Electric guitar CORT X500 Menace (Black Satin)

Electric guitar CORT X500 Menace (Black Satin)

Musical instruments of the CORT company have long proven themselves on the world market.

CORT electric guitars of the X series

Updated in 2018, the X Series series of electric guitars has been completely reconstructed, received an even more modern and ergonomic design, as well as improved equipment. Refined yet aggressive, the X Series instruments are designed for a variety of metal styles; so versatile that they can be used in any musical genre: from fusion to classic rock.

The X500 has been reborn as the dark and aggressive X500 Menace, with aesthetics and refinements for extreme metal and heavy music. Retaining a through-neck design for exceptional sustain and access to the upper frets, the X500 Menace features a mahogany body with a maple top, reverse headstock, 7-piece maple/amaranth/panga panga neck, and a multi-radius fingerboard. The X500 Menace features a FloydRose® 1000 Series tremolo system and a pair of Seymour Duncan® Sentient & Nazgûl humbuckers for exceptional playability, sound quality and a menacing look for extreme genre guitarists.

Mahogany body with maple top

The maple top on the mahogany body is a classic combination that simply cannot be beat: dense, sharp, warm, rich and full. In combination with the through-mounting of the neck, the possibilities of sustain and tone transmission are simply limitless.

Thru fingerboard

When it comes to midrange sustain and focus, nothing beats a through-the-neck mount. Unwavering stability and incredible smoothness, this neck is built for speed.

Seymour Duncan® Sentient and Nazgûl pickups

Take your guitar to Middle-earth with high output Nazgûl and Sentient passive humbuckers. The Nazgûl is equipped with a large ceramic magnet with a special coil that gives it the perfect combination of note articulation, richness, pickguard attack and one of the most brutal "Chugs" you'll ever hear from a humbucker. The Sentient pickup provides a balanced, versatile sound with pristine clarity and transparent lead parts even at maximum gain.

1 volume control, 1 tone control, 3-position switch

Sometimes simplicity is exactly what a musician needs. 1 volume control, 1 tone and 3-position switch allow the guitarist to fully concentrate on the game.

FloydRose® 1000 Series Tremolo

No other tremolo system can match the stability of FloydRose® tuning. Whether you're doing dive bombs, extreme flagolets, or subtle chord coloring, FloydRose® gives you the confidence to express your musical ideas without worrying about the guitar's frets.

Ebony fingerboard

There are many types of wood that are used to make fretboards, but none can match the pitch-black beauty and smoothness of ebony.

7-piece Maple/Amaranth/Panga Panga neck

The 7-piece composite neck of maple, amaranth (Purple Heart) and panga panga wood has unmatched stability and smoothness, making it ideal for high-speed riffs and solos, with unlimited access to the highest frets.

Multiradius fretboard (12-16")

A great solution for guitarists who use transitions from simple chords in the low register to high-speed solos and bands in the upper register. Multiradius significantly improves the usability of the game, allowing you to focus on the game itself.

Reversible neck head

Exclusive to the X500 Menace, the reversible headstock gives it an unconventional and mean look compared to the original design.

Updated logo

The modern and elegant design of the Cort "Next Gen" logo was specially created to perfectly complement the aggressive styling of the X and KX series electric guitars.
