Cort G290

Made in Indonesia, the Cort G-290 is a great guitar stratocaster type whose characteristics are enough to make many green with envy more expensive brand:

- Ash body with flamed maple top. The translucent varnish showing the wood grain, at first glance, this guitar requires both its simplicity and beauty of a rare elegance.
- Maple neck "bird's eye" the most beautiful effect.
- Rosewood fingerboard with Abalone benchmark.
- 22 frets
- Locking Tuners "Spertzel."
- Micro Kit EMG (two EMG SA and EMG 85)
- Vibrato type wilkinson CFA-3
- 1 volume, 1 tone, 1 split for the humbucker, 5-position.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomic handle is one of the highlights of this guitar. used to handle relatively thin "Ibanez" type, I was surprised by the comfort and taking instant hand. access to acute is a breeze. rather light, perfect for long hours of repeats or frenzied lives. Your back will thank you.

In terms of the EMG sound kit (similar configuration steve lukather) works wonders and even if some critics blame their lack of heat, Cort demonstrates a versatility foolproof. Jazz big hard rock / metal, no style resist.

SOUNDS

Shred through the blues, funk and rock stoner, I plugged into an orange micro terror head and the sound is fabulous. this guitar fills me in every way.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost two years and I never tire. Initially, I had thrown my vested on custom G (latest catalog and identical in all respects except that the finish is sunburst-type). Stumbled upon it on the net, the G-290 has been removed from the catalog to make room for the custom. When I inquired with an authorized dealer, he remained two and it was available at a price of 530 euro (half the price of the custom).
Ultimately, if you are looking for a versatile instrument that comes out of beaten paths, the Cort G-290 is to be considered. If you find one used, you throw it!

It has a guitar made in Korea, with an easel CFA3, Sperzel locking mechanics (super convenient and very good performance agreement). An ash body with a maple top dappled.

The maple neck with rosewood fingerboard Mouchette is neither too thin nor too wide nor too thick, go anywhere ...

21 frets, neither too large nor too small.

Microphones, a set 2 single 1 double EMG SA-SA-89, 89 is splittable.

One volume, one tone is the trick.

UTILIZATION

Mache super nice, even with my hands loggers.

Achi-known form stratabound, slightly modified, with cutout behind the body to accommodate the abs!!

Access to acute is not particularly easy, bolt-on neck does not help.

SOUNDS

This guitar accompanied me a good time, I liked its versatility, we could do so much variety, funk (intermediate positions are top) but also to tickle the heavy with the double 89.

I played a Peavey Valveking 112 Blackstar HT5 and, with the two we heard the different sounds good microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept 3 years, then sold to pay me another guitar.

I loved its playability and versatility.

After that, it will never be like a strat or ESP, we can not be versatile and excellent on a single sound.

Model very unknown, sold more than 700 euros new, is easily the second-hand market at half price.

I can remake that choice in the future as spare.

Coren, Wilkinson trem block with Spertzel, 22 frets, SSH EMG active tone 1vol + 1 split, slecteur 5 positions

UTILIZATION

Lgre, beautiful, very easy run, good ergonomics. But the abalone inserts are too dark and not very visible. Other default, up to 9-46, the dbattement rglage of the harmonic limit of low E. Not tragic, but a little dcevant next to the other qualities. Cort could also have a prvoir hatch for the battery, instead of requiring dvisser the 6 screws from the plate.

SOUNDS

Super sonic versatility. I do quite a bit, and sounds are beautiful and especially prcis has does not bleed, even pushing the saturations. I play, depending on the neighborhood of tolrance Roland Micro Cube Marshall 30W and Korg Pandora PX5D.

OVERALL OPINION

So I for two months, various other APRS trials with a Cort X6 (dj a lot). Tiny regret, I prfr a Floyd, but Wilkinson is even easier when rgler and enough for me. The pickups are good trs.
I love his lgret (from my old X6). Flawless finish, except my little trouble with abalone inserts. Report qualitprix unbeatable, especially in time.
