustic guitars great. The result is an all-solid acoustic guitar, built with Cort’s world-class craftsmanship, that looks simple yet elegant with great playability and natural acoustic sound. The new Core Series is sure to deliver the performance and tone every player has envisioned in a great acoustic guitar. All Mahogany Model Developed in accordance with recent acoustic guitar market trends, this model features not only mahogany back and sides but mahogany top as well. Although darker sounding than spruce, mahogany produces a warmer tone with a full rich mid-range. Dreadnought Cutaway Body Shape Considered the “standard” in acoustic guitar body shapes, dreadnought achieved its status based on performance. This shape delivers big volume with clarity, powerful low-end, rich midrange, and lush highs, and the smooth cutaway allows easy and comfortable access to the high frets. The dreadnought remains popular today, especially for flatpicking styles. Fishman Sonitone Installed internally without cutting out any of the woods, the Sonitone EQ system retains all the natural resonance and the pure acoustic sound that other systems can’t. The controls are simple to use as well with only Volume and Tone. Genuine Bone Nut & Saddle Crafted out of water buffalo bone for the most natural and transparent transfer of string vibrational energy into the body and neck. Ovangkol Fretboard with Mahogany Neck Known as a great overall tone wood, Ovangkol shares similar tone characteristics as Rosewood with a warm and slightly fuller midrange. The combination of Ovangkol fretboard with Mahogany neck produces a warmer mixture of balanced tone with deep sustain that is suitable for an acoustic guitar. Open Pore Finish Not only does the open pore finish enhance the resonance of the woods but it also reduces the weight of the guitar for improved playability. Exclusive Deluxe Soft-Side Case The new Deluxe Soft-Side Case is not only stylish and sleek but combines the best attributes of a hard case with the flexibility of a padded gig-bag for superb protection for the instrument as well as excellent portability.
