Experience vintage tone from day one with the Cort Gold-A8, a flagship model from Cort’s celebrated Gold Series. Its standout feature is the Aged to Vintage (ATV) treated solid Sitka spruce top, which replicates the open, matured tonal character of a decades-old instrument. This torrefaction process delivers a big, bright tone with a natural warmth and a strong midrange — all without the years of waiting.

The top is paired with solid Pau Ferro back and sides, a tonewood known for its strength, sustain, and tonal profile similar to Indian rosewood. Together, they produce a sound that’s articulate, warm, and balanced across all frequencies.

The Auditorium-sized body with cutaway makes the Gold-A8 versatile for strummers and fingerstylists alike, while a UV-cured gloss finish protects the instrument and enhances its acoustic performance. Onboard electronics are powered by the Fishman Flex Blend system, offering a blend of undersaddle pickup and condenser mic tones, a built-in tuner, and intuitive controls — ideal for both live performance and studio recording.
