Cort Core-MC Ovangkol 'Black' Modern Concert Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

The Cort Core-MC Ovangkol blends bold design with refined acoustic performance, pairing a deep, resonant tone with a striking semi-gloss black top and a comfortable cutaway shape. The solid cedar top gives this guitar an inviting, responsive character that's smooth in the highs and rich through the mids, with cedar's characteristic quick response rewarding a lighter touch while still offering plenty of dynamic headroom. Paired with solid ovangkol back and sides, the Core-MC adds low-mid fullness and a wide, expressive tonal range that suits fingerstyle and strumming equally well.

The Modern Concert body shape combines a slightly smaller waist with a sleek Venetian cutaway, making the guitar feel compact and comfortable without sacrificing depth or projection. The semi-gloss black top is applied as an ultra-thin, UV-cured finish that preserves the wood's ability to resonate freely, while discreet side-mounted controls and a Fishman Presys VT onboard preamp make amplified performance straightforward on any stage. Ideal for players who want a genuinely solid-wood acoustic-electric with a distinctive, contemporary aesthetic and no shortcuts in its construction.
