Description

Cort built the GA-QF-CBB as part of the Grand Regal Series, a Grand Auditorium body acoustic-electric guitar fitted with a Venetian cutaway. The model sat within an established and, by Cort's own account, successful series, distinguished by its figured Maple top and African Mahogany (Okoume) back and sides. The Coral Blue Burst finish placed it among the more visually distinctive entries in the line.

Construction employed a dovetail neck joint, with a Mahogany (Palaquium) neck running to a Merbau fretboard across a 648mm (25.5") scale length at a 45mm nut width. The fretboard carries 20 frets and special design inlays, with white binding running the body and an abalone rosette around the soundhole. The Merbau bridge anchors the strings, while die-cast tuners handle tuning stability. Electronics are handled by a Fishman Isys T EQ system, making the GA-QF-CBB a self-contained acoustic-electric platform.

Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance, or replacement hardware sourcing should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with Grand Auditorium acoustics and Fishman electronics systems.

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.
