Cort Gold-OC8 Nylon Classical Guitar with Pickup & Gig Bag

The Gold-OC8 Nylon is the very first GOLD series Classical guitar with top-tier woods, materials, technology, and craftsmanship. Cort’s modern take on the oldest form of guitar, the GOLD-OC8 Nylon is built with Solid Engelmann Spruce (first to be used on Gold Series) for rich and full midrange, and is equipped with top of the line Fishman Flex Blend system.

Features:

Aged to Vintage Top
A vintage instrument is the holy grail of acoustic guitar tone. The wood on the top cures and opens up more over time. This unleashes a tonal quality that is missing in new instruments – until now. Using a special process we call ATV (Aged To Vintage), we treat the solid sitka spruce top to give it that big and open tone of a decades-old, highly-sought-after acoustic. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone to you right out of the box.

Solid Engelmann Spruce & Solid Pau Ferro Wood Combination
More tactile and sensitive than Sitka spruce, Engelmann spruce exhibits a clear and smooth top-end that is responsive to a light soft touch, making it ideal for solo fingerstyle players or folk/pop singer-songwriters where the acoustic guitar takes center stage.

Pau Ferro, also known as Morado, Santos Rosewood or Bolivian Rosewood, boasts many of the qualities that are highly regarded in tonewood that is close to Indian Rosewood. It is stable, abrasion resistant, stiff, attractive, exotic and has good impression strength parallel to the grain.

OM Cutaway Body
The Gold-OC8 Nylon features a classic OM cutaway body style. This body style initially developed in the 1920’s captures the prized pre-war era tone that is often sought after. Sonically it delivers a sound that is larger than its compact size would hint at and with a level of dynamic responsiveness that makes it a joy to play.
