The Cort G290 Fat II in Trans Black Burst builds on the success of its predecessor by offering even more top notch specs. New additions include the roasted maple neck and fingerboard and a sassafras body, all of which are great choices. A Graph Tech TUSQ nut keeps the tone and playability to a high level. Thankfully Cort have kept some of the much loved features from the previous version, so you still get the super comfortable Ergo-V neck profile, compound radius and locking tuners. If you care about performance and style then the G290 Fat II is well worth your consideration.
If you want a premium playing experience and to reap the benefits of a more stable construction then this is the way to go. The roasted maple neck and fingerboard also look stunning with their caramel-style colouring and being more resilient to changes in humidity make it an excellent choice for the touring musician.
Further enhancing the stage-ready capabilities of the G290 Fat II, the Luminlay side dots are your new best friend in low light environments. Want to make sure that you nail that atmospheric intro before the stage lights and full band kick in? These will let you see your fret position in the dark and they look pretty darn cool too!
While the G290 Fat II leans more towards those who play modern and heavier styles of music, the Voice Tone VTH-77 pickups have a lot of dynamic range and are far from being a one trick pony. Proof of this is the 5 Way Switch which gives access to the Custom Wired Electronics. Positions 2 and 4 offer up clear and authentic single-coil sounds for a tonal range that can cover almost anything.
