Cort G280 Select Flame Top 6-String Electric Guitar, Transparent Black Finish (G280SELECTTBK)

Introducing the Cort G280 Select Flame Top in Transparent Black — a finely tuned 6-string electric built for players who demand flexible tone, precise playability, and a striking stage presence. This model is the revamped successor to the popular G280DX, marrying upgraded aesthetics with refined engineering for a guitar that feels as great as it sounds.

Why the G280 Select stands out

• Alder body with Flamed Maple Top delivers warm fundamentals, articulate dynamics, and a visually striking flame figure that catches the eye on and off the stage.
• Voiced Tone VTS-63 & VTH-77 pickup sets provide a versatile HSS configuration capable of singing cleans, tight crunch, and aggressive lead tones — ideal for everything from bluesy riffs to modern metal.
• Cort CFA-III Tremolo gives expressive dive-bombs and floating trem use without sacrificing stability or intonation.
• Compound Radius Fingerboard (12-15.75”) balances effortless chording in the lower frets with precise bending and clean note separation toward the high end.
• Hard Maple Neck with Rosewood Fingerboard and Ergo-V Neck Profile offer a comfortable, ergonomic grip that encourages extended playing without fatigue.
• Cort Staggered Locking Tuners ensure solid tuning stability and quick, precise string changes.
• Pearloid pickguard and metal-covered VTH-77 combine boutique aesthetics with durable hardware for a premium, high-grade look.

The G280 Select’s electronic routing and binding focus on electronics ensure clean signal paths and reliable performance. This model carries the G280SELECTTBK designation, signaling its Transparent Black finish and premium build finish they’ll notice first and feel second.

Versatility for every playing scenario

Whether you’re layering classic tones in a jazz-blues blend, riffing through punchy rock, or pushing into modern high-gain territory, the G280 Select delivers. The combination of the VTS-63 neck/middle tones with the hot VTH-77 bridge humbucker gives you a broad, musical palette: glassy cleans, crisp single-note articulation, tight high-gain sustain, and singing leads. The tremolo adds expressive textures without muting your overall dynamics, while the flame-top aesthetic and pearloid pickguard give you a stage-ready look that’s as professional as your playing.

Who this guitar is for

Ideal for players who want a single guitar that can handle multiple genres — from blues and funk to rock and modern metal — without swapping instruments. It’s especially well-suited for players who value a comfortable fretboard feel, a stable tremolo system, and a visually distinctive instrument that stands out in photos and on stage.

Tips for best results

• Dial in dynamic pickup balance using the HSS configuration to preserve note clarity at higher gain settings.
• Experiment with the 12-15.75” compound radius to find your sweet spot for chording versus lead work.
• Keep the tremolo springs balanced to maintain tuning stability during aggressive whammy use.
