Overview

A powerhouse of playability and tone.

The Cort G290FAT II electric guitar is an upgraded version of the widely acclaimed G290 FAT, featuring new enhancements such as a roasted maple neck and fretboard, luminlay side dots, and a black TUSQ nut. Retaining the core elements that made the original popular, the G290FAT II boasts the articulate and dynamic Voiced Tone VTH77 pickup set, paired with a custom-wired 5-way switch for a wide tonal range. The flame maple top on the lightweight swamp ash body delivers a punchy sound with enhanced high-mids, while the compound radius fretboard and Ergo-V neck profile provide unparalleled playability and comfort.

Voiced Tone VTH77 Pickups for Versatile Sound

The G290FAT II is equipped with the Cort Voiced Tone VTH77 pickups, known for their high output and versatility. From modern high-energy music to classic rock and blues, these pickups offer a wide range of tones, ensuring you can explore various genres with ease. The custom-wired 5-way switch allows for sparkling single-coil sounds in positions 2 and 4, while delivering full-bodied humbucker tones in the other positions.

CFA-III Tremolo for Superior Sustain

Featuring the Cort CFA-III tremolo, the G290FAT II ensures improved sustain, faster attack, and a more balanced fundamental tone. The stainless steel saddles and solid steel block enhance the overall performance, making this tremolo system both durable and responsive, perfect for players seeking smooth vibrato effects and tuning stability.

Enhanced Playability with Compound Radius Fingerboard

The G290FAT II's compound radius fretboard (12"-15.75") makes it ideal for both chordal work in the lower register and fast soloing in the upper register. This design allows for easy string bending and high-speed playability, offering greater comfort for players of all styles. The Ergo-V neck profile further enhances the playing experience, providing more comfort across the entire neck.

Roasted Maple Neck and Premium Aesthetics

One of the standout features of the G290FAT II is its luxurious roasted maple neck and fretboard, which not only provide stability and durability but also add a striking visual element. The rich golden hue of the roasted maple, combined with the black luminlay side dots, ensures that this guitar is as beautiful as it is functional, making it a perfect choice for players who value both tone and aesthetics.
