Together with a softer venetian cutaway, the Modern Concert shape also boasts great playing comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortguitars.com\/product\/item.php?ca_id=1020k0&amp;it_id=1641169711&amp;page=1&amp;lanOk=eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack02.jpg?resize=420%2C420&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack02.jpg?w=420&amp;ssl=1 420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack02.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack02.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dual Side Sound Ports<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of a conventional sound hole in the center of the body, the specifically placed dual sound ports on the sides affect the Helmholtz properties of the body and enhance the dynamics and the treble of the acoustic tone. It also allows the player to better monitor the natural sound of the guitar during performance while enabling the audience to hear the guitar as well. Meanwhile, since the top wood is free of sound holes, it is more resilient and resonant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortguitars.com\/product\/item.php?ca_id=1020k0&amp;it_id=1641169711&amp;page=1&amp;lanOk=eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack03.jpg?resize=420%2C420&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack03.jpg?w=420&amp;ssl=1 420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack03.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acousticguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/modernblack03.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ergo-A Asymmetric Neck Profile with Walnut Reinforced Neck<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A completely redesigned asymmetric neck profile is designed for Modern Black, giving experienced players and enthusiasts alike a comfortable ergonomic playing experience that is optimized for various playing styles.
