Cort Essence-OC4 NSG Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Natural Semi Gloss)

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.

Using a special process we call ATV (Aged To Vintage), we treat the solid sitka spruce top to give it that big and open tone of a decades-old, highly-sought-after acoustic. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone to you right out of the box.

Spruce provides an ideal balance between strength and flexibility, hence its overwhelming popularity as the wood of choice for tops of acoustic guitars. Bright yet natural with a strong and warm midrange, the beloved mahogany wood has been a standard for back and sides on premium acoustics for many decades.

Installed internally without cutting out any of the woods, the Presys VT EQ system retains all the natural resonance and the pure acoustic sound that other systems can’t. The controls are simple to use as well with only Volume and Tone.

A rosewood fretboard and bridge create a harmonious blend, delivering a rich character. Rosewood’s dense, oily properties contribute to a warm, balanced sound with exceptional sustain. The fretboard enhances playability with it’s smooth surface, while the bridge efficiently transfers strings vibrations to the guitar’s body, amplifying the instrument’s overall resonance.

Featuring an 18:1 gear ratio, these open gear tuning machines contribute to the instrument’s vintage appeal, offering precise tuning adjustments and a classic aesthetic.

Herringbone rosette and purfling are exquisite decorative elements that enhance the aesthetic appeal of a guitar. Often associated with vintage instruments, these intricate details contribute to the overall charm and character of a guitar.
