The G Series: Cort's Reinterpretation of the "Vintage" Spirit
Manufactured by Cort, a brand recognized for its excellent value for decades, the G series revisits the double cutaway aesthetic with a more contemporary approach. The G290 FAT II fits this philosophy: a familiar silhouette enriched with wood choices and performance-oriented hardware, for an electric guitar comfortable both in rhythm and lead playing.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The Cort G290 FAT II is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile, comfortable guitar ready for stage or studio. The 5-position selector allows quick switching from precise clean tones to thicker overdrives, making it suitable for rock, blues, pop, funk, and fusion. The CFA-III vibrato adds a true palette of expressiveness for nuances, open chords, and lead lines.
Sound
The sassafras body generally offers a balance between warmth and definition, while the flamed maple top often provides added attack and clarity in the upper spectrum. The roasted maple neck and fingerboard contribute to a snappier response and a very direct playing feel. With its 2 Voiced Tone VTH-77 pickups and simple electronics (volume, tone, 5-position selector), the G290 FAT II is designed to remain clear in a mix, with great dynamics both with a pick and fingerstyle, and good versatility depending on amp and gain settings.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel, opt for a set of electric strings with a 9-42 gauge (such as the factory-installed D'Addario EXL-120). A standard strap is also a safe choice for comfort during rehearsals and on stage.
