An X-Series Built for Performance at Cort
For over 60 years, Cort has established itself with instruments offering a particularly competitive quality/price ratio. Within the range, the X series embodies the brand's most modern and aggressive side: sharp lines, speed-oriented ergonomics, and easy access to the upper frets to meet the expectations of rock and metal guitarists.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The Cort X200 is well suited for ambitious beginners as well as intermediate players seeking a versatile electric guitar capable of handling distortion without sacrificing comfort. It excels in rock, metal, hard rock, and shred thanks to its 24 frets and H-S-H configuration, while remaining comfortable for cleaner rhythm parts via the selector's intermediate positions.
The Sound
The poplar body delivers a balanced response, with present mids and a sharp attack, practical for defined rhythm playing. The maple neck enhances clarity and precision, while the jatoba fingerboard adds a slightly denser and more aggressive register, appreciated for note articulation. The Cort Powersound pickups in H-S-H configuration offer a high output on the humbuckers for distortion, and more brightness in the central single-coil position, all controlled by 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 5-position selector. The 2-point tremolo provides a smoother feel and expressive vibrato effects, perfect for modernizing lead playing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original string tension, prefer electric strings in 9-42 gauge (0.009" / 0.23 mm to 0.042" / 1.07 mm). A tuner, a jack cable, plectrums, and a strap are universal essentials for starting out and playing through an amp at rehearsals or at home.
