Cort Essence-OC4 Acoustic Guitar - Natural Semi-Gloss

The Essence Series offers a pure acoustic guitar experience. By focusing on core elements, we’ve crafted a guitar that delivers exceptional sound and playability at an affordable price. The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top produces a rich, warm tone, perfectly balanced by mahogany back and sides. The intricate herringbone rosette and purfling add visual appeal, while the Fishman preamp system ensures your sound remains clear and vibrant, even on stage. The Essence Series offers the perfect blend of value and performance to suit your style.

Aged to Vintage Top and Bracing
Using a special process called ATV (Aged To Vintage), we treat the solid Sitka spruce top and bracing to achieve the big, open tone of a decades-old, highly sought-after acoustic guitar. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone right out of the box, making the guitar more stable and resonant over time.

OM Cutaway Body Shape
The OM's compact size is perfect for players with a smaller body frame or those seeking playing comfort. Its bright and strong high-midrange emphasis makes it more suited for fingerpicking than strumming, which often requires more low-end. The Venetian cutaway on this model allows for easy access to the high frets.

The Perfect Wood Combination
Spruce offers an ideal balance of strength and flexibility, making it the most popular choice for acoustic guitar tops. Bright yet natural, with a strong and warm midrange, the beloved mahogany wood has been a standard for the back and sides of premium acoustics for many decades.
