Cort ESSENCE-GA4 Special BTSG Electro Acoustic Guitar
The Essence Series offers a pure acoustic guitar experience. By focusing on core elements, we’ve crafted a guitar that delivers exceptional sound and playability at an affordable price. The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top produces a rich, warm tone, perfectly balanced by mahogany back and sides. The intricate herringbone rosette and purfling add visual appeal, while the Fishman preamp system ensures your sound remains clear and vibrant, even on stage. Available in both OM Cutaway and Grand Auditorium body shapes, with Natural Semi-Gloss and Black Top Semi-Gloss finishes, the Essence Series offers the perfect blend of value and performance to suit your style. - Solid Sitka Spruce & Mahogany Wood combination -Fishman Presys VT -Rosewood Fretboard and Bridge -Herringbone Rosette and Purfling -Vintage Open Gear Tuners -Aged to Vintage Top -Elixir Nanoweb strings
Aged to Vintage Top and Bracing
Using a special process called ATV (Aged To Vintage), we treat the solid Sitka spruce top and bracing to achieve the big, open tone of a decades-old, highly sought-after acoustic guitar. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone right out of the box, making the guitar more stable and resonant over time.
“Just-Right” Grand Auditorium Body
With a body depth of 4 5/8″ (117mm), an upper bout width of 11 1/2″ (292mm), and a lower bout width of 16″ (405mm), the Grand Auditorium body size sits perfectly between the larger Dreadnought and the smaller Grand Concert. This makes the Auditorium body type ideal for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle playing, suiting the versatile acoustic player who prefers one guitar to cover a variety of sounds and playing styles.
Clarity, Warmth, and Punch — in Every Register
The flamed blackwood back and sides add richness and projection, balancing low-end warmth with detailed mids and a top-end that cuts. This is a guitar that feels big, but never bloated — ideal for dynamic fingerstyle and full, open strumming.
