Cort Gold A6 Review - I should have tried these guitars years ago...

🎸► Cort Gold A6 Guitar Review & Unboxing - Great Guitar At A Great Price
📕► FREE Chord & Songwriting Guitar eBook - go.guitarzero2hero.com/ebook/
In this video I'll be unboxing and testing out a brand that I've known about for years but have never actually tried, and that's Cort - who are one of the biggest guitar manufacturers in the world. The particular model in this video is the Cort Gold A6 and after using the guitar exclusively for 2 weeks, I share my thoughts and impressions. Bottom line - it's an amazing guitar that's priced incredibly well considering the quality and sound you get.

I love videos like this. Your lessons have really helped me improve a lot over the past year, and your channel is great. I don't pretend to know much about guitar manufacturers, but hearing you talk about it is so interesting. Your love for the instrument and music shows with every video.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Aw thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@bianckinitan]

I've been eyeing this brand for years now! Glad to know it's worth it

[@MC-il2ge]

Fantastic review Dave. They are surely great guitars! I absolutely love my Cort Gold P8.....what a glorious tone.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Thanks!

[@CampfireGuitarHero]

Cort mini (traveller) was the guitar that got me back into guitars after a 20 yr hiatus. It was a no frills unit but it got me hooked back into playing, so fond memories of Cort.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Their mini guitars look great!

[@alizekc231]

It has been a dream guitar of mine for 2 years. I hope I own this beauty soon. Great review ❤

[@jkirkham6574]

Hi Dave I’m a big fan of your videos and have signed up on your course too. Just bought one of these Corts. Thanks for the review. Congratulations on your marriage. Joy 🤩

[@BreadLightPray_EWFMgtr]

☑️ got the gold a6 I'm with you all the way on all aspects of your informative review 👍 a6 is insanely value packed loved the torrified top 😊 chose mine from a fresh offering of a6 and oc6 via peach UK ; went for the a6 based solely on its gorgeous flame mahogany back wood , discovered afterward the a6 had the wider neck than the oc6 much to my fingerstyle play delight , normally I would go for an OM over an auditorium model body but glad I chose the auditorium ❗️😊

[@krisartevepiaful]

i always watch your videos help me to improve and learned base in your accent seems like you live he in Australia aswell :)

[@suleymanalpkatar6054]

Dave, I wanna thank you. I have to wait to buy an guitar for now and because of that every morning I listen to your acoustic covers and they make me happier for the day. (Btw, can you make Most Girls guitar tutorial for Haiz fans out there?)

[@priyadas4366]

An amazing sounding guitar! Btw, what's your top 3 acoustic guitar?

I'm happy for you 😃

[@prithvisingha]

Great review. What would you suggest is a better buy- the cort A6 or the Epiphone inspired by Gibson (j45, hummingbird).

[@solman2460]

That's a really nice looking guitar. The tone is awesome as well! May I ask what string gauge do you usually use on your acoustic guitars? Love your videos man, keep it up!

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Thanks man! I usually use a light gauge .012 - .053

[@iLike12gauge]

@@GuitarZero2Hero since when was .012 light gauge 💀 I use 0.11. .012 hurts to much and .010 is to light.

[@fengcarlos]

Amazing review, would you take this guitar over the Orangewood Sage? They both have almost the same spec and price. Thanks

[@ryanashleyofficial]

Hey love your stuff, could you review Cort Earth Series?

[@leslieseabury4138]

I have had the Pau Ferro version for 6 months now, couldn't be more pleased, fantastic tone and playability. For people that like to pay a premium for a big name on the headstock or, even more stupidly, care about which country it was produced, go ahead and waste your money.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Well said!

[@hoompaloompaa]

i have the d8 and it sounds really amazing

[@Smithy67]

Hi Dave I loved the video and really enjoy the channel. Looks a great guitar. But I do have a question which I don't think you addressed, which is: Did you change the strings on the guitar from when you unboxed? What were the strings on it when it was new? What strings did you put on it, if you did change them? Cheers

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Didn’t change the strings on this - they come stock with D’addario EXP16

[@andreiV2023]

Hey brother you must try the Clifton Guitar From the Philippines the sound of the guitar is super solid I hope you make a video for Clifton guitar unboxing❤️

[@danielguitar5150]

How would you rank this guitar against the orange wood stuff? Can you rank them in order of preferred models?

