Cort's Gold series features the Aged to Vintage (ATV) treatment. This process allows the Grade A+ solid Sitka spruce top to mature and develop a better tone over time. Similar to torrefaction, ATV gives the Gold - A8 a large, open sound that's bright yet natural, with a strong and warm midrange enhanced by the solid Pau Ferro back and sides. A UV finish that improves sound quality protects the guitar and its tone. It's now available in a new Light Burst color, besides the Natural Gloss option. The Fishman Flex Blend System, with its modern design and innovative engineering, offers extensive sonic control and comes with a built - in tuner.

Using your Cort Gold - A8 - LB acoustic guitar is a breeze. First, take it out of the deluxe soft - side case carefully. Plug in the Fishman Flex Blend System if you're using it for amplified sound and use the built - in tuner to get your strings in tune. When playing, strum or pick gently at first to let the strings settle. The light - burst finish looks great, but be careful not to scratch it. Keep the guitar in a room with stable temperature and humidity to avoid warping. Clean the strings after each use with a soft cloth to maintain their tone. Every few months, check the tuning machines and bridge for any loose parts. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings slightly to relieve stress on the neck.
