Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cort’s G290FAT II is a right-handed, double-cutaway electric guitar with a Transparent Black Burst finish, a swamp ash body topped with flamed maple, and a roasted maple neck and fingerboard. The VTH77 humbuckers run through a custom-wired five-way switch: positions 2 and 4 offer single-coil sounds, while the remaining settings retain humbucker voices. A CFA-III tremolo, locking tuners, and a compound-radius fingerboard make its hardware and playing layout central to the design.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between humbucker settings and the single-coil sounds available in switch positions 2 and 4.
- Chord work lower on the neck and faster soloing higher up the compound-radius fingerboard.
- Using vibrato effects with the CFA-III tremolo system.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed model.
