collapse expand iconDescription

The CORE-OC is a solid OM acoustic guitar is part of the Core Series from Cort is a premium series of all-solid acoustic guitars featuring excellent tonewoods, components and craftsmanship. The The CORE-OC features a compact OM size ideal for players with a small body frame or seeking playing comfort. Its bright, strong high-midrange emphasis is more suited for fingerpicking than strumming, which often requires more low end. The Venetian cutaway on this model allows easy access to the high frets. You can also plug in and get quality tone amplified thanks to the CORE-OC's onboard Fishman Presys VT system which retains all the natural resonance and pure acoustic sound that other systems can’t. The controls are simple to use as well with only Volume and Tone.

If sound and playability are your top priorities, look no further than the Core Series.

    The first thing I noticed about the Blackwood was how light it is and it's great look. It's a huge step up from the other guitars I've had with solid tops but laminate back and sides. There is quite a difference. The finish on this is satin and super thin which is great. It has a very mid-forward sound which is really what I was looking for because it is very balanced when strummed. It's loud and clear. The nut is cut a little higher than I like but acceptable. Everything else is perfect. Very happy with it,

  • It's ok

    I bought one on clearance, probably used, but I didn't ask. Sounded better than the other guitars at $400. Heard my cousin playing The Unforgiven on it and had to get it. After watching YouTube though, I'd get the Blackwood version, though I'm happy with my guitar and glad it sounds great.

  • Surprised I went home with this - but don't regret it!

    byNoYB, But I Really Bought This

    fromBoston MA

    (Too long, Didn't Read Below) Went into GC after calling ahead to get another brand pulled off the shelf for me. I had never even heard of this brand (apparently the sales people did - but maybe they were just saying that to sell it), but it sounded better than everything else I played. It's not the sexiest looking guitar, but it feels and sounds great. The pickup sounded OK in the store, but that's not really what I'm interested in and haven't used the electronics enough to review them. The thing sounds rich, and the neck is comfortable, C shaped and thin. The description calls this solid spruce, but I'm not sure how true that is. I'm no luthier, but it feels too light to be made out of solid anything - I think its composite. That said though, it being so light is great for playing live. you can move around while wearing it standing. Despite whatever composite (or wood idk) its made out of, I was very surprised that I went home with this, but don't regret it. TL;DR Sound:10/10 Set-up:8/10 Sharp higher frets, faint fret buzz or electronics shaking Aesthetic: 7/10 Totally subjective though Build Quality: 8/10 I dont think this is solid spruce, but it sounds and feels great - so whatever. Value 9/10

  • Love it
