Cort Gold A6-Bocote NAT

The Gold series of acoustic guitars represents the cutting edge of Cort production. Instruments from this series should not miss the attention of guitarists with high demands on the quality of workmanship.

The Gold A6-Bocote NAT is an electro-acoustic guitar with a medium-sized Grand Auditorium-shaped body that offers playability and sound suitable for pick and finger technique. The instrument's soundboard is made from solid "roasted" Sitka spruce, with a top heat treatment process called Aged to Vintage by the manufacturer giving the guitar the sound and look of aged woods. The solid exotic bocote back and sides balance the clarity of the spruce top with warm bass notes (similar to rosewood, for example). The distinctive bocote grain gives the guitar a truly luxurious look.

The mahogany neck is glued to a macassar ebony fingerboard with twenty hand-rolled frets, which are easy to navigate thanks to positional dots and decorative inlay on the twelfth fret. The stability of the neck and the overall construction of the instrument is enhanced by the walnut neck bracing and the DoubleLock connection to the body, which together with a thin layer of UV lacquer promotes the natural acoustic resonance of the wood.

The fit of the strings in the ebony fingerboard and their routing through the saddle and the right bone fret ensures optimal vibration transmission to the body of the instrument and good sustain. Stability of tuning is ensured by Deluxe Vintage Gold mechanics in gold finish. The quality of the workmanship is underlined by traditional decorative elements in the form of ornate mother-of-pearl rosettes (Abalone), black body binding, ebony pegs for the fingerboard and pickguard made of imitation tortoiseshell.

The Fishman Flex M Blend electronics take advantage of a combination of under-coil piezo pickup and microphone to faithfully capture the acoustic sound. Controls in the guitar's headstock adjust the mic/piezo pickup ratio, volume, EQ, and activate phase and built-in tuner functions. The guitar comes in a high-quality case (Cort Deluxe Soft-Side Case) that combines the best features of cases with the practicality of padded gig-bags.
