2019 Cort® Catalog - NEW

LUXE Frank Gambale SIGNATURE MODEL

Developed in conjunction with legendary guitarist Frank Gambale, this is a true signature model in that the artist had a great deal of input on each detail of the guitar. Ideal for high-speed soloing, this innovative acoustic-electric guitar also features custom wooden rosette and custom fingerboard inlay designed by Frank Gambale himself.

“This guitar is so balanced and resonant right across the whole range on the fret board.

The guitar rings like a bell and the tone and volume beautifully balanced through the range of the instrument.

I think it’s the wonderful combination of woods and the classical guitar body dimensions that is a powerful combination that just works!!”

LUXE Solid Adirondack Spruce Top Flamed Blackwood Back and Sides LR Baggs EAS-VTC EQ Graphtech Black TUSQ Nut and Saddle Mahogany Neck Ebony Fingerboard Ebony Bridge Gold Tuners D’Addario Custom Gauge Strings Hard Case Included

91-106mm body depth gives ideal resonation of each and every note played.

The custom extra light gauge specified by Frank Gambale facilitates fast soloing on the high frets without loss of volume or projection.

Art deco styled headstock with abalone inlay of Frank Gambale logo and exotic tri-gem decoration.

Jeff’s basses have always been simple and vintage inspired, but then tweaked to his exact specifcations to make them something special. The Rithimic provides that same balance between vintage, simple and well evolved for today’s playing demands.

“After playing the same bass for so many years I was not sure that another builder could develop something that I would love.

As soon as I played the very first Cort Rithimic bass I was wowed. I could not believe how perfectly this bass turned out.

This is an astonishing instrument that Cort has built for me.”

Jeff Berlin

DESIGNED AND INSPIRED BY

JEFF BERLIN “Boasting an alder body adorned with an artistic veneer of spalted maple and padouk, Cort’s new Rithimic bass is visually striking, yet tasteful.”

“If you dig Jeff Berlin’s sound, approach, and style of playing, the Rithimic will put you in the ballpark—at least equipment-wise.”

MAGAZINE

“Jeff’s setup is as straightforward and direct as his attitude to making music, especially with his signature Rithimic bass from Cort.”

On the heels of the mega-successful release of the MBC-1 Matt Bellamy Signature Model that was developed in conjunction with UK’ s Manson Guitars, the new M-Jet and Classic TC models that continue and expand upon the design concepts of hybrid vintage single cutaway electric guitars.

Hugh Manson has been making electric guitars for some of the world’s best known rock & roll superstars, including John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin and Matt Bellamy from Muse. Cort collaborated with Hugh to create two guitars Classic TC and M-Jet. Both are built on the Manson Guitar Works popular body style platform which takes vintage guitar design further.

EASY PLAY

We asked guitarists what their biggest obstacle was while learning to play. Answers ranged from weight, and cost. We took these problems to our builders and design team and challenged them new EasyPlay guitars. When you're learning guitar, play smarter, not harder.

200ATV Series

Cort Guitars knows that many players who want a new, reasonably priced acoustic prioritize instrument sound quality. In fact, many acoustic guitarists would forgo cosmetic upgrades for an enhanced, vintage tone. Intended to meet those players’ needs, Cort introduces its new 200 ATV (Aged to Vintage) Series of acoustic guitars.

Featuring basic designs but all the key enhancements that improve sound quality, guitars in the ATV Series deliver a tone that has previously been missing in new instruments.

The new L150F, Earth 80 and MR720F are, respectively, upgraded versions of the L100F, Earth 70 and MR710F and were developed after the enactment of the CITES regulation to substitute Rosewood with the alternative composite wood material EvoRose. Very similar to Rosewood in its luxurious look and feel, EvoRose is used on back and sides as an update to the popular stalwarts in the Cort acoustic lineup.

Little

CJ

To address the growing interest in small size guitars, CortÂŽ has developed these new downsized acoustic guitar models with their desires and needs in mind. Due to the compromises that are inherent when downsizing the guitar in such areas as volume, pitch stability, and the bass response, an arched back is utilized to enhance these critical areas of the guitar's overall performance.
