Cort KX508MS Multi Scale II 8-String Electric Guitar (Mariana Blue Burst)
The new Grand Regal Series from Cort is based on the popular Grand Auditorium body shape that sits right in between the dreadnought and concert-size shapes for a full but balanced sound. The 45mm nut width also makes it ideal for fingerstyle playing. Offered in various models with solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides, solid European spruce top with Madagascar rosewood back and sides and solid red cedar top with blackwood back and sides, the Grand Regal Series offers variety of choices to suit virtually any musical style and taste.
GRAND AUDITORIUM CUTAWAY BODY
With dimensions of 93*112mm body depth, upper bout width at 292mm and lower bout width at 405mm, the Grand Regal’s body size is perfectly in between the large Dreadnought and the more intimate Grand Concert. This makes the Grand Regal ideal for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle playing and suits the versatile acoustic player who prefers to have one guitar to cover a variety of sounds and playing styles.
SOLID EUROPEAN SPRUCE TOP
With bell-like clarity over a broad sonic spectrum, the solid European spruce top’s transparent character is ideal for both sensitive fingerstyle playing and relaxed strumming techniques. The richness of ethereal overtones is the defining essence of this premium sought-after wood featured on this model.
GENUINE BONE NUT & SADDLE
Crafted out of water buffalo bone for the most natural and transparent transfer of string vibrational energy into the body and neck.
1 ¾” (45MM) NUT WIDTH
A slightly wider nut width that makes it easier for fingerstyle playing.
MADAGASCAR ROSEWOOD BACK & SIDES
Very similar in look and sonic character as Brazilian rosewood, the Madagascar rosewood has reddish grains which help it stand out from various rosewood species. Brighter with less bass than Indian rosewood, the Madagascar features more high-end presence and sparkle with more liveliness and immediate tactile response
EBONY BRIDGE PIN
To complement the bone saddle, the Grand Regal Series features ebony bridge pins for enhanced string vibration and a more natural and lush sound.
FISHMAN PRESYS EQ
3-Band EQ, LED Tuner, and Phase control offers sonic flexibility as well as convenience for a variety of playing situations where amplification is needed.
SONICALLY ENHANCED UV FINISH
The high-tech finish is strong and resistant to scratches while being lightweight to improve the natural acoustic resonance of the body for a full-bodied and rich tone.
3/4 Size Mini Dreadnought
The smaller size makes it ideal for the mobile musician or for the casual hobbyist who wants to take a good-sounding acoustic on vacation or business travel. The 3/4 size also suits female players and children alike. Body depth is 82*101mm.
In the Classic TC you will find an instrument that has a timeless classic design, but with just the right elements of evolution. Painstakingly designed by Hugh Manson and his Manson Guitar Works team in the UK, the Classic TC elicits passion as soon as you strap it on. Below you can explore the careful steps taken to make this perfectly evolved classic.
ERGONOMIC BODY CONTOUR
The body styling on the MS Series guitars was designed by Hugh Manson, with him considering each detail for these instruments. Both comfort and appearance was enhanced with an elegantly contoured arm cut on the top. The back has a "tummy cut" as a key comfort evolution feature. This modification to the back has been carefully laid out on the bodies of the MS guitars for maximum comfort without removing unnecessary amounts of wood. The lines of the Manson designed body are graceful for aesthetic beauty as well as for ergonomic considerations.
CONTROL PLATE & HARDWARE
Often overlooked, the control plate and hardware not only provide functionality but contribute significantly to the sound of the guitar as well as enhanced playing experience. The blade 3-way switch so common on guitars of this style has been replaced with a toggle switch. Even the exact travel of the switch was precisely defined by Mr. Manson to maximize playability. The bridge selected for the Classic TC has six individual saddles designed to enhance intonation and string height adjustment.
MANSON T SINGLE COIL PICKUP SET
Hugh set a high standard for the pickups for the Classic TC. As he does on all of his instruments he designed and voiced the pickups for this specific instrument. He demanded that the pickups go beyond just being the expected classic sonic profile. At the Manson Guitar Works UK headquarters where the Classic TC was designed and came to life, the team wanted to rise to the challenge of creating a pickup set that could both cover the classic vintage tones you might expect adding a nod to modernity.
SPOKE NUT HOT-ROD TRUSS ROD
The spoke nut hotrod truss rod ensures smooth and precise setting of the neck bow. Often overlooked by many guitarists, the neck bow (or relief) is very critical for the best possible playability. This new truss rod adjustment feature allows the player to dial in the exact amount of neck bow depending the player’s technique and playing style. Whether you are a legato fusion player with a light touch or a Texas blues master who digs hard into the strings in the lower register, this new truss rod will allow you to dial in the exact amount of bow to suit your style.
