Cort G290 FAT II | Trans Black Burst
Cort VTH-77 Pickups - Cort CFA-III Tremolo & Locking Tuners - 12"-15.75" Compound Radius
Introducing the Cort G290 FAT II, an upgraded version of one of Cort's most celebrated guitars. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the G290 FAT II boasts several enhancements, including a roasted maple neck and fretboard, a black TUSQ nut, and luminlay side dots. However, it retains the key features that made the original G290 FAT so popular: the articulate and full-sounding Voiced Tone VTH77 pickup set, a versatile custom pickup wiring system, an Ergo-V neck, and a compound fretboard radius for improved playability, all wrapped up in Cort's signature superb build quality.
Crafted with an alder body for warmth and full-bodied tone, the addition of roasted maple for the neck and fingerboard adds a modern touch to the guitar's sound profile. The combination of these woods, along with a stunning flame maple top, delivers a balanced tone with bright highs and strong low-midrange projection, ideal for a wide range of musical genres and playing styles.
The VTH-77 pickups offer modern high output for today's energetic music, yet they also excel at producing classic rock and bluesy tones when dialed back, providing versatility for any musical endeavor. The simple yet effective control layout, including a custom-wired 5-way switch, enables players to easily access a variety of sounds while focusing on their music-making.
With a compound radius fretboard, transitioning from low-register chords to high-speed soloing is effortless, enhancing overall playability. The Ergo-V neck shape ensures comfort and ease of play across the entire neck, while locking tuners provide excellent tuning stability and facilitate quick string changes.
The use of TUSQ for the nut enhances tone and sustain, while the spoke nut Hotrod truss rod allows for precise adjustment of the neck bow, crucial for optimal playability. Additionally, luminlay side dot position marks make fretboard navigation easy, even on dimly lit stages.
In summary, the Cort G290 FAT II represents Cort's commitment to refining an already exceptional guitar, offering players an instrument that excels in tone, playability, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for discerning musicians.
