Key Features
The Cort Gold Passion is about as high-end as an acoustic guitar can be. It's packed full of top-quality appointments to provide only the best playing experience - this could easily be your touring workhorse or studio dependable. It boasts a rich tonality and nuanced sonics that stem from an all-solid wood construction, featuring specially chosen materials to create a wide frequency range. It's not just that, either! Cort's advanced torrefaction treatment enhances the response and sustain of the top wood so it acts like an acoustic that's been played and loved for decades.
Outside of its sounds, Cort's double neck joint and reinforced neck build ensure maximum tonal transfer from the strings to the chamber, and also ensure a rock solid stability that's unfazed by humidity and heat. Meanwhile, for performing live or recording, the LR Baggs electronics promises pristine and transparent reproduction of the rich Passion tone, losing none of the character or sharpness. Finally, Cort's hand-rolled fretboard edge, fret-edge treatment and unique scalloped body serve up a playability that's nothing short of sublime. If you're looking for a professional grade concert, look no further.

The Gold Passion's torrefied Engelmann spruce top is a remarkable feature. This high-quality top wood has undergone thermal modification to eliminate moisture and resin, resulting in exceptional resonance with rich overtones. The beautiful blonde colour of the Engelmann Spruce, combined with the Gold Passion's torrefaction, further enhances its visual appeal.
Being a solid wood, you can expect a clear and expressive high-end, along with a present and focused mid-range. Thanks to Cort's hand-scalloped X-bracing, the low-end is deep and well-defined, offering ample volume and projection as well.
Adding to the luxurious aesthetic and sound of the Cort Gold Passion is its AAA grade flame maple back and sides. This visually stunning tonewood boasts a three-dimensional appearance, with a curly grain that catches the eye from all angles.
In terms of tone, maple offers excellent clarity and note separation, ideal for fingerpickers or players looking for a responsive and articulate sound. It's also a relatively lightweight tonewood, making the Gold Passion extremely comfortable to play for extended periods. The brighter character of maple pairs beautifully with the warmth of the torrefied spruce top, creating a well-balanced and dynamic tone.
The LR Baggs Anthem system is a highly acclaimed pickup and preamp combination. This system has been specially designed to capture the natural sound of acoustic guitars, with a focus on retaining all the tone and dynamics that make them so special in the first place.
The discreet Anthem Tru-Mic is responsible for capturing the top-end frequencies and subtle nuances of your picking, while the Element undersaddle pickup handles the lower frequencies. With a soundhole-mounted volume and tone control, you can easily adjust your sound on the fly without affecting the overall tonal balance.
The Cort Gold Passion features a meticulously crafted hard maple neck that prioritizes comfort. Its slim profile, extending from the headstock to the neck joint, ensures a secure grip and ample space across the fretboard. This design facilitates a seamless playing experience, thanks to the hand-rolled fretboard edges and treated fret-edges that enhance fluidity and speed. Additionally, the exquisite ebony material and jumbo frets provide a luxurious feel and effortless playability at all times.
