The traditional style AC models have been re-engineered to improve resonance for an authentic classical guitar sound. The nice combination of tone-woods yields a traditional, deep and delightfully mellow tone. Cort AC series is very forgiving of student mistakes,requiring slightly less precision and sharpness for a good tone. Compared to spruce, cedar is a bit mellower and warmer. The midrange is slightly accentuated with a sweeter top-end, making cedar ideal for players who fingerpick a lot and prefer a slightly rounder and fuller sound. Rich and deep, warm yet punchy with an ideal sprinkling of sweet presence, rosewood imparts a big low-end with plenty of power and volume for use in any musical style. Traditional classical guitar fan bracing is used internally to maximize the vibrational characteristics of nylon strings. The volute makes the player's left thumb feel comfortable during playing to enhance playability. The coated classical nylon strings resist discoloration and corrosion better than standard strings while retaining liveliness and power. Even after the guitar hasn't been played for weeks or months at a time sitting on a stand or stowed away in its case, the strings still look, sound and feel fresh. Features 2-band EQ, LED tuner and phase control along with Sonicore pickup for the signature Fishman sound. Finish: Natural Glossy
