Description

This second hand guitar is in great condition


The Cort Core OC All Blackwood is a beautifully built, warm‑sounding, modern acoustic that punches far above its price. The all‑blackwood construction gives it a distinctive tonal character, earthy, focused, and intimate, while the Open Pore finish keeps it resonant and lightweight. It’s ideal for fingerstyle, singer‑songwriters, and players who want a boutique aesthetic without boutique pricing.

 Build Quality & Construction

🪵 Tonewoods

  • Top: Solid Blackwood
  • Back & Sides: Solid Blackwood
  • Neck: Mahogany
  • Fretboard: Ovangkol
  • Bridge: Ovangkol

 Tonally, blackwood sits somewhere between koa and mahogany:

  • Warm mids
  • Tight, controlled bass
  • Sweet, rounded highs
  • A slightly dry character that records beautifully

The Open Pore finish lets the wood breathe, improving resonance and giving the guitar a natural, organic feel in the hands.

 Body Shape: OC (Orchestra Cutaway)

The OC body is:

  • More focused than a dreadnought
  • Perfect for fingerstyle and light strumming
  • Comfortable for long sessions
  • Balanced across the frequency range

Tone & Projection

 Acoustic Tone

Expect:

  • Warm, woody mids
  • Clear but not harsh treble
  • Tight, articulate bass
  • Excellent note separation

It’s not a cannon like a dreadnought, but it’s expressive, responsive, and beautifully balanced. Blackwood tends to open up over time, so the guitar gets richer the more you play it.

🎤 Plugged‑In Tone

Plugged in, its:

  • Clean
  • Natural
  • Easy to EQ
  • Great for live use or home recording


 Hardware & Playability

Pros

  • Excellent factory setup (Cort is known for this)
  • Smooth fretwork
  • Comfortable neck profile
  • Lightweight and resonant
  • Stable die‑cast tuners

 

Aesthetics

The Open Pore Lightburst finish is stunning:

  • Natural wood grain on full display
  • Subtle burst that feels modern and classy
  • Minimalist rosette and binding
  • Boutique‑style simplicity


The Cort Core OC All Blackwood is a fantastic choice for players who want:

  • A modern, warm‑voiced acoustic
  • All‑solid construction without the premium price
  • A comfortable, expressive body shape
  • A guitar that excels at fingerstyle and melodic playing
  • A boutique look with real character

It’s one of the most underrated acoustics in its class and a brilliant option for home players, recording musicians, and anyone who appreciates tonewoods that age gracefully.
