Cort X300 BRB
The new X300 is an upper-intermediate X series model (upper-intermediate in terms of Cort catalog and X series lineup), packed with great features and offered at a competitive price. Brown Burst, Grey Burst, and Blue Burst were selected into the initial color palette. All three sport black hardware, gloss finish (both body and neck), unpainted headstock, black plastic parts. The main construction features (found on all three variants) include a solid and double-cut body made of American basswood, two-piece flame maple top (no binding, no pickguard), hard maple neck (standard profile, bolt-on joint), 24-fret maple fingerboard (compound radius of an undisclosed range, 25-1/2" scale, jumbo frets w/black dot inlays), Floyd Rose Special double-locking bridge unit, EMG RetroActive Hot70 pickups, and die-cast tuners.
FLAMED MAPLE TOP ON AMERICAN BASSWOOD BODY:
This is the Holy Grail of electric guitar body wood combinations: Maple top with Basswood body. Used by some of the greatest players in the industry and boutique guitar builders, it provides the ideal balance between warmth and fullness from the American Basswood body with brilliance and the cutting ability of the Maple top.
EMG RETROACTIVE HOT 70 SET:
The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 set utilizes ceramic magnets in the bridge and alnico 5 in the neck producing high output. This traditional open coil design set has a vintage look that players love. The outputs are voiced to give you an even volume between the neck and bridge for smooth pickup transitions. Complete versatility is at your fingertips from the biggest rock tones to the sweetest cleans and everything between.
FLOYDROSE SPECIAL TREMOLO:
Nothing stays in tune quite like a Floyd Rose tremolo system. Whether you are dive-bombing, doing extreme harmonic squeal pullups or subtle chordal coloration, the Floyd will give you the confidence to express your musical ideas without any tuning worries.
ERGONOMIC BODY CONTOUR:
Both comfort and appearance was enhanced with an elegantly contoured arm cut on the top. This modification to the body has been carefully laid out on the bodies of the X guitars for maximum comfort without removing unnecessary amounts of wood. The lines of the X body are graceful for aesthetic beauty as well as for ergonomic considerations.
MAPLE FINGERBOARD:
Unknown to many guitar players, the fingerboard is a vital component of the overall sound of the guitar. Maple is a very popular choice due to its rigidity and stability but also for its strong high-midrange punch and articulation. It also feels smooth and slick as well as providing a classic woody look to the overall aesthetic of the instrument.
