Description

OMB tech mounted on the GA5F acoustic guitar, will take your playing experience to a whole new level of fun, challenge your imagination and develop your creativity as a musician.
With the OMB tech you can enjoy the accompaniment of a full size virtual band, following your chord progression in real time without changing the way you play and your original guitar sound.
You can control all parts of the band – style, mix, tempo, drum fill, record and more while you are playing.
You could also play different solo sounds i.e. violin, sax, organs, vocals, synth, from your iPad /iPhone, DAW or favorite keyboard.
The combination of the OMB technology with the beautiful sound and touch of the GA5F inspires your playing like never before.

The Cort Grand Regal Acoustic GA5F is bold, attractive, and supremely versatile. Sporting an all-koa finish, it displays a stunning natural grain pattern together with warm and balanced tones. Those tones strike the perfect blend of a larger and smaller acoustics thanks to the modern Auditorium shape. Designed to sit between a dreadnought and Grand Concert in size, this easy-playing form is the perfect performance workhorse – equally suited to strumming, fingerpicking and flatpicking.

 

Featuring koa back and sides, together with a solid spruce top with koa veneer, the GA5F promises rich and warm tones – with a defined high-end sparkle and bold mid-range. Its solid spruce top allows for robust projection and volume, but for those times you need a bit extra there’s the advanced Fishman electronics. They reproduce the natural character of the GA5F, together with EQ and phase options for sound-sculpting. Complete with premium appointments like an ovangkol fretboard, genuine bone nut and saddle, and ebony bridge pins for enhanced resonance and sustain – the GA5F is the ideal “do-anything” acoustic for modern players

Full Description

Auditorium Cutaway Body:

The Cort Grand Regal Acoustic GA5F features a body shape known as the Grand Auditorium, which strikes a perfect balance between the larger Dreadnought and the more intimate Grand Concert. With a body depth of 117mm (4 5/8″), an upper bout width of 292mm (11 1/2″), and a lower bout width of 405mm (16″), this guitar is designed to provide exceptional versatility. Whether you prefer strumming and flatpicking or fingerstyle playing, the Grand Regal can accommodate a variety of playing styles. Its well-balanced tone and projection make it an excellent choice for the versatile acoustic player who seeks a single guitar that can deliver a range of sounds.

Genuine Bone Nut & Saddle:

Crafted from water buffalo bone, the nut and saddle of the Grand Regal GA5F ensure the most natural and transparent transfer of string vibrational energy into the body and neck. This material is renowned for its ability to enhance the sustain and resonance of the guitar, resulting in a rich and dynamic tone. The use of bone also contributes to the instrument’s longevity, providing exceptional durability and resistance to wear. With the authentic bone nut and saddle, you can expect a guitar that not only performs at its best but also delivers a beautifully balanced and resonant sound.

45㎜(1 ¾”) Nut Width:

The Cort Grand Regal GA5F boasts a slightly wider nut width of 45mm (1 ¾”). This wider spacing between the strings makes it easier for fingerstyle players to navigate the fretboard without sacrificing comfort or accuracy. Whether you’re executing complex chord formations or intricate fingerpicking patterns, the wider nut width offers a generous amount of space for your fingers to maneuver. You’ll enjoy increased precision and control, allowing you to fully express your musicality and artistry.

Ebony Bridge Pins:

In addition to the bone saddle, the Grand Regal Series is equipped with ebony bridge pins. These pins contribute to the guitar’s overall tonal excellence by enhancing string vibration and resonance. Ebony is a dense and durable wood known for its ability to transmit vibrations effectively, resulting in a more natural and lush sound. With the combination of the bone saddle and ebony bridge pins, the Grand Regal GA5F offers an enhanced level of tonal clarity, projection, and sustain. Prepare to experience an exceptional instrument that produces a rich and vibrant acoustic sound.

Fishman® Presys EQ:

The Cort Grand Regal GA5F comes fitted with the Fishman® Presys electronics system, providing you with a wide range of sonic possibilities. The system features a 3-band EQ, LED tuner, and Phase control, allowing you to tailor your sound to suit different playing situations or amplification needs.
