Cort X100 (Open Pore Black) — a six-string electric guitar with a double-cutaway body. Its defining specifications include a HH pickup configuration, 24 (nickel silver, Medium) 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: Meranti. Neck: Hard Maple. 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: Jatoba, with a 15.75″ (R400) radius. There are 24 (nickel silver, Medium) frets; this determines the available upper register together with scale length and tuning.

A constant fingerboard radius keeps the same cross-sectional curve along the neck. Compare it together with nut width and string height: those dimensions work together to shape the feel of chords, bends and position changes.

Pickups and controls

Pickups: Cort® Powersound Pickup Set. The HH layout uses neck and bridge humbuckers. Controls: 1-Volume, 1-Tone, 3-Way Switch.

Different pickup positions help match the attack to rhythm or lead parts. Compare them with the same amplifier settings, then use volume, tone and picking strength to shape the dynamics of the passage.

Bridge and tuning hardware

Bridge: 6-Point Tremolo. Tuners: Die-Cast.

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.
