Cort Modern Masterpiece Series Electro Acoustic Guitar
The Cort Modern boldly balances tradition and innovation to bring you an unforgettable playing experience. Passionately crafted with premium materials and components, the sound of Cort Modern will captivate you from the first notes you play. Cort Modern — it re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can sound and feel.
| Timeless Tonewoods for Traditional Tone Amazing acoustic tone begins with superior tonewoods from Cort. The Modern Black combines a European spruce top with mahogany back and sides, a timeless recipe for warm lows, rich and complex mids, and detailed highs. Complete with a reinforced walnut neck, and ebony fretboard, bridge, and pins, the Modern Black is a superb representation of the luthier’s art with non-traditional character. |
| Modern Concert Body Shape Redefines How Big a Small Guitar Can Sound Inspired by the player-favorite Grand Concert body shape, the Modern Concert body shape gives the Modern Black a comfortably compact feel without sacrificing sonic complexity. With richer, more robust tone than you’d expect from a smaller body, Modern Concert re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can sound. |
| Hear Every Nuance with Dual Side Sound Ports Instead of a soundhole in the top, the innovative design of the Modern Black incorporates dual side-positioned sound ports. With the sound directed towards your ears, you’ll be able to hear every nuance of your technique, even when playing softly. Not only do these non-traditional soundholes make a bold visual statement, they allow the European spruce top to vibrate more naturally for richer acoustic tone. And your audience with be rewarded with balanced, room-filling acoustic tone, whether they’re sitting in front of you or off to the side. |
| Softened Edges for Supreme Playability The Modern Black features hand-rolled fret edges and a beveled armrest for of the most comfortable playing experiences you’ll find. Rolling the fret edges is a painstaking process that gives Modern Black a fluid feel in your fretting hand. And the beveled arm rest gives your strumming arm just the right amount of support without digging in, whether you’re sitting or standing. |
| Ergo-A Asymmetric Neck Profile Reduces Hand Fatigue Players of all styles will appreciate the Modern Black’s Ergo-A Asymmetric neck profile. This ergonomic profile shifts as you play higher on the fretboard, enhancing fret access while reducing hand fatigue. And with the Modern Black’s generous string spacing, chords will ring out clean and true whether you’re strumming or fingerpicking. |
| Plug-in with Superior Acoustic-electric Tone To accurately represent your acoustic tone when it’s time to plug in, the Modern Black is equipped with Fishman Matrix Infinity VT electronics. Soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls allow you to shape your sound quickly and easily. Chosen for dynamic string response and notably transparent amplification, you can be confident that Fishman Matrix Infinity VT electronics with maintain your tonal integrity. |
| Elegant Tuning Machines with High-precision Performance For maximum tuning stability and precision, Modern Black is equipped with Gotoh 510Z gold tuning machines. With their ultra-precise 21:1 ratio these tuners feel solid and ultra-smooth at the same time. Elegant and streamlined, the Modern Black will have you smiling from the moment you tune up. |
| Ebony Accents Focus Acoustic Sound The Modern Black's ebony bridge and pins are made of high density ebony that keeps the fundamental acoustic sound focused and tight with greater sonic projection than plastic, enhancing the transfer of the string vibrations throughout the soundboard top, body and the neck. |
| Hand-Rolled Fret Edge Treatment The shaping and treatment of a guitar’s frets have a big impact on comfort and performance. Most guitar makers simply bevel the frets at each end to eliminate the sharp edges. Boutique acoustic builders use a method to dress their frets to make them round, smooth, and ultra-comfortable to touch and play. This process is highly complex and time-consuming and requires the skilled workmanship of experienced craftsmen. |
| Optimal Neck Scale & Nut Width Modern Black features a 25.5″ (648mm) neck scale with 1 3/4″ (44.5mm) nut width widely regarded as the ‘golden standard' among fingerstyle players for its optimal string spacing and string tension. |
| Walnut Reinforced Neck Using two special inserts made of more rigid walnut, the neck on the Modern Black has been reinforced for added rigidity and stability to withstand various types of fingerstyle playing. |
| Graph Tech® Black TUSQ Nut Preferred by many guitar makers and players for rich tone and sustain, the TUSQ® is an advanced polymer that's formed under high heat and pressure for uniform density. It's designed to transfer string energy more efficiently, and to make guitars come alive with enhanced harmonics, volume and sustain. |
