Impeccable playability
Scrupulous attention to detail and innovation have gone into crafting this guitar, and it has resulted in something truly extraordinary. If you're going to become immersed in tremendous sound, you'll want to play for hours. And to do that, you'll need a comfortable playing experience that minimises any strain. A triple bevel cut, as showcased on the Gold Edge's body, provides just that. This sleek feature has been applied to the armrest, cutaway, and rib rest to offer the ultimate comfort whilst playing. Perform effortlessly and sound flawless.
A body built for brilliance
Exhibiting a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, this guitar combines modern playability with a stunning vintage sound. The spruce has been treated using a process called ATV (Aged to Vintage) to enhance its tonal qualities until they are truly remarkable. Thanks to such an innovative process, you will have a tone that is bigger and more open than ever, like it has a whole history behind it. Spruce in itself is a divine tonewood that encompasses sparkling clarity and a broad dynamic range. Complementing the top are solid flamed myrtlewood back and sides, and Cort have used the highest grade possible. Myrtlewood provides warmth and astounding articulation thanks to emphasised high-mids and its glorious sonic smoothness forms the foundation for dazzling acoustic sound.
Premium quality
Cort's renowned craftsmanship flows through this guitar in abundance, as exemplified with an exquisite ebony fretboard. Demonstrating superb, high-end quality, ebony has a gorgeous smooth finish that derives from its naturally high oil content, and this provides a sublime playing experience. Not only does it look and feel divine, ebony also offers a bright and snappy attack that lends itself to speedy fretting techniques. The mahogany neck with walnut reinforcement will then take your sound one step further. Mahogany's depth and resonance is perfect for that immersive, warm feel, whilst walnut's bright tonal qualities complement such richness beautifully. Better still, walnut ages amazingly, growing warmer and softer the more you play, so you can look forward to years of sumptuous sound especially when the mix of these two tonewoods grant the neck amazing stability and durability.
Majestic performances
Whether you're in the studio or captivating your audience on stage, project every nuance of acoustic goodness with glistening clarity. L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics ensure you will never lose a touch of those natural qualities that the tonewoods provide. This preamp system sends the vibrations to your amp and PA with meticulous precision that doesn't impede your playing. Its controls are unobtrusive too thanks to their minimalistic design that don't disrupt the stunning acoustic aesthetic. But they do allow you to finetune your tone until it is completely perfect. You will be recognisable from the first strum.
