Cort Essence ES-GA4 Acoustic Electric Guitar – Natural Semi-Gloss

6-string Acoustic-electric Grand Auditorium Guitar with Solid Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, and Fishman Presys VT Pickup – Natural Semi Gloss

The Cort Essence GA4 is a versatile electro-acoustic that blends vintage tone with modern playability. Featuring a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it delivers a warm, open sound that feels aged from day one. The Grand Auditorium body shape offers a comfortable fit with balanced projection, ideal for a wide range of acoustic styles.

With elegant herringbone binding, a Venetian cutaway, and a responsive Fishman Presys VT system, this guitar is built to look great and sound even better on stage or in the studio. Bone nut and saddle components enhance sustain and tuning stability, while rosewood appointments complete a refined aesthetic.

Vintage tone from torrefied spruce

The Cort Essence GA4 features a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, treated using the Aged To Vintage (ATV) process. This carefully controlled torrefaction technique gives the guitar a mature, open tone that rivals vintage acoustics. Right out of the box, it sounds rich and resonant, with added stability that only improves over time.

Comfortable and versatile body shape

The Grand Auditorium body strikes a perfect balance between the boldness of a dreadnought and the intimacy of a concert guitar. With a body depth of 117mm and a lower bout width of 405mm, it suits both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The Venetian cutaway also makes upper fret access smooth and comfortable.

Clear amplified sound with Fishman electronics

Equipped with the Fishman Presys VT system and S-core pickup, the Essence GA4 delivers a natural, articulate sound when amplified. On stage or in the studio, your tone stays clear and dynamic with intuitive onboard controls that let you shape your sound easily.

Premium appointments for performance

From the genuine bone nut and saddle to the vintage-style open gear tuners, the Essence GA4 is designed for stable tuning and excellent sustain. Rosewood is used for the bridge and fingerboard, while ivory bridge pins with black dots and herringbone binding complete a classic, refined aesthetic.
