Cort Gold-Passion "Age to Vintage" Acoustic Guitar

Cort Gold-Passion Bridging the gap between nylon-string acoustic and electric, the Sunset Nylectric has held a unique position to offer the warm sound of the nylon string with the level of control that electric guitars offer. The Sunset Nylectric II features new updates that make it even more appealing to nylon-string players with thinner body, wider nut width and string spacing, slightly reduced scale length, Graph Tech® TUSQ nut, and tapered headstock design. The Nylectric II now offers the serious nylon-string player all the features to confidently amplify their playing. Beveled “Cutaway” for Comfortable Fret Access The Gold-Passion’s smooth bevel supports playing in the higher registers. It gives your fretting hand the extra freedom you need to play the highest frets in comfort, without reducing the cavity size the way a traditional cutaway would. Sonically Enhanced UV Finish for Truer Tone The Gold-Passion’s UV finish is thinner than standard poly or nitro finishes, allowing the wood the vibrate and breathe more naturally. And the process also reduces the amount of chemical interaction between the finish and the woods, which is ideal for your instrument’s longevity. Smoothed Edges for That “Just-right” Feel Whether you’re playing seated or standing, the Gold-Passion’s hand-rolled fret and body edges deliver an amazingly comfortable playing experience. While the hand-rolling process is complex and time consuming, it gives the Gold-Passion the smooth and effortless feel you need to truly express yourself. Hard Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard The maple neck provides a brighter punchier tone than the conventional neck materials such as mahogany, and the ebony fretboard provides a crisp and responsive sound in conjunction with the body’s acoustic resonance. Neck Profile Cort's neck thickness graduation from the headstock to the heel is optimized to increase comfort in your hands and optimize playability. To assure consistency, Cort uses state-of-the-art CNC machines to accurately mill each and every neck. Each neck is then carefully sanded and finished by skilled craftsmen. 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. Luminous Side Dots The Luminous side dot position markers make it easy for players to see the fretboard position when performing on dark stages.
