The Cort D8 Gold Series dreadnought acoustic guitar delivers a bold, resonant tone that inspires you to play for hours. Featuring an Aged to Vintage torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, solid pau ferro back and sides and a walnut-reinforced mahogany neck, the D8 Gold is built from premium tonewoods selected for their musicality. The sonically enhanced UV finish protects the wood while allowing it to breathe freely for optimal resonance. Plug in the D8 Gold's Fishman Presys Blend pickup to amplify your acoustic sound or blend in electric tones.

Aged to Vintage Top Unlocks Vintage Tone

The D8 Gold's solid Sitka spruce top goes through an Aged to Vintage torrefaction process that chemically transforms the wood to open up the pores, simulating the tonal evolution of a well-played vintage instrument. The result is a broad tonal range with rich, complex overtones and a singing sustain that inspires nuanced playing. Strum bold, ringing chords or delicately fingerpick melodic lines—the Aged to Vintage top handles it all with a refined, seasoned voice.

Solid Wood Construction Projects Powerfully

The D8 Gold's all-solid-wood build, including solid pau ferro back and sides and a solid mahogany neck, gives this guitar a bold, resonant voice that fills rooms with lush, ringing overtones. Pau ferro, a tonewood similar to rosewood, provides a clear, focused bass, warm midrange and crisp treble. The solid mahogany neck enhances sustain and resonance. Whether strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies, the D8 Gold projects with power and depth.

Fishman Presys Blend Pickup Amplifies Your Sound

The D8 Gold comes equipped with a Fishman Presys Blend pickup for amplifying your acoustic tone or blending in electric sounds. The Presys Blend system has an undersaddle piezo pickup for an authentic acoustic sound as well as a condenser microphone for capturing the natural resonance of the guitar's body. Blend the two pickup signals to create lush, layered tones or adjust the EQ for a variety of timbres to suit any musical situation. The Presys Blend preamp includes a built-in tuner to keep you in tune when performing live.

Premium Playability and Appointments

The D8 Gold's comfortable mahogany neck, smooth ebony fingerboard and hand-rolled fret edges provide a premium playing experience. Grover tuners keep the guitar accurately in tune through heavy playing. Gold die-cast tuner keys and bridge pins add a touch of elegance. For bold, nuanced dreadnought tone and deluxe appointments at an affordable price, you can't beat the Cort D8 Gold Series acoustic guitar.
