Description

Cort built the GA-MEDX-12-OP as an entry point into the Grand Regal Series, positioning it below the series' existing grand auditorium acoustic-electrics while retaining the core construction and electronics of the line. The model features a Venetian cutaway grand auditorium body joined to the neck via a dovetail joint, and ships in an open pore finish. It is a 12-string configuration.

The top is spruce, with back and sides of African Mahogany (Okoume) and a Mahogany (Palaquium) neck. The fretboard and bridge are both Merbau, with dot inlays and an abalone rosette. Binding is multi-ply ivory. The 45mm nut width and 648mm scale accommodate the 12-string stringing across 20 frets. Die-cast tuners handle the additional string load. Electronics are handled by the Cort CE306T preamp system.

Owners requiring setup adjustments, nut or saddle work, or parts sourcing for the Merbau fretboard, Merbau bridge, or CE306T electronics should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with 12-string acoustic-electric instruments.

From the people who own them

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.

Put yours on the record.

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.

What do you know about this one?

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.
