Boutique type design and styling along with expanded tonal options for session-style guitar at a reasonable price are the hallmarks of the new G290 FAT. Higher grade materials and hardware components along with improved build processes provide a more luxurious feel and look. A 5-way switch for the two humbuckers expands the tonal options from thick and meaty humbucker sounds to glassy and sparkling single-coil sounds for the utmost in sonic versatility.

Here’s the problem, you make all the guitars sound so good. Enjoy your day
Right!!!...jonathan could play a broomstick handle and it would sound great!!!’
lol....and no Larry...I cant!
You’re so spot on...Jon makes them all sound amazing.
you prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days xD
@Curtis Julian Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
That is a fabulous looking and sounding guitar. Excellent price point too. And as always, your playing is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the demonstration Jonathan. Take care.
Glad you like it!✌🤓
This is a Cort guitar that has been on my wishlist since it was released, at last a review that lets you hear it at it's best, the only thing missing for me is some pickup surrounds, but these can be added.
Thanks again Jonathan, as said below, your "Magic Fingers" seem to make most guitars sound fantastic.
My pleasure Allan✌️❤️
I think Is a great guitar ! The Cort factory Is very big and they do guitars for several companys . Hi Jon greetins from México city !
Hola!!!✌️❤️
Thanks for providing the only review that demonstrates the musicality of this fine Cort guitar, after watching so many others smash and bash out riff after riff it was a pleasant surprise to hear MUSIC being played. I envy your talent.
Thank you kindly
I'm picking up the Blue one in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to get playing.
Cool
wow... so beautiful play..... amazing performance and sounds.. really appreciate it !!!
Thank you John✌️❤️
Nice looking guitar, I have always liked Cort's and this one seems to have everything I need.
Cool ✌️❤️
i fal fallen in luv with your playing Jon!!!
Lol thank you ✌️❤️
Jon is one great melody maker.
you are such a sweet person, thank you very much for your honest review. greetings from Greece.
Glad it was helpful!✌♥
Always a pleasure hear you play
Thank you Diego!✌♥
Mine plays amazing. Great action, feel, and tone. Wow. Great playing my friend.
Thank you✌💙
Great looking and sounds very nice.Once again you did an excellent job on the review. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to help✌️❤️
After searching and seeing this I took a chance and ordered it off Reverb for $599 . I could have probably offered $549 but was just happy to get it with free shipping.Expecting it in March.Great playing as usual.Thanks
Cool!!✌️❤️
Do you have the guitar yet?
Thoughts?
They make guitars for many other companies. They just don't get credit for how good of guitars they make.
Yes David...✌♥
Looks a lot like the HB Fusion series...
What other companies do they do?
@@kamarienedwards1757 Ibanez, Schecter, PRS SE, and I think Squier as well.
Beautiful guitar, thanks for the review.
I'm looking at the blue one but they both look great
Glad to help! ✌♥
Crazy tasteful playing!
Thanks a lot!
That’s a beauty Jon and the Tone is very sweet. Cort are I feel underrated. I have a G260n HSS and it’s natural finish alder body and maple neck. I always get an ahhhh! When I open the case. It’s So well made and the wood they use is stunning. As we speak coincidentally I’m rewiring it with an auto split system just like the one you’re using. It’s a special super 5 way switch that enables the right pots and capacitor values when you switch from one to the other.They really are fantastic value. Of course you make it sound amazing 😀❤️👍
Tom Corr thats really interesting!!✌️❤️
Tasty playing man! I'll put my hands in one of these soon, thanks for the review
My pleasure✌️❤️
Lovin’ that first song!
Thank you ✌♥
Nice job . This will be my 4th Cort soon. I have a Katana, an MGM and another one that I don't remember the model. No issues whatsoever w these guitars. Amazing instruments.
cool! ✌♥
I also own that MGM guitar. Funny thing is that I don't like it much for blues (I have better options) but it sounds great with distortion.
