Cort Gold PASSION Acoustic/Electric Guitar - Natural Glossy

Cort Gold Series Passion – Vintage Voice, Modern Refinement

(Includes Case. 3 Available)

If you love the open, matured tone of a well-played vintage acoustic — but don’t want to wait decades for it to develop — the Cort Gold Passion was built for exactly that experience.

Using Cort’s proprietary ATV (Aged To Vintage) torrefaction process, the solid Engelmann spruce top is treated to unlock the resonance, warmth, and responsiveness typically found in older, broken-in instruments. From the first strum, it feels alive.

What It Feels Like

• Slim, comfortable Modern Concert body — balanced and easy for long sessions

• Bevel cutaway for smoother arm comfort and upper-fret access

• Hand-rolled fingerboard edges for a broken-in feel

• Walnut-reinforced maple neck for stability and clarity

• Ebony fingerboard — smooth, fast, and articulate

This is a refined acoustic — responsive under a light touch, but strong enough to handle confident strumming.

What It Sounds Like

• Torrefied Engelmann spruce top for open, airy response

• Smooth, articulate high end with strong dynamic sensitivity

• “AAA” solid flamed maple back & sides for focused low-mids and rich overtones

• Clear note separation for both fingerstyle and strumming

• Natural amplified tone via the L.R. Baggs Anthem system

Plugged in, the hybrid mic + undersaddle design captures nuance while remaining stage-ready and feedback resistant.

Who It’s For

✔ Fingerstyle players who rely on touch and articulation
✔ Singer-songwriters who want clarity in front-of-mix settings
✔ Performers who need natural-sounding live electronics
✔ Players seeking vintage tone without vintage pricing

Who It’s Not For

✘ Players wanting heavy low-end dreadnought boom
✘ Ultra-bright, cutting acoustic tones
✘ Purely decorative “wall hanger” instruments

Why Players Choose the Passion

• Torrefied top for instant maturity

• All-solid tonewoods for depth and projection

• Ebony board & bridge for clarity and sustain

• Premium L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics

• Refined comfort details throughout

• Includes hard case

This is not just another production acoustic — it’s a purpose-built instrument designed to deliver seasoned tone, modern comfort, and reliable stage performance straight out of the case.
