Cort X700 Mutility II Grey

The Cort X Series: Modern Performance and "High Gain" DNA

For over 60 years, Cort has developed guitars known for their excellent value, and the X series clearly follows this approach: a sleek aesthetic, pronounced contours, and an optimized neck/body joint for easy access to the upper frets. The X700 Mutility II is aimed at guitarists seeking a decidedly modern platform designed for precision and consistency, even with tight chords and fast attacks.

Who is the X700 Mutility II for?

This electric guitar primarily targets intermediate to expert players looking for a fast, stable instrument oriented towards saturated music styles. It excels in metal (modern, prog, djent), hard rock, and fusion, but remains relevant whenever clarity in the low end and precise palm-muted articulation are required. The jumbo frets and multiscale design facilitate bends, fast runs, and intonation across the entire neck.

Sound

The basswood body provides a balanced response with present mids and a clear attack, ideal for heavy distortion without becoming muddy. The torrefied maple and walnut neck combined with a torrefied maple fingerboard promotes a fast playing feel and sharp definition, especially appreciated when downtuning or stacking gain. The two Fishman Fluence Open Core humbuckers deliver a precise, modern signal, while the simple and effective electronics (1 volume, 1 push-pull tone, 5-way selector) allow you to navigate multiple pickup combinations to adapt the tone from massive riffs to more cutting leads. The individual saddle bridge with through-body strings enhances stability and note sustain with a very direct attack.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, a set of D'Addario EXL 110 strings is a safe choice (this is the factory-installed model on this guitar). A good quality 6.35 mm jack cable and some picks suited for rhythmic playing (firm attack) perfectly complement the setup. The guitar comes with a gig bag, convenient for travel and rehearsals.
