Cort Modern Black – All-Solid Concert Acoustic-Electric with Dual Side Sound Ports
The Modern Black from Cort's Masterpiece Series rethinks the acoustic guitar from the top down. There's no soundhole in the top – instead, two sound ports on the upper side let the master grade solid European spruce top vibrate freely, and point the sound right back at you so you hear every detail of your playing, even at low volume. Solid mahogany back and sides round out a warm, rich voice with clear, detailed highs, all under a gloss Trans Black finish with walnut binding and ebony appointments.
The Modern Concert body is compact and comfortable but sounds bigger than its size, and the beveled armrest, hand-rolled fret edges and Ergo-A asymmetric neck make it an easy guitar to play for long sessions. A walnut-reinforced mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, Gotoh® gold tuners and a Graph Tech® Black TUSQ nut and saddle add stability and sustain, and Fishman® Matrix Infinity VT electronics deliver a natural, transparent plugged-in tone. Ships with a Cort premium case.
