Cort L200ATV Acoustic Guitar
Cort Guitars has introduced the 200 ATV (Aged to Vintage)
Series of acoustic guitars, which includes the L200ATV. The
200 ATV guitars feature basic designs but key enhancements
that improve sound quality.
The L200ATV has a 1 3/4-in. nut width for easier finger-
style playing. The smaller, orchestra model body is a 1920s
design that delivers a sound that’s larger than its compact
size indicates, and its dynamic responsiveness enhances play-
ability. The L200ATV’s vintage tone is delivered through its
torrefied solid sitka spruce top and hand-scalloped X-bracing.
In the torrefaction process, the wood has been treated and
opens up more over time, resulting in the big, open tone of a
decades-old acoustic but delivered in a new instrument. The
back and sides are constructed of pau ferro and ebony was
used for the fretboard, bridge, and bridge pins.

replaced with seven new model lines – Red, Orange, Yellow,
Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
The Color Series models feature high-grade tonewoods

premium acoustic properties, a consistent ultra-thin finish,
and high-precision robotic polishing. In addition, all Color
Series guitars feature the Furch CNR System, a neck design
that guarantees lasting stability and allows the neck relief to
be adjusted with a higher degree of accuracy.
Each of the new Color Series model lines features a unique
combination of materials, finishes, and appointments. The
top-of-the-line Red series features high-grade tonewoods,
top and back tuning, unconventional adornments, and a
high-gloss finish.
