Cort G290 FAT II (Bright Blue Burst) — a six-string electric guitar with a double-cutaway body. Its defining specifications include a HH pickup configuration, 22 frets and a 25.5″ (648mm) scale. It combines a tremolo for expressive pitch changes with controls that let you change textures within the same instrument.
Construction and materials
Body: Alder. Neck: Roasted Maple. Top: Flamed Maple (Veneer). Neck construction: Bolt-On. The cutaway design provides access to upper positions for melodic phrases and transitions from rhythm to lead playing.
Neck and playing feel
Fingerboard: Roasted Maple, with a 12″-15.75″ Compound Radius (R305~400) radius. Neck profile: Ergo V Neck Profile. The nut width is 42 mm. There are 22 frets; this determines the available upper register together with scale length and tuning.
The compound radius becomes flatter towards the upper frets. This combines a rounder surface for lower-position chords with geometry suited to bends and lead lines further up the neck. Set the action and neck relief for your own playing technique.
Pickups and controls
Pickups: Cort® Voiced Tone VTH77 Pickup Set. The HH layout uses neck and bridge humbuckers. Controls: 1-Volume, 1-Tone, 5-Way Super Switch.
The custom five-way circuit combines full humbucker tones with lighter sounds in positions 2 and 4. Change the selector and amplifier settings to move between heavy riffs and cleaner accompaniment.
Bridge and tuning hardware
Bridge: Cort® CFA-III Tremolo. Tuners: Cort® Staggered Locking Tuners.
The arm adds vibrato to chords and melodic phrases. Tremolo feel depends on string tension and spring balance. After restringing, check bridge position, tuning and intonation. Locking tuners, where fitted, simplify string clamping but do not replace a proper setup.
Choosing this guitar for your music
Two humbuckers provide a starting point for rock, hard rock and expressive lead parts. A clean channel and volume adjustments also support gentler accompaniment. Compare neck geometry, bridge type and pickup response using your own picking technique.
Connections and accessories
Connect with an instrument cable and an electric guitar amplifier. Explore guitar effects for additional sounds.
For regular practice, add a tuner, a strap and spare electric guitar strings.
