I listened using high quality hifi headphones. I found the A8 to have a more pronounced and warmer mid-range when you played, more noticeable when strummed but not exclusively. I own the A6 and also the GA10 (both mahogany back/sides). My A6 is noticeably more articulate with ringing high notes than the GA10-but I've found that the lower end in both is very similar, well-defined but not boomy. I felt that the A8 in your video also similar in this respect to my A6 and GA10. I use DR Veritas strings on both and they sound good for a long time. Thanks for the review, and your previous ones. PS I decided to but the A8 before seeing your video and have one on order.
How has the experience been? I was hard pressed to choose between the A8 and OC8, but eventually went for the latter. Should arrive in a day or two, so I'll soon know if I've made a good choice.
Seems like both of us got it around the same time. And it's only gotten better since. Quite evenly balanced across the board, finger-picking is an absolute joy as expected. It's, in fact, how it takes meaty strumming into stride that really impressed me. How does it stack up against the A8?
why i don’t like the sound of these a series? i feel like i can connect more with Bromo guitars which basically far cheaper than these two. please give a feedback. i’m still very noob in this thing
Thank you John's music for the review. Your reviews are always helpful. I am considering A6. There was some buzz when chords were played. Was it due to setup and can be corrected? Is this made in China or Indonesia?
☑️ I just love the mahogany tonewood esthetic and sound in general and the A6 is no disappointment here ; but I'll take a master grade burst top any day and the tone was yes more Rosewood like , so both are great but I'd buy the A8 ❗️🤔 🥸 🙃
@@abhishekmukherjeelifestyle5117 definitely Gold, if you can afford or if the price is not much different The Core series is a barebones guitar with solid woods, the Gold series has better aesthetics, features etc
@@abhishekmukherjeelifestyle5117 also depends if you like the sound of Mahogany It's good if you are just playing guitar, for singing along, Spruce is definitely better
The comparison should have been made with p6 or p7. I have the P7JC and the quality is great. I own an A6 and it has problems with the truss rod, common with the tent. Very good sound on the Cort A6
You have made my day for me. Winning page! Well maintain you keep up well. Hope your views explode! Here is my help help! Keep posting, will come back for more goods.
@@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG I bought the A6 guitar, I wanted to have a grand auditorium on mahogany. The guitar sounds very good on the mahogany, I am very satisfied
My Cort gold a8 is the best! Very happy for my purchase!
Thank you for buying from us. 🙂

Glad we helped your decision. Cheers :)

I also bought an OC8 about 6 months ago. Very impressed. A luthier friend of my reckons it sounds very like an equivalent Martin@@PemaWangchuk12

I have a GA-10F, I found the bass is really lacking and not pronounced at all, and not being full solid, the resonance isn't great
I like how the A6 looks, but how the A8 sounds
I completely agree 😅
@@Minotskyi A8 has the natural color too FYI :)
Kindly make a review video on CORT GA-MEDX M-OP ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC GUITAR.

It is almost impossible to differentiate. Best to play with our own hands and listen.
Hi please make a video on various types of bridges on electric Guitar
Can you please do a spund comparison between Cort Gold A6 and Cort Gold A6 Bocote
th-cam.com/video/xJGnUeN5Rgo/w-d-xo.html
The A6 would be my tonal preference where I like the looks of the A8 better
I find the A8 more pleasing for strumming which would make it my choice. Great comparison. A very helpful review. Many thanks
I agree,but,that also make A6 too expensive for the lack of quality.I can buy Taylor,or Martin for that money!
@@bobymox I bought the A6 and it sounds great on strumming. I wanted to have the grand auditorium on mahogany too. I am very satisfied.
Please compare the cort gold d6 vs the d8
Gold a8 sound is DEEP compare to a6
hi john. can you guys review cort oc6 and oc8 (not nylon)
Would you please tell me the name of first song played? Very informative demo. Thanks a lot!
I think it is the intro of the song 'What If' by the band Creed
For the A8 guitar, how do I turn the tuner on and off? Thank you
You asked the same question on all of the videos about this guitar. And you always get the same answer.
Use your brain and figure it out.
Hi, is the top on the 2 guitars of different grade? I have not seen it mentioned anywhere that the top used in A8 is of master grade.
Marketing, better visual quality, acoustic quality is the same for both.
Another difference is the inlays markers on the fretboard..😁
Thank you John's music for the review. Your reviews are always helpful. I am considering A6. There was some buzz when chords were played. Was it due to setup and can be corrected? Is this made in China or Indonesia?
Glad we helped
Buzzing might be due to a slight setup issue or even the playing technique.
Yes it can be corrected.
All of gold series is from China.
What about this strings used ? Elixir? D’Addario?
Daddario EXP16
Adario
Could you compare the core oc guitars?
We sure will try. Awaiting the next shipment.
Please make a review for Faith apollo venus.
We don't deal in faith guitars and hence the review won't be possible. Apologies.

Do they come with no cut away and no electronics??
That model would be Gold D8 if u want dreadnought and Gold O8 if u want OM shape.
@@JohnsmusicIn Yea i say that.. Not sure whats the diff with the a8 and the o8 apart from the cut away..
@@endoffate5475 a8 is dreadnought and o8 is orchestra shape.
Please make A6 available asap🙏
We are awaiting the shipment. You can drop your enquiry on whatsapp or email and we will notify you as soon as its arrived.
@@JohnsmusicIn Sure..I will do that.
Worth the extra money for the PF?
Indeed. If you are looking for the sound A8 is offering.
@@JohnsmusicIn thx..tomorrow I’m going to the guitar shop to try both..i play only finger style..around 200 bucks difference..

Dunno if you got one, but if you can stretch your budget a bit, the Faith Apollo and Cort Core series are both outstanding

A8 nut width
I have Gold D6 and sounds more similar to gold a-6
🎸
Au moins on a le son tel que sans tous les artifices d’un enregistrement …
sounds very dry
It will. Coz we have not added any effects to it. The Purpose is that the viewer gets the actual sound without any processing.
Gold A8 sounds awful
It sounds way better played through an amplifier.
Clean your ears out.
Cort gold A8 is better than A6
Obviamente
A8 has better crisp
☑️ Go for tonewood you like , I prefer mahogany in general , it's less expensive , looks better to me , and is more balanced and dry in tone 😊
