AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Cort Gold-A8 ‘Light Burst’ is a refined, performance-ready acoustic electric guitar built for players who demand premium tone, responsiveness, and versatility. Featuring a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top treated with Cort’s Aged to Vintage (ATV) process, the Gold-A8 delivers an open, mature sound with the warmth and depth of a well-played vintage instrument from the very first strum. Its Auditorium cutaway body offers a balanced voice that suits everything from fingerstyle detail to confident strumming, making it a true all-rounder.
Complementing the spruce top are solid Pau Ferro back and sides, adding clarity, articulation, and a rich harmonic complexity similar to Indian rosewood. The walnut-reinforced mahogany neck provides excellent stability, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge ensure a smooth playing feel and strong note definition. Equipped with the Fishman Flex Blend system, the Gold-A8 excels on stage and in the studio, offering natural amplified tone with precise control. Finished in a lightweight sonically enhanced UV gloss and supplied with a deluxe soft case, this is a professional-grade instrument designed to inspire.
