Cort Flow OC - natural satin

The Flow Series is the result of expertly carried out research and tests to launch an innovative guitar series most suited for fingerstyle artists and enthusiasts. The OM body sized CORT Flow OC features a 25.5”(648mm) neck scale with 1 3/4”(44.5mm) nut width widely regarded as the ‘golden standard’ among fingerstyle players for its optimal string spacing and string tension. And with its completely redesigned asymmetric neck profile, the playing experience is more comfortable yet faster and facilitates more versatility than ever. The solid red cedar top combined with solid- mahogany back and sides provides deep and warm lows and mids with clean tone definition in the highs, and the use of L.R. Baggs® Anthem dual source system ensures lively and natural tones for any style of playing when plugged in.

Compared to the various species of spruce, cedar is softer and has less density for a very responsive feel and an open sound. Tonally, it is darker than spruce and has a strong and rich midrange for warm fundamentals and bright overtones. Cedar can get loud with even light picking attack and touch, making it ideal for fingerstyle and classical guitar playing. When paired with mahogany, the deep warmth in the low-mids is enhanced while the top-end remains sweet and clean.

The OM’s compact size is ideal for players with a small body frame or seeking playing comfort. The bright and stronger high-midrange emphasis is better suited for fingerpicking than strumming, which often requires more low-end. The Venetian cutaway on this model allows easy access to the high frets.

The shaping and treatment of guitar’s edges have a big impact on comfort and performance. On Flow-OC, the sharp edges on the body, fretboard and frets are all hand-rolled to make them round, smooth and ultra- comfortable to touch and play. This process is highly complex and time-consuming and requires the skilled workmanship of experienced craftsmen. With its main focus on fingerstyle players, the Flow-OC features this enhancement typically reserved for much higher priced instruments.
