AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Cort Masterpiece Series Modern Black 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 Black 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.
Features:
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
Fishman Matrix Infinity VT electronics with soundhole-mounted controls

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
