Cort Guitars announces the G290 Modern, a new electric guitar designed for players looking for a contemporary, high-performance instrument that delivers tonal flexibility, premium components, and modern playability in a single platform. Available now directly online and through select retailers worldwide, the G290 Modern reflects Cort’s approach to purposeful design, pairing upgraded materials with carefully selected electronics and hardware to meet the demands of today’s guitarists across genres and performance environments.
The G290 Modern features a bolt-on poplar body, paired with a roasted maple neck for enhanced stability and response. The neck is carved into Cort’s slim Ergo V profile and measures 25.5" (648mm) in scale length, with a neck thickness of 21mm at the first fret and 23mm at the 12th fret. A roasted maple fingerboard with a 12"–15.75" compound radius supports smooth playability across the neck, while 22 tall medium-jumbo stainless-steel frets provide durability and a consistent feel. Black dot inlays are complemented by luminous side dots for improved visibility on dark stages. A Graph Tech® Black TUSQ nut with a width of 1 21/32" (42mm) completes the neck design.
Electronics on the G290 Modern are built around an HSS pickup configuration designed for tonal versatility. A Seymour Duncan® TB4 humbucker in the bridge position delivers punch and clarity, while Cort® Voiced Tone VTS-63 single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions provide balance, articulation, and sparkle. Controls consist of a single volume knob, a single tone control with push-pull coil-splitting functionality, and a five-way selector switch, allowing players to move quickly between a wide range of sounds.
Hardware appointments on the G290 Modern reflect its performance-focused intent. The guitar is equipped with a Cort® CFA-III S tremolo bridge, Cort® staggered locking tuners, and chrome hardware throughout. Strings are factory-installed D’Addario® EXL120s, and a two-way adjustable truss rod with spoke nut allows for precise setup adjustments. The instrument is offered in Pale Graphite (PGR), Dusty Rose (DRS), and Military Beige (MBG) finishes, with a matte neck finish for a smooth playing feel.
