Cort CJ Retro Jumbo Electro Acoustic, Vintage Sunburst Matt

Full Description

Big, bold jumbo tone

The Cort CJ Retro Jumbo Electro Acoustic delivers the unmistakable sound of a full-sized jumbo body. Known for its deep low end and powerful projection, the jumbo shape makes this guitar ideal for strong strumming, punchy rhythms and big acoustic performances. The large soundboard and internal air volume provide a naturally loud and resonant character, filling the room with warm, open tones. Perfect for leading a band or playing solo, the jumbo body ensures your playing stands out with depth and richness. It’s a guitar that thrives in both unplugged and amplified settings, delivering strong acoustic presence with every chord and note.

Retro looks with modern build

Vintage style meets modern craftsmanship in the CJ Retro’s eye-catching aesthetic. From its satin Vintage Sunburst finish to the white body binding and dual rectangular fingerboard inlays, every detail echoes a classic acoustic era. Open gear nickel tuners not only complete the retro look but also provide reliable tuning stability. The triangle neck heel and Cort’s signature headstock design add unique touches that set this model apart. It's not just about looks either – the build quality is exceptional, with a dovetail neck joint for maximum resonance and long-term durability. This guitar blends nostalgic charm with dependable construction, letting you unleash powerful acoustic tones.

Fishman electronics with vintage character

Equipped with a Fishman Neo-D magnetic humbucker and VTB EQ system, the CJ Retro offers an authentic, warm plugged-in tone. The Neo-D pickup captures a full, rich sound with minimal noise and works beautifully with the naturally resonant jumbo body. The top-mounted VTB EQ makes it easy to shape your tone on the fly, with intuitive controls that are simple to access mid-performance. This combination delivers a vintage-voiced amplified tone that retains clarity and body, making it ideal for live use or recording sessions. Playing through a PA or acoustic amp reveals a responsive, balanced sound that holds its own in any setting.

Comfortable playability and reliable feel

Despite its bold voice, the CJ Retro is designed for comfort and ease of play. The C-shaped Mahogany neck fits naturally in the hand, offering a comfortable grip during chord work and lead runs alike. A 25.5" scale length and 15.75" fingerboard radius strike the perfect balance between string tension and smooth playability. Laurel is used for both the fingerboard and bridge, offering a responsive playing surface and stable tonal foundation. With 20 frets, coated strings, and a dual-action truss rod, this guitar maintains a dependable feel across different environments and playing styles. It’s a reliable workhorse with a vintage soul, ready for stage, studio or home sessions.
