Cort built the CJ-RETRO-VSM as part of the CJ Series, positioning it as a jumbo-bodied acoustic-electric with retro styling appointments. It carried a Vintage Sunburst Matt finish and sat within Cort's range of full-size acoustic-electrics designed for players who required both acoustic projection and onboard electronics.
The instrument features a spruce top paired with African Mahogany (Okoume) back and sides, joined to a Mahogany (Palaquium) neck via a dovetail neck joint. The 648mm (25.5") scale runs to a 43mm nut width across a Merbau fretboard carrying 20 frets with dual rectangular inlays. White binding trims the body, and the headstock carries open-gear tuners. The Merbau bridge anchors the strings, while electronics consist of a Fishman Ned-D humbucker pickup — top-mounted — feeding a Fishman VTB EQ preamp system.
Owners sourcing replacement parts for the Fishman Ned-D humbucker or VTB EQ system should cross-reference Fishman's own compatibility documentation, as the pickup mounts in the soundhole and the controls sit on the upper bout. For neck joint work, fret replacement, or nut fitting, a qualified luthier familiar with dovetail construction will be the appropriate resource.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
