Cort Gold A8

The Cort Gold A8 Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is a masterpiece designed for musicians who seek refined tone and superior craftsmanship. With a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top that mimics the sound of aged wood, the Gold A8 offers a resonant, open tone right out of the case. Paired with solid pau ferro back and sides, the guitar delivers a balanced and versatile sound profile, perfect for any genre.

Its reinforced mahogany neck, featuring two walnut inserts, ensures long-term stability and resistance to warping while preserving the wood’s natural resonance. The hand-rolled fret edges and smooth rosewood fingerboard make for an effortlessly comfortable playing experience.

The Fishman Flex Blend System takes the Gold A8 to the next level, allowing you to shape your plugged-in tone with ease. Blend between the undersaddle pickup and condenser mic for rich, natural sound. With a vintage-tinted gloss finish, herringbone purfling, and gold hardware, the Gold A8 embodies classic elegance with modern playability.
