Torrefied spruce for seasoned tone
One of the standout features of the Cort Gold A10 Cocobolo is its torrefied solid Adirondack spruce top, a premium tonewood that has undergone an advanced heat-treatment process. This torrefaction method replicates the natural ageing of wood, significantly enhancing its tonal response. The result is a top that resonates with warmth and clarity, producing a mature, seasoned tone that’s typically found only in well-played vintage guitars. Its responsiveness to light touch and dynamic range makes it ideal for expressive playing styles, from fingerstyle passages to bold, percussive strumming. Combined with scalloped X-bracing and a traditional dovetail neck joint, the Gold A10’s soundboard delivers incredible sustain, volume and detail across the tonal spectrum.
Stunning cocobolo back and sides
Equally impressive is the use of solid AAA grade cocobolo for the back and sides. This rare and visually striking tonewood is prized for its deep reddish hues, dramatic figuring and naturally oily texture, which together create a luxurious aesthetic. But cocobolo offers more than just beauty — it contributes a complex, harmonically rich tone with strong bass, clear trebles and a lush midrange. Its density helps project sound with authority while maintaining tonal balance, giving you clarity and depth in both live performance and studio recording. Paired with the torrefied top, this combination of tonewoods ensures a dynamic voice that’s both powerful and articulate.
Refined playability with boutique craftsmanship
Playability is at the heart of the Gold A10 Cocobolo’s appeal, thanks to its exceptional neck construction and boutique-style finishing. The neck is crafted from mahogany reinforced with walnut for stability, shaped into Cort’s Comfort C profile for a natural, relaxed grip. What sets this model apart is the hand-rolled fret edges — a feature usually reserved for custom builds. This process smooths and contours the fret ends to eliminate any sharpness or edge discomfort, resulting in a silky, broken-in feel as your fingers move across the fretboard. Combined with the satin neck finish and ebony fingerboard, this creates a fast, frictionless playing surface that feels effortless under the hand, from complex chord voicings to high-register lead playing.
Professional-grade electronics and premium detail
Designed with serious performers in mind, the Gold A10 Cocobolo comes equipped with the Fishman Flex Blend pickup system. This intuitive and highly responsive setup combines an undersaddle pickup with a condenser microphone, allowing you to blend sources and dial in a natural, studio-quality tone for live amplification. With discreet side-mounted controls for volume, tone and blend, it’s easy to adjust on the fly without sacrificing the guitar’s clean appearance. Beyond the electronics, Cort’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the design — from the abalone and mother-of-pearl inlays to the Grover open-gear tuners, ebony bridge and matching ebony bridge pins. Every element is chosen to elevate both aesthetics and function, making this guitar a refined instrument, delivering exceptional performance and character.
