MODERN BLACK
Modern Black
The Cort Modern Black boldly balances tradition and innovation to bring you an unforgettable playing experience. Passionately crafted with premium materials and components, the sound of Cort Modern Black will captivate you from the first notes you play.
Cort Modern Black — it re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can feel.
Timeless Tonewoods for Traditional Tone
Inspired by the player-favorite Grand Concert body shape, the Modern Concert body shape gives the Modern Black a comfortably compact feel without sacrificing sonic complexity. With richer, more robust tone than you’d expect from a smaller body, Modern Concert re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can sound.
Hear Every Nuance with Dual Side Sound Ports
Instead of a soundhole in the top, the innovative design of the Modern Black incorporates dual side-positioned sound ports. With the sound directed towards your ears, you’ll be able to hear every nuance of your technique, even when playing softly. Not only do these non-traditional soundholes make a bold visual statement, they allow the European spruce top to vibrate more naturally for richer acoustic tone. And your audience with be rewarded with balanced, room-filling acoustic tone, whether they’re sitting in front of you or off to the side.
Re-defining How Big a Small Guitar Can Sound
Our Modern Concert body shape offers a comfortably compact feel without sacrificing sonic complexity. With richer, more robust tone than you’d expect from a typical Grand Concert body, Modern Concert re-defines how a small-bodied guitar can sound.
Softened Edges for Supreme Playability
Hand-rolled fret edges and a beveled armrest make Modern Black one of the most comfortable playing experiences you’ll find. These painstaking processes give Modern Black a fluid feel in your fretting hand, and excellent support for your strumming arm without digging in.
Ergo-A Neck Profile Reduces Hand Fatigue
The Modern Black’s Ergo-A Asymmetric neck profile shifts as you play higher on the fretboard, enhancing fret access while reducing hand fatigue. And generous string spacing helps chords ring out clean and true whether you’re strumming or fingerpicking.
Plug-in with Superior Acoustic-electric Tone
Chosen for dynamic string response and notably transparent response, Fishman Matrix Infinity VT electronics will maintain your tonal integrity when it’s time to plug in.
Elegant, High-precision Tuning
For maximum tuning stability and precision, Modern Black is equipped with Gotoh 510Z gold tuning machines. With their ultra-precise 21:1 ratio these tuners feel solid and ultra-smooth at the same time.