[@olivierctn6428]

Merci pour toutes vos vidéos très bien faites. What is the name of the music you are playing at 12 mn 22 in the vidéo ? It is super

[@huskyvoid]

I am late with this question, but are the strings on the guitar in the video the default ones from Cort? Great review btw :)

[@rudyroo8435]

I wonder if you can upload guitar shot out/ comparison between CORT A6 vs ORANGEWOOD CLEO.. That would be very interesting match up.

[@michaeldowd2039]

Congrats! Looks like the perfect guitar to do a tutorial of john mayer's everything you'll ever be 👍

[@England66hs]

Please give your opinion on this guitar and Taylor 114. About same price, which one should I get

[@dimitri043]

I have bought a Gold series D8 and I absolutely love it. I saw in the specifications that it has a doublelock neck joint. I was wondering how this works. Is the dovetail glued in or not? Is it just screwed in by one screw or more screws?

[@haotiansu5118]

Hey Dave! Have you ever heard of a guitar brand named Kempa? Kempa also makes great guitars and I sincerely hope that you'll test one Kempa Guitar some day!

[@aussiecue]

Although the bridges on these are a great design with the step down ensuring good break angle. They have a buzz making flaw. The string break angle from the saddle to the pin entry point is interrupted by the step down itself. Particulary on the bottom and high E because of the way it curves. . It you look at them sideways you can see two break angles or just touching depending on the original set up of the saddle. Lowering the saddle makes it worse. I solved this problem on my A8 by sanding little rounded slots so the break angle is clear from top of the saddle to the entry of the pin slot. I sanded them evenly on all six strings so it looks like they were meant to be there,,, Of which they were meant to be there! Great guitar though.

[@kendrinkard1921]

Funny I haven't heard about Cort b4.It is beautiful. I have a Canadian Seagull, but I'm barely intermediate.

[@sickstatus9451]

Inspiration.!!!

[@MegaGecas]

Good day, Dave. Love your vids. Please try Furch guitar one day. You’ll be amazed. Greetings from LTU.

Hi, Dave. Which song are you playing during the first impression at 3:15?

[@jaredhuerta7264]

hey dave i've been playing a classic guitar for 3 years now and i want to change to a cort ap 550m Op parlor all mahogany guitar do you think is a good option?

[@1redgate8]

I have a Cort Gold OC6 with mic blend system...the one that gelled with me over all the others I tried.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Hope you’re enjoying it! :)

[@1redgate8]

@@GuitarZero2Hero have been for the last 18 months... The OC is perfect for me. It is a bit shallower, which is great as I have a shoulder issue. Thank you for continuing to put up quality tutorials as well!

[@Isofile]

Would you consider this guitar a stage performer and strummer? Or should I rather choose a dreadnought for that purpose like the Yamaha A3M?

[@glorioskiola]

Have you checked out Eastman guitars? They are fantastic (especially considering the relatively low cost).

[@beautymukherjee8555]

can u suggest between little cj and gold oc 6 of corts..which one would be the best value for money..pls answer

[@STEVENV0]

I want to know if this guitar compare with taylor 200,100 series , which will be better.

[@richforestall1459]

Looking at the headstock it looks like my Orangewood Echo Live, maybe Cort makes Orangewood guitars.

[@HL-OOI]

Fishman can’t even put a maker on the dials..just got the A8 today..😁

[@jojomensah]

This guitar is amazing 😍

[@georgipetkov2793]

Would you mind sharing what strings you use on the guitars you play? 0.012 or 0.011 ?

[@gilliss6]

Any string buzzing? Particluarly on the low E when barring an FMaj?

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

They haven't been around that long. I'm looking for a 2nd hand 06 now. Think they came out in 2019.

[@mihirvinzuda76]

You should try Kepma Guitars...!!

[@ashlin112]

If you ever get the chance, you should try out the higher-end Yamaha acoustics and electrics. They're an insane value for the money!

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Will see if I can try some in the future. Even their low end models really impressed me!

Gday Dave. Hope you are well. Do you recommend this Taylor over a Gibson J45 or Martin D28? Cheers Mate.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

I’d suggest you try all 3 for yourself and make your own decision. All 3 are amazing.

[@His0ka]

Can you make a tutorial for WildArms- into the Wilderness?

[@Skateuniverses]

I got a 20 year old cort without a cutaway and without massive Woods. I really want to get Back into playing After 15 years without and by the time I mastered some cool Songs I intend to buy this Guitar. It has all the Features I want without being as expansive as a Taylor or a Martin which might still be better, but with my amount of time playing I dont need a 2000+ € Guitar. So the cort it will be.
