Cort Gold Series
The Gold Series guitars use Cort's Aged to Vintage (ATV) treatment that allows the solid sitka spruce top to cure and open up more over time. ATV acts as torrefication--a heating process that gives the new Cort Gold the big, open tone of a decades-old acoustic guitar. But modern touches also include a scalloped X-bracing to lighten the guitar's weight and free up the top to vibrate louder.

The Cort Gold Series' UV finish is thinner and less constrictive on the instrument. It's a glossy finish that not only ensures that the bold tone of the Gold comes through, but also adds to the instrument's natural beauty. The Gold Series has a tight fitting traditional dovetail neck joint reinforced with a bolt that maximizes the transfer of tone and enhances resonance.

There are two models in the Cort Gold Series: the Gold-D6 NAT dreadnought and the Gold-O6 NAT orchestra model. Both models have solid mahogany back and sides that are bound with black, triple-ply purfling.

The rosewood bridge has ebony pins, and the saddle and nut are genuine bone. The mahogany neck has walnut reinforcements and the fingerboard is also rosewood with a rounded edge. Deluxe vintage gold tuners on the black headstock complete the Gold's look.

With soft-side case, the Gold-D6 or O6 each sell for $799 MSRP. For more about it, check out: gold.cortguitars.com.