Nicely done. That riff will be in my brain all day.
lol✌❤
Wow, that's a great price, I was expecting $799, Cort makes guitars for loads of great companies so they have a wealth of experience and they know what makes a great guitar.
Aye.. that’s true ✌️❤️
The 799.00 range would be taken by the newly released G300 Pro.
It cost $766 where I'm from, so you're not too wrong :-)
That guitar is awesome more Spects quality, enjoyable, deluxe great cleaver sounds for less money I'll go for that to Christmas
✌🤓
8:32 Agree with that. I love that recessed trem too. Maybe, its too difficult to look for another guitar with same recessed trem in this range of price. Nice one
Totally!✌❤
Great sounding guitar in the hands of a fantastic guitar player 😎
Thank you Rey✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud welcome Brother 😎♥️
Really interesting guitar especially the V shape compound neck with mj frets...it's worth a try for sure! Thanks for the video fratello mio superb playing as always
Grazie Millie!!✌️❤️
I guess now we can see that Cort builds all the HB Fusion guitars and decided to release a Cort branded variant of one of those with some alternate body cuts and forms. The awkward overlapping rear panels are the dead giveaway IMO.
I have to complement Cort on doing this. In some ways, they bring that guitar DNA to all their supported shops for hands-on tests. Smart.
✌️❤️
Seriously considering buying this guitar.
✌️❤️
Antique Violin Brust.. beautiful
✌️❤️
Congratulations man!!!
✌️❤️
Hello i have missed this demo !!! great guitar, great sound, great playing ! i don't know if it's your stomp setup or the guitars pickup... but she sounds like a perfect funky/rock weapon !!!
✌️❤️
Thank you very much for the demo sir. I ordered one, but in blue :-)
Nice ✌️❤️
How do you like it?
Cort Checked all the box's with this one..I bet it sells very well...
Yes probably!!
I love this guitar. It has gotten great reviews from others. I will change the pick ups thou. Many other manufacturers could learn a thing by supplying locking tuners on 1500$ guitars and up.
✌️❤️
wow jonathan, that demo you did there should be on a record. spotify that!!
Thank you..I cant as that is played over a backing track that I purchased 🤓✌
lovely tone, they list, for £549 in the UK really good price,
Totally agree!✌♥
Great video and chords congratulations
Many thanks!✌🤓
Good guess conserning the pick up arrangements, exactly right.
✌💜
John, I've fallen in love with the Cort G300 pro but I can't find a guitar shop here in Rome where I can test it....what I wish to know is if the 4th position in nearly similar to a Stratocaster quack sound or not....what do you tell me about? Thanx a lot, I appreciate your work here!!!😊
not really...
Excellent playing! Your guess on the pickup configuration is correct, according to a PDF schematic on the Cort site. They say position 2 is both pickups 'inside coil' and 4 is both pickups 'outside coil'. What I can't find is what is supposed to be the difference between these??! I'm about to take the plunge and buy the Blueburst one.
Thank you!! tell me how it goes with the new purchase✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I just received it an hour ago. It's very impressive indeed, lots of quality features to like. First thoughts on plugging it in: (1) the humbucker positions are noticeably louder than the single coil ones, which will be problematic if switching mid-song. Luckily I have a boost pedal on my pedal board. (2) The whammy arm sticks out too far for me, but I can probably bend it in a bit. (3) Disappointed there was no truss rod adjustment tool, Allen key, leaflet guide, well, nothing at all in the box! Cost trimming I suppose to get to the price point. I might do a quick review video myself. All in all though, an amazing guitar for a great price, I'm sure they'll sell shed loads!
@@marmadukewinterbotham2599 Does it have a Strat position 4 sound with the split coil settings or is it different?
Update after owning this guitar for a year: I really want to change the pickups. They are 'dark', 'lifeless', difficult to describe really, but maybe their cheapness shows. I'm currently pondering what I can swap them out for. All other aspects of the guitar are excellent; I'm very pleased with the neck feel, frets, tuning stability, etc., etc.
