Description
Inspired by the chic and sleek style of the modern jazz era, the Modern Black boasts unique and bold design with a blend of elegance and composure. Its body shape is a complete redesign of the conventional grand concert shape with modified curves that suits the overall styling, while maintaining superb resonance and sound quality, and the dual sound ports ensure that the sound is audible to both the player and the audience. The addition of the world-renowned Fishman® Matrix Infinity pickup / preamp system provides a clear and transparent tone when plugged in.
Master Grade Solid European Spruce Top with Solid Mahogany Back & Sides
With bell-like clarity over a broad sonic spectrum, the solid European spruce top’s transparent character is ideal for both sensitive fingerstyle playing and relaxed strumming techniques. The richness of ethereal overtones is the defining essence of this premium sought-after wood featured on this model. Bright yet natural with a strong and warm midrange, the beloved mahogany wood has been a standard for back and sides on premium acoustics for many decades.
Modern Concert Body Shape
Inspired by the popular grand concert body shape, the newly designed Modern Concert body shape is Cort’s own rethinking of the smaller acoustic body type that was carefully designed for enhanced resonance and responsiveness. Together with a softer venetian cutaway, the Modern Concert shape also boasts playing comfort.
Dual Side Sound Ports
Instead of a conventional sound hole in the center of the body, the specifically placed dual sound ports on the sides affect the Helmholtz properties of the body and enhance the dynamics and the treble of the acoustic tone. It also allows the player to better monitor the natural sound of the guitar during performance while enabling the audience to hear the guitar as well. Meanwhile, since the top wood is free of sound holes, it is more resilient and resonant.
