Description

Cort built the GOLD-O6-NAT as part of its Gold Series, an OM-format flattop acoustic centred on a torrefaction-based treatment Cort called Aged to Vintage (ATV). The ATV process was applied to the Grade A+ solid Sitka spruce top, functioning as a torrefaction treatment intended to accelerate the curing and opening of the top over time. A UV finish was applied over the body. The GOLD-O6-NAT occupied the upper tier of Cort's acoustic range, distinguished by its tonewoods and finishing details.

The top is torrefied solid Sitka spruce. Back and sides are solid African Mahogany (Okoume), and the neck is Mahogany (Palaquium). The fretboard and bridge are both Macassar Ebony, with 20 frets over a 643 mm (25.3") scale length. Nut width is 45 mm (1¾"). The neck attaches via Cort's Double-Lock Neck Joint. Decoration includes an abalone rosette, black binding with triple-ply purfling, and Gold Custom mother-of-pearl inlays. Tuners are deluxe vintage gold. The instrument shipped strung with D'Addario EXP16 Light strings.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including Macassar Ebony saddle blanks, abalone rosette material, or vintage-gold tuner sets in the correct footprint — should bring the instrument to a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can verify fit against the actual hardware before any parts are ordered or installed.

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.
