Cort G290 Fat II Electric Guitar, Bright Blue Burst

Meet the Cort G290 FAT II Electric Guitar in Bright Blue Burst—a refined evolution of a beloved Cort staple. With a visually striking flame maple top set over a resonant alder body, this guitar delivers dramatic presence on stage and a lively, articulate core that responds to your touch in every genre.

Design and Build That Stands Out

• Flamed maple top on alder body for shimmering grain and clear note definition
• Roasted maple neck & fretboard bring stability, brightness, and a smooth, fast feel
• Compound radius fingerboard (12" to 15.75") helps you bend and shred with precision and comfort
• Ergo-V neck profile offers a natural, ergonomic grip for long sessions and clean fretting
• Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut and Cort staggered locking tuners enhance tuning stability and intonation
• Spoke Nut Hotrod truss rod for easy, precise neck relief adjustments
• Luminlay side dots light the way in low light for confident in‑the‑dark play

Tone, Feel, and Versatility

Powered by the Voiced Tone VTH-77 pickup set and a meticulously designed custom wiring system, the G290 FAT II delivers articulate clean tones, powerful midrange, and rich sustain across aggressive overdrive and lush, musical textures. The upgraded electronics preserve the guitar’s characteristic clarity while expanding its tonal palette, making it a versatile tool for modern rock, blues, fusion, and beyond.

Playability for Any Scene

The roasted neck and fretboard deliver a snappy, bright response with excellent stability, even in fluctuating humidity. The 12"–15.75" compound radius keeps chords comfortable in the lower frets while allowing precise, fast solos up the neck. Locking tuners keep re-stringing quick and reliable, so you stay in the groove through gig after gig.

Why This Model Stands Apart

The G290 FAT II carries forward Cort’s acclaimed G290 FAT essence while embracing thoughtful upgrades: a roasted maple neck and fretboard for enhanced durability and tone, a black TUSQ nut for improved sonic focus and intonation, and luminlay side dots for visibility on dark stages. The color option in Bright Blue Burst adds a bold, contemporary aesthetic that looks as dynamic as it sounds.

Ideal For

Players who want a premium, stage-ready instrument with a distinctive look and a sophisticated electronics package. Ideal for modern rock and metal players seeking tight response, expressive dynamics, and a guitar that handles both shimmering cleans and aggressive crunch with ease. Also appealing to recording enthusiasts who value a bright, articulate voice and reliable setup straight from the shop floor.

Care, Setup, and Practical Tips

To keep the G290 FAT II performing at its best, wipe the neck and body after playing to remove oils, and store in a climate-controlled space to protect the roasted neck and fretboard. With its custom electronics and high‑quality hardware, you’ll experience stable tuning and consistent intonation—perfect for sessions that demand reliability and tonal clarity. For tonal fine-tuning, start with a light pickup height adjustment and balance the output of the neck and bridge pickups to suit your preferred gain structure and stage mix.
