Cort Guitars Core Series GA-Blackwood Acoustic-Electric Cort Guitars has expanded its Core Series of acoustic-electric guitars with the introduction of three new models : the Core GA-Blackwood , Core-DC Mahogany , and Core-PE Mahogany . While the GA-Blackwood represents a newly-added Grand Auditorium body style in the series , the dreadnought cutaway mahogany and parlor mahogany are popular body shapes .
The Core GA-Blackwood is a series-first grand auditorium , with a body ideally sized between the large dreadnought and more intimate grand concert . It has a 25.3-in . neck scale , designed for both strumming / flatpicking and fingerstyle playing . The acoustic-electric guitar offers sonic characteristics that represent a blend of several tonewoods , as blackwood delivers the rich low-end of mahogany , the brightness of maple , and the ethereal overtones of rosewood .
The GA-Blackwood and other new Core Series models feature ovangkol fretboards and mahogany necks , a combination that produces a warm mixture of balanced tone and deep sustain . Additionally , all three guitars have 20 frets with white dot inlays , an ABS black rosette , and an ovangkol bridge . On each Core Series model , Cort has upgraded the nut and saddle to genuine water buffalo bone and a dovetail neck joint . The GA-Blackwood also features a wider 1.75-inch nut width .
