The Cort Grand Regal GA1E is ideal for players looking for a sonically versatile yet low cost guitar. Built to Cort's high standards and with premium materials like a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, you can expect a rich tonality that features focused highs, punchy and pronounced mids, a warm lows.

The adaptable auditorium body shape is the jack-of-all-trades acoustic design, able to compete with dreadnoughts on volume while being far lighter and clearer on the treble notes. And with a Venetian cutaway providing you unhindered upper fret access, that flexibility extends to lead playing too! Even better - the GA1E is more than ready for live shows or DI recording thanks to Cort's CE304T preamp, which promises an organic reproduction of your acoustic's tone. For a guitar that can do anything - and sound great while doing it - the GA1E is simply a must-have model!

Auditorium flexibility

The auditorium body shape is known for its versatility, making it a popular choice amongst acoustic guitarists. It is smaller than dreadnoughts and has a more tapered waist, which results in a comfortable playing experience with less bulk. The overall size of the GA1E makes it ideal for players who prefer to sit while performing or for younger musicians who may find bigger guitars unwieldy.

But don't be fooled by its smaller size, the auditorium body still delivers a powerful sound that can compete with larger guitars in terms of volume and projection. It is also well-balanced, meaning you won't lose clarity in the treble notes even when strumming chords with all six strings. All of these qualities combined make the Cort Grand Regal GA1E a great choice for players who are looking for an acoustic guitar that can handle any genre or playing style.

Solid spruce and mahogany tonewoods

The Cort GA1E is crafted using high-quality tonewoods that give it a rich, resonant, and well-balanced tone. The solid spruce top is paired with mahogany back and sides to deliver a sonic character that sits comfortably in the mix while retaining its own distinct voice.

Spruce is known for its versatility - it can be bright or warm depending on the type of guitar body it's used on. In this case, the auditorium body shape helps to warm up the high-end frequencies and produce a fuller sound. The Grand Regal GA1E also features a mahogany neck that offers great sustain and stability, perfect for long playing sessions.

Extended playability

The Cort Grand Regal GA1E is designed with extended playability in mind. The Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the upper frets, allowing you to play higher notes without any obstructions. This makes it an ideal choice for soloists who want to add some lead sections into their songs or for players who like to experiment with extended chords and scales.

The wider string-spaced nut is another feature that makes this guitar great for players looking to explore new musical territories. With more space between the strings, you'll have more room to play complex chords and fingerpick without accidentally touching adjacent strings.

Cort CE304T preamp

The GA1E comes equipped with a Cort CE304T preamp that provides you with everything you need for live performances or recording. It boasts an onboard 3-band EQ, phase switch, and volume control, which allow for precise tonal shaping and feedback control. You also get a built-in tuner so you can stay in tune no matter where you're playing.

But the best part about the Cort CE304T preamp is that it promises an organic reproduction of your acoustic guitar's natural tone. This means you can plug in and play without losing any of the warm, resonant qualities that make this guitar so special. Whether you're playing an intimate gig or recording in a professional studio, the GA1E's preamp has got you covered.
