Description

Cort’s G250 is a modern take on the classic double cutaway, built to offer a broad palette of tones in an easy playing, gig ready package. With a basswood body paired to a bolt on maple neck, it delivers a balanced acoustic voice with clear attack and plenty of midrange punch, ideal for everything from clean rhythm parts to high gain leads. A rounded, bevelled heel makes access to the upper register comfortable, while the neck’s smooth satin finish helps your fretting hand glide with less effort. ([cortguitars.com](

The G250’s HSS pickup set is voiced for versatility. Two full sounding single coils cover sparkling cleans and chimey rhythm work, while the bridge humbucker brings the extra output and girth needed for classic and modern rock. A push pull coil split on the tone control lets you flip the bridge unit into a single coil flavour for brighter, glassier textures, and the five way selector puts a wide range of combinations to hand. This configuration was designed to span vintage blues and rock through to 80s style shred and even contemporary heavy tones, all from one instrument. ([cortguitars.com](

Playability and tuning stability are central to the hardware choice. The two point tremolo features steel bent saddles and a precision machined base so you can add vibrato or stays in tune under expressive use. Paired with smooth, reliable die cast tuners and a solid bolt-on joint, the vibrato system feels responsive without sacrificing stability, making it a confident choice for players who lean on subtle shimmers as well as more dramatic pitch effects.

The neck spec is set up for comfort and speed. A familiar 25.5 inch scale length keeps the string tension snappy and articulate, while 22 medium jumbo frets give you secure bends and clear intonation across the board. The satin-finished hard maple neck works with a Jatoba fingerboard to offer a fast, consistent surface under the fingers, and a comfortable modern radius helps chords sit naturally while still allowing low action for lead work. Dot markers provide clear visual reference without distraction.

Electronics are straightforward and stage friendly. A master volume and a master tone with push-pull coil split on the bridge pickup sit alongside a five-way blade selector, putting a comprehensive range of single-coil and humbucking voices a quick flick away. From bright, glassy neck tones to quacky in-between sounds and a punchy, high-output bridge roar, the G250 jumps between genres and gigs with minimal tweaking.

A two-point tremolo with steel bent saddles anchors the strings and contributes to the guitar’s lively feel, while chrome hardware complements the sleek Black finish for a classic, no-nonsense look. The contoured body features a comfortable forearm bevel and a deep tummy cut, keeping long rehearsals and shows easy on the shoulder and picking arm. It ships strung with a light, flexible set that’s ready to play out of the box, and a left-handed version is available in Black for players who need a mirrored setup.

Overall, the Cort G250 in Black delivers an impressive blend of versatility, playability and dependable build quality. It’s a workhorse HSS instrument designed to cover a wide spread of styles with the feel and features modern players expect.

Features

HSS Pickup Configuration with Cort Voiced Tone

The G250 pairs a VTH59 bridge humbucker with two VTS63 single-coils for wide tonal range. From glassy cleans to punchy rock leads, the HSS layout handles rhythm and lead work with ease. A 5‑way selector delivers versatile combinations across styles.

Push‑Pull Coil Split on the Tone Control

The tone knob features a push‑pull function that splits the bridge humbucker to a single‑coil voice. This adds brighter, more articulate tones ideal for funk, pop and jangly parts. Switching back restores full humbucker power for thicker sounds.

2‑Point Tremolo with Steel Saddles

A smooth 2‑point vibrato bridge offers stable pitch and expressive vibrato. Steel saddles enhance clarity and sustain while keeping setup straightforward. It returns to pitch reliably for confident use during performances.

Roasted Maple Neck and Fretboard

Heat‑treated roasted maple provides extra stability and a smooth playing feel. The process reduces moisture for improved resilience and a warm, caramel hue. It also adds snap and definition to your tone.

Satin Neck Finish for Fast Playability

The satin‑finished neck minimises friction so your fretting hand moves effortlessly. It feels fast and comfortable during long sessions. Players who dislike sticky gloss finishes will appreciate the refined, dry touch.

Bevelled Neck Heel for Upper‑Fret Access

A rounded, bevelled heel replaces the traditional square joint to ease high‑register playing. Reaching the top frets feels natural for solos and melodic lines. This ergonomic contour encourages fluid movement across the neck.

Basswood Body with Balanced Tonality

The basswood body yields a balanced, even response across the frequency range. It offers a warm mid focus with clear highs, suiting clean and driven tones alike. Lightweight construction also enhances comfort on stage and in the studio.

25.5" Scale, 240 mm Radius and 22 Frets

The familiar 25.5" scale provides snap and definition, especially on the lower strings. A 240 mm (9.45") fingerboard radius and 22 frets strike a comfortable balance for chords and bends. It’s a modern spec that still feels classic under the fingers.

Bolt‑On Construction with Die‑Cast Tuners

A bolt‑on design delivers attack and clarity while keeping maintenance simple. Sealed die‑cast tuners provide smooth, reliable tuning performance. Combined with the stable neck, the guitar holds pitch well with normal use.

Factory‑Fitted D’Addario EXL120 .009–.042 Strings

The guitar ships with D’Addario EXL120 nickel‑wound strings for bright tone and easy bending. The light gauge suits expressive vibrato and fast leads. They’re widely available for straightforward replacements.

Chrome Hardware in Black Finish

Chrome hardware complements the sleek black finish for a classic, stage‑ready look. Durable plating resists wear while maintaining a clean aesthetic. It’s a smart, understated appearance that suits any genre.
