Cort Acoustics

Gold Series
C12285
Gold-OC8 Nylon
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

Using a special process that we call ATV(Aged to Vintage) we treat the solid Engelmann 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 Top

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.

Solid Pau Ferro Back & Sides

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's stable, abrasion resistant, hard, attractive, exotic and has good impression strength parallel to the grain.


OM Cutaway Body

The OM’s compact size is ideal for players with a small body frame or seeking playing comfort. The bright and stronger high-midrange emphasis is more suited for finger picking than strumming which often requires more low-end. The Venetian cutaway on this model allows easy access to the high frets.

Fishman® Flex Blend System

This system combines an under-saddle pickup with a condenser microphone to provide even the most demanding acoustic players the tones they desire on any stage. The preamp superbly translates the guitar’s natural sound.


Ebony Fingerboard

There are many types of woods that are used for fingerboard but no other compares to the jet-black beauty and slick smoothness of Ebony.

DoubleLock Neck Joint

The connection between a guitar’s neck and body is another key factor for great sound. On the Gold, we started with a tight fitting traditional dovetail neck joint. We then reinforced it by adding a bolt. This DoubleLock neck joint maximizes the transfer of tone and enhances resonance on the Gold.


Walnut Reinforced Neck

The neck on the Gold has been reinforced for added rigidity and stability using two special inserts. This is constructed with two pieces of walnut installed to add stability while still retaining the natural properties of wood to further upgrade the Gold.

Savarez® Cristal Corum

This set of Savarez Cristal Corum 500CJ high-tension nylon guitar strings includes Corum polished-silver-wound basses with Cristal trebles. If you prefer a higher tension playing feel, then this 500CJ set is perfect for you.


Exclusive Deluxe Soft-Side Case

The new Cort Deluxe Soft-Side Case is not only stylish and sleek but combines the best attributes of a hard case with the flexibility of a padded gig-bag for superb protection for the instrument as well as excellent portability.
