Cort expands its Core Series acoustic guitar lineup with fresh tonewood options and stage-ready electronics
Cort has expanded its Core Series acoustic guitar lineup with two new models that combine all-solid construction and stage-ready electronics in a streamlined, performance-focused platform.
Featuring semi-gloss, UV-cured finishes and a selection of exotic tonewoods, the expanded range introduces the new Core-GA Formosan koa and Core-OC Maple alongside the previously released Core-MC Ovangkol.

At the heart of the Core Series is an all-solid construction paired with hand-scalloped X-bracing and a dovetail neck joint at the 14th fret.
The new Core-GA Formosan koa pairs a solid spruce top with solid Formosan koa (Acacia Confusa) back and sides, delivering warm response and harmonic depth along with the resonance of a fully solid body. The guitar also features a mahogany neck with a Comfort C profile, paired with a 15.75” radius rosewood fingerboard and a 25.5” scale length.
The Core-OC Maple, meanwhile, pairs a solid spruce top with solid sycamore maple back and sides, delivering a bright, articulate voice with strong projection and dynamic response. Other key features include a hard maple neck with a Comfort C profile, a matching rosewood fingerboard, along with a 25.5” scale length.

Both models feature 20 frets and genuine bone nuts, with widths of 1 3/4” (45mm) on the GA and 1 11/16” (43mm) on the OM. Shared appointments include rosewood bridges, vintage open-gear tuning machines for smooth and precise operation, plus aged white ABS binding and black-and-aged white ABS rosettes. Venetian cutaways also enhance upper fret access on applicable models.
Designed for both studio and stage use, all Core Series models come equipped with Fishman Presys VT electronics that give a “clean acoustic signal”, alongside discreet side-mounted controls for volume and tone.
Each guitar is also finished with an ultra-thin “sonically enhanced UV finish” designed to preserve resonance while adding a vintage-inspired burst aesthetic.
Cort says the specifications are designed to “balance comfort and precision across different playing styles”, with neck construction and playability tailored to each model while maintaining a consistent overall feel.
Each guitar ships strung with Elixir Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb Light strings (12–53) and includes a Cort gig bag.
The Cort Core Series acoustic guitars are available now, with the Core-GA Formosan koa priced at €739, the Core-OC Maple at €729, and the original Core-MC Ovangkol at €759.
