Cort G290 FAT II - Antique Violin Sunburst

One of the most acclaimed and sought-after guitars Cort offers, the award-winning G290 FAT receives a handful of updates, including the long-awaited roasted maple neck and fingerboard, an additional color option, a black TUSQ nut, and Luminlay side dots. However, the key features that originally made the G290 FAT popular remain unchanged, including the full-sounding and articulate Voiced Tone VTH77 pickup set combined with a highly versatile custom pickup wiring system, an Ergo-V neck and compound fingerboard radius for improved playability, and superb build quality. The G290 FAT II is the result of Cort's dedication to making a great guitar even better.

Flame Maple Top on Alder Body

The alder body provides a warm, full-bodied tone, while the roasted maple neck and fingerboard adds a modern element to the guitar's overall sound. It's a time-tested wood combination for excellent sonic versatility. Paired with a beautiful flame maple top, this wood combination creates a well-balanced tone with bright, transparent highs and a strongly projected low midrange.

VTH-77 Tone-Voiced Pickup Set

In addition to providing modern high output for today's high-energy music, these new VTH-77 pickups also deliver a very good clean sound for excellent classic rock and blues tones to cover a wide variety of musical genres and playing styles.

Custom-Wired Electronics

The simple yet versatile control layout provides all the sounds the guitarist needs while allowing them to focus on playing and making music. The 5-way switch is custom-wired to provide crystal-clear, bright single-coil sounds in positions 2 and 4, as well as powerful, full-bodied humbucker sounds in the bridge, middle, and neck positions.

Roasted Maple Neck and Fingerboard

By kiln-treating the maple wood at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden brown appearance for improved stability, a bolder tone, and a smoother vintage look.

Compound Radius Fingerboard (12” - 15.75”)

A premium feature for players who like to transition from easy chording in the lower register to high-speed soloing and improved string bending in the upper register, the compound radius makes playing easier so you can focus on your performance.

Ergo-V Neck Profile

Popular among guitarists, the Ergo-V neck shape provides greater comfort in any position along the entire neck for improved playability.

Cort® Staggered Locking Machine Heads

The staggered locking machine heads provide excellent tuning stability by eliminating string slippage at the posts while facilitating quick string changes.

Graph Tech® TUSQ Black Capo

Preferred by many guitar makers and players for its rich tone and sustain, TUSQ® is an advanced polymer formed under high temperatures and pressures to achieve a uniform density. It is designed to transfer string energy more efficiently and bring guitars to life with improved harmonics, volume, and sustain.

HotRod Tuning Rod Radius Nut

The HotRod Tuning Rod Radius Nut ensures smooth and precise adjustment of the neck bow. Often overlooked by many guitarists, the neck bow (or neck relief) is critical for the best possible playing. This adjustable rod allows the musician to fine-tune the neck bow to suit the player's technique and playing style.

Luminlay Side Dots

Luminlay side dot position markings make it easier for players to see the fretboard position markers when performing on dark stages.
