Cort has been making guitars for over 50 years and has something to offer players of all levels; from the student level AD880 acoustics to professional level Frank Gambale Signature Cort, and a whole lot more in between.
If you’re on the hunt for something special, that will immediately grab the audience’s attention when you’re on stage, Cort has something for you. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the unusual and extraordinary guitars that Cort has on offer.
Travel guitars have dramatically increased in popularity over the past few years. When the first companies made these mini guitars, the focus was on portability instead of tone. The Cort AD Mini, with its Mahogany back and sides is both portable and sounds great.
How many black, open pore acoustic guitars have you seen in your life? We’re going to take a bet and say not many. Sure, black high-gloss finishes are commonplace, there are very few mat, open pore, black acoustic guitars available. The Mahogany back, sides, and top of the AF give it a unique grain and make it an ideal guitar for fingerstyle and country players.
Are you into the retro look? Do you want a guitar that delivers on the luxury and tone of modern building techniques, but stylistically looks like it comes from a bygone era? Then you should try out a Cort CJ Retro VSM Acoustic-Electric guitar. The spruce top with mahogany back and sides gives the guitar a classic tone, while the Fishman pickup ensures that you are not saddled with noisy, poorly insulated electronics.
The body of the Classic TC SBN was designed by the legendary Hugh Manson. At first glance, the guitar might look unusual for the sake of being different, but the odd shape was specifically designed to offer the player better ergonomics. Once you play a Classic TC, you might find it tough to go back to playing a guitar without ergonomics. Now you can get the styling of a custom guitar, without breaking the bank.
With its Blue Coral Burst finish the Cort GA-QF is sure to grab the attention of your audience. The figured maple top not only looks luxurious but has a bright, clean tone. The Fishman Isys T pickup ensures that when the guitar is plugged in, it sounds as good as it looks.
If you prefer lower, darker sounds, but don’t want to move to play the bass, what can you do? You could either drop tune your guitar and play with floppy tension, or you can play a purpose-built baritone guitar. With the Cort NDX-Baritone, you can play in those lower registers, and never need to worry about your tension or your intonation.
Most acoustic guitars use either a spruce or a cedar top. In modern times mahogany as also become a favourite tonewood for tops. Cort loves to play with various tonewoods to create something special, and the SFX-AB does not disappoint. The ash burl top on this guitar gives it an almost hypnotic grain pattern and is sure to set your guitar apart from the crowd. And best of all, the ash burl top has a unique tone that most fingerstyle players and soloists would love.
If you thought that the ash burl top on the AB was special, then you’ll love the SFX-DAO, which as the name implies, has a dao top. Tonally dao is similar to mahogany, but it tends to be more pronounced in the high-mid range, giving the guitar a tone unto itself. If you really want a guitar that will set yourself apart, ask yourself how people you know with a dao top guitar.
Most classical guitars all look the same. They either have mahogany or rosewood back and sides and most have a cedar top. And while there is nothing wrong with this combination (after all, if it was a bad combo, not many guitar makers would use it), sometimes it’s nice to have something different. The Sunset NY Black Classical Electric is the ideal instrument for any guitarist who wants to practice relatively quietly but needs to be amplified on stage.
