Cort X100 OPBB
Cort Guitars has a brand new lineup of the popular X series of metal-oriented Superstrat guitars, filled with a host of affordable, high-quality six and seven-stringers. X100 is the new basic model; it is a six-stringed Superstrat with stock electronics, stock hardware, and minimalist styling. The color palette will be made up of three options - Open Pore Black, Open Pore Black Cherry Burst, and Open Pore Blue Burst. Main construction features (for all three options) include a solid and beveled meranti body (super affordable wood from Southeast Asia, similar to mahogany), hard maple neck (series` standard profile, bolt-on joint), a 24-fret jatoba fingerboard (dot inlays, 15.75" radius, 25-1/2" scale), a string-thru tremolo bridge, Powersound humbuckers, and a set of six die-cast tuning machines.
The Meranti body has similar tonal characteristics to Mahogany with a strong mid-midrange that will cut through the mix with authority for rhythm while providing sweet highs for singing leads. The Powersound pickups provide classic humbucker punch and tone with a quality/value quotient that cannot be beat.
