Cort bass guitar review pro#

The clear finish on the two-piece swamp ash body shows off some beautiful wood grain on the back and sides of the body. The updated shape gives it a dynamic and unique look, setting it apart from the typical Superstrat. The body itself is a standard S-type body with a bit of an offset. The first thing you will notice is the design. Trying it out in person may be tough as you’ll likely need to buy it online. If you are after high-end styling and features without breaking the bank, the Cort is definitely worth a look. Another guitar closer in specs and price is the Sterling by Music Man Luke, also made in Indonesia. While the specs are a little different, it’s made in the same factory and the quality should be comparable. Cort manufactures the G290 FAT at its factory in Indonesia, and the hardware is Cort-branded.Ī more apt comparison might be the PRS SE Standard 24. With those name brands, you’ll find name brand components, US and Japanese manufacturing, and prices to match. But it seems Cort is going after the boutique Superstrat vibe with the G290 FAT. Those guitars are thousands of dollars more expensive, and it’s not quite a fair comparison.

When evaluating styling and features, some guitars that come to mind are much more expensive and custom guitars from Suhr, Charvel, Music Man, and Ibanez. The model is aimed at players looking for versatility, and the ability to cover a wide range of tones.

( Pro tip: watch the item, and you might get an offer.)Ĭort describes the G290 FAT as a session-style guitar with a boutique design, and a reasonable price tag. At the time of this review, there are several Reverb preorder listings at $599. I was able to get an amazing deal on a new one, though I had to wait three months as it was part of a preorder. It will depend on where you live, shipping costs, and what deals Reverb sellers are offering. You should be able to buy a new one for around $600 or so.