I bought it two weeks ago. A fantastic guitar and make me happy!. You was right ..the sound is quite unique. Cheers
Enjoy!✌♥
For the specs alone its a bang for the buck guitar.
I agree ✌️❤️
You spoke about microphonic pickups having a certain tone. If you wax pot them does it change the tone. I have a certain guitar that sounds unreal but can feedback at higher levels.
I’m sure there are subtle changes to the tone... but hey there other way is not to play too loud on stage.. which can be really hard for some players lol
I own this guitar and I really love so many things about it. The neck is unbelievably smooth and silky. But I do have one problem with it. The high E string is so close to the edge of the fret that it often rolls off the side if I'm not careful (using 8's). It's a problem with the design. Does that happen to you? The rest of the guitar is amazing- the finish, the pickups are great for both clean and distortion, locking tuners are great. I don't really use the whammy bar much because I find it too sensitive.
Thanks for sharing✌️❤️
The split positions 2 and 4 are very similar I think they could have had better options.The resistance of the sboth the single combined tap is only 2.9k so you have to get the volume up if coming from the humbucker.I had to replace the 5way switch don't think that quality of the switch is very good.
Thanks for sharing! ✌💚
I have this guitar...I'll never sell it. I put Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups in it and quite frankly...the original pickups were really really close.
nice!!
Please do a review/demo of the Cort G300 Pro! 🤘✌️
✌❤
nice review! would like to know what you think about the pickups - are they usable on stage? I ask because of they are a bit micrphonic
Yes they are!
I don't know who teached you to play guitar but he\she did an outstanding job :)
Thank you.. No one did ✌️❤️
I’m not familiar with Cory guitars , but this one sounds as good as the big name high end guitars , looks and sounds amazing 🤩 cool demo and playing ! Thanx .. going to buy a Cort
Most welcome ✌️❤️
How is the overall build quality comparing to a Harley Benton Fusion? I know the HB has stainless steel frets and is even cheaper but I prefer the outstanding look of this cort! Would you recommend to change pus on the cort? In some other reviews on YT people say that they find the Cort pus a bit dark sounding? What do you think? If you had decide between the Cort and a HB FusionII (maybe the TE one) which would you choose? THX in advance and keep on your excellent reviews!!!
I want to know too because I believe the Fusion-II and this Cort are made at the same factory. I love the steel frets on my HB, but the non-recessed floating trem on mine has very limited bend-up. Still, the HB is about half the cost!
This guitar is nicer ..looks wise...but I prefer the pickups on my HB fusion pro TT✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Cheers mate!!!
너무 톤이 좋아요!!
정말 고맙습니다! ✌♥
Jonathan, I truly appreciated your review of the Cort G290 FAT and the HB Fusion Iii HH Roasted SSP. If you can only choose one guitar, which one would you pick????
The HB! ✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you, the silver sparkle someday will match my hair too.
superb... great playing..
you should definitely try the g300 pro
✌️❤️
Beautiful guitar. I have been on a quest to find a Cort here in the States but ....
No luck??✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I am after the Classic TC in blue but I was told the US importer wasn't even bringing them in now.
They have several of this model for sale on www.musicgoround.com periodically. The pickups that it ships with are the same used in the ~$1600 strandberg guitars.
love it.
✌️❤️
Cort is the number one guitar maker in the world
😆❤️
great sound....
Thank you Claudio😀!
Great review! One question. Is this guitar heavy? Amazon says it is 12 pounds. Another review said 9 lbs. That is heavier than a Les Paul.
No it's not...✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you! 😊
I tried this guitar, it rocks. Liked the appointments. But I don't know what to make out of the pickup position 2 and 4. Maybe it's just me, not getting used to
Lol... it’s ok.. you’re not alone 🤪
Wow.. this guitar has got a killer look! 😘 How come i never seen it at Swee Lee? 🤔
Hmmm really?
Beautiful guitar. Sounds good and great playing as always Jon.
