Auditorium action
Smaller than the fearsome dreadnought style, auditorium shaped guitars strike a fine balance of size and projection. And the Core GA showcases this design with finesse, presenting you with an instrument that's suitable for both strummers and fingerpickers. Combined with the cutaway, seamless access to the high frets and a comfortable feel are yours to enjoy.
This eye-catching body shape is adorned with a black binding and ABS Black rosette for a truly alluring appearance usually found on much more expensive models, so be prepared to draw attention!
Bountiful blackwood
A feast for your ears. This versatile wood possesses a remarkable tonal range that suit it to the Core GA's size. Rich, detailed lows flow into a rounded, full mid-range that still boasts enough bite for high ends to shine through. This developed array of textures means you can dive into loads of genres or styles with success. Strum through country style chords and enjoy the rich bass response, or pick out the highs with fingerpicking blues or folk. It rewards experimentation!
Regardless of what you play, it's only going to develop as you play more. Solid wood naturally changes as it ages, leading to fuller, enriched tones later down the line. But that's not all, the mahogany top also carries an open pore finish, taking your resonance a step further and reducing the overall weight of the instrument. It'll make it a breeze to wield on stage, letting you focus on the playing.
Fantastic ovangkol fretboard
Like rosewood, ovangkol opens the same tonal dimensions. Just like the mahogany found in the body and neck, ovangkol will infuse your notes with a full midrange and warm character. Every note will be pronounced, blossoming and defined. Boasting a comfortably shaped mahogany neck, you'll get an easy grip to allow you to play for hours.
Set with a genuine water buffalo bone nut and saddle, your strings will be locked down for maximum sustain. Every vibration from your strings will transfer through into the body to draw out the detail of the tonewoods.
Brace yourself…
…For stunning resonance courtesy of the Cort GA's cutting edge X-bracing. Underpinning the mahogany top, this bracing has been hand-scalloped to let your soundboard project with clarity and definition. The volume you'll get from this is remarkable, and that's before you even plug it in!
Fishman Sonitone makes you ready to perform
Fishman are some of the best and most experienced pickup crafters out there. And you shouldn't settle for anything but the highest performance. The Fishman Sonitone system has been voiced to produce crisp, accurate tones. It's mounted just underneath the sound hole so there's no unsightly panels, knobs or switches to detract from the Core GA's impeccable appearance. For precision adjustment, it features tone and volume controls for you to sculpt your sound as you play. Get amped up and revel in a performance packed with detail.
Get on the road…
One of the barriers to performing when you've got your hands on a new guitar is protecting it during transport. That's not problem with the Cort Core GA as you'll have a luxuriously soft gig bag from the get-go, designed to fit your instrument and padded for protection. So you'll get to the venue in pristine condition and ready to perform.
