El sello distintivo de la serie Gold de Cort es el tratamiento Añejado a Antiguo (Aged to Vintage) (ATV) que permite que la tapa sólida de Abeto Sitka de Grado A+ se cure y se abra más con el tiempo. El ATV actúa como un proceso de torrefacción, dándole a la Gold-A8 un tono grande y abierto que es brillante, pero natural con un rango de medios cálido y fuerte que es reforzado por el Pau Ferro sólido en la parte posterior y los lados. Un acabado UV sónicamente mejorado protege tanto el instrumento como la calidad tonal, y ahora está disponible en una nueva opción de color Burst claro además de Natural brillante. Y el diseño moderno sofisticado y la ingeniería técnica innovadora de Fishman, el sistema Fish Blend Flex ofrece un amplio rango de control sónico junto con un afinador incorporado.
AGED TO VINTAGE TOP
A vintage instrument is the holy grail of acoustic guitar tone. The wood on the top cures and opens up more over time. This unleashes a tonal quality that is missing in new instruments — until now. Using a special process that we call ATV (Aged To Vintage) we treat the solid sitka spruce top to give it that big and open tone of a decades-old, highly-sought-after acoustic. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone to you right out of the box.
SOLID SITKA SPRUCE TOP
Featuring superior strength and dense grains along with the flexibility to resonate freely, the premium grade solid Sitka spruce top on the Gold Series is ideal for virtually any musical genre with a brilliant and clear high-end, warm and rich midrange, and a deep but tight low-end for a beautifully balanced sound.
SOLID PAU FERRO BACK AND SIDES
Pau Ferro, also known as Morado, Santos Rosewood or Bolivian Rosewood boasts many of the qualities that are highly regarded in tonewood that is close to Indian Rosewood. It’s stable, abrasion resistant, hard, attractive, exotic and has good impression strength parallel to the grain.
FISHMAN® FLEX BLEND SYSTEM
With a 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. Volume, Tone, Phase, Blend and Tuner functions are all available from three knobs and the tuner display. You can also adjust the Tone knob to best suit fingerpicking or strumming techniques without feedback issues and other sonic anomalies while delivering the most natural acoustic sound to your amplification system.
DOUBLELOCK NECK JOINT
The connection between a guitar’s neck and body is another key factor for great sound. On the Gold, we started with a tight fitting traditional dovetail neck joint. We then reinforced it by adding a bolt. This DoubleLock neck joint maximizes the transfer of tone and enhances resonance on the Gold.
WALNUT REINFORCED NECK
The neck on the Gold has been reinforced for added rigidity and stability using two special inserts. This is constructed with two pieces of walnut installed to add stability while still retaining the natural properties of wood to further upgrade the Gold.
EBONY FINGERBOARD
There are many types of woods that are used for fingerboard but no other compares to the jet-black beauty and slick smoothness of Ebony.
EBONY BRIDGE PINS
The high density of Ebony wood keeps the fundamental acoustic sound focused and tight with greater sonic projection than plastic, enhancing the transfer of the string vibrations throughout the soundboard top, body and the neck.
GENUINE BONE NUT & SADDLE
For the most natural and organic sound and feel, there is nothing quite like genuine bone for the saddle and the nut, two critical contact points for the strings to vibrate freely and transfer that energy into the woods of the guitar.
SONICALLY ENHANCED UV FINISH
The high-tech finish is strong and resistant to scratches while being lightweight to improve the natural acoustic resonance of the body for a full-bodied and rich tone.
