Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Cort Masterpiece Series Modern Burst is a bold reimagining of what a compact acoustic guitar can be—both in sound and aesthetics. Crafted from premium tonewoods, this guitar features a European spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, delivering a warm, complex tonal palette with exceptional balance and clarity. The reinforced walnut neck, ebony fretboard, and ebony bridge further enhance resonance and playability, while dual side-positioned sound ports offer a unique auditory experience by directing the sound toward the player’s ears.
Built for serious performers, the Modern Burst boasts a custom Modern Concert body shape that combines comfort with surprising projection. Additional ergonomic enhancements such as a beveled armrest, rolled fret edges, and Cort’s Ergo-A asymmetric neck profile ensure maximum comfort and reduced fatigue—perfect for extended playing sessions. With Gotoh 510Z tuners, Fishman Matrix Infinity VT electronics, and high-end hardware throughout, this is a stage-ready instrument built for the discerning player.

European spruce top with mahogany back and sides for rich, dynamic tone
Dual side sound ports for enhanced personal monitoring and top resonance
Ergonomic bevels, rolled fret edges, and asymmetric neck profile for supreme comfort