Thank you Ron ✌️❤️
Hey JK...maybe you could get your hands on a FGN guitar since you are in Japan (i think)...I’m would be interested in your opinion...and FGN are basically unknown here in the states....and kinda hard to get!!!!
Thanks...and no I'm based in Singapore ✌♥
Looks and sounds great that guitar Jonathan. So wich one is better in your opinion, the HB Fusion 2 or this one ? And wich one has the most stabile trem system.
both are great guitars..but i'm leaning towards the HB 😀
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks man , i've been going through alot of guitars looking at their specs ( iba, sire,cort ect ) to find a great jack of all trades guitar. But in the end it just comes down to a HB and i found out they're made at the same factories. So i think i'll be going for it now. They cost alot less and if i have to chance the pickups i still have more left in my wallet. Thanks for the reply, great playing and all the reviews !
Wonderful playing as always. How tall are the frets? What people call Medium jumbo can vary quite a bit in my experience.
They are of normal height.. can’t measure them ✌️❤️
Hey Jonathan super cool guitar and a super cool Jam there but you didn't talked much about the bridge and trem system how is it? Is it able to stay in tune after flutters and all that kind of stuff? And also how is neck is it comfortable and suitable for fast playing?
As I far as I can recall, the trem was working beautifully.
Thanks for the quick response.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Is there any other kind of problem with regards to build quality, sound, aesthetic you found?
Because I have read user reviews on Thomann regarding build quality issues(blunders as mentioned by users) of some other Cort high end guitars.
Can you please clarify on this?
@@ishwarpreetsingh293 well I can’t speak for the rest of the guitars manufactured.. this one that I reviewed was above average.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks man :)
Hello, Jonathan! Great reviews and really great sound. I always have one question when watching your reviews. Please tell, you don't use any amp? Only Helix Native and Apollo? Can't believe, that we can get this sound using this gear and software...thank you! :)
Thank you Alex.. yes just the Apollo and the helix native.. have you subscribed to the channel?✌️❤️
Actually I'm not subscribed to any channel on RUclips :) ... but there was a time when RUclips recommended me your channel, and I began to watch it sometimes. Now I often find your videos in recommendations (on the RUclips main page) and watch them as well. Thank you for the answer, Jonathan!
Hi! I want to buy this guitar or a Harley Benton CST-24T , which one should I buy? I'm using an sss fender and I want a stronger sound, my infrastructure is ready for use with pedals. Which should I get?
You will have to decide yourself...The CST is a 24 fret guitar FYI
That's only a (cosmetic) thin laminate top on the ash body I believe, so for sound think ash body & maple neck - is that correct Jonathan?
That’s what I stated.. swamp ash body with a flamed maple top✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud A flamed maple top like a Les Paul is NOT the same as a flame maple VENEER - manufacturers need to be honest about this and not mislead potential purchasers IMHO. Doesn't stop it being a great guitar, but if you're buying online you need to know what you're getting - and as I said, this is an ash body & maple neck - and a flamed maple VENEER, and NOT a "flamed maple top".
Yes you are correct... I was just copying what the website stated ✌️❤️
@@csharpminorseven 7 mm the flammed maple top , this is not a flame maple veneer on the G290
What amp are you using Here,it sounds gorgeous
Check the description✌️❤️
Hi there. I really enjoy watching you play. I have a question for you. I learned violin in school and picked up guitar after that. I learned it on my own. When you play your leads you usually only use 3 fingers and rarely the 4th finger. Is that correct technique or is just a personal preference or choice? My hands are small so I have to use quite a bit of 4th finger. Thank you
Yes!! Use your pinky if you can. The reason I don’t is because I started out learning guitar the wrong way.. Do what is comfortable and most productive✌️❤️
Did you find any issues on your guitar?
My one had too high nut (causes de-tune between open and 1 fret and makes hard to play in beginning positions), wrong height, too high, of 2 fret on 6 string (causes rattling while pressing on 1 fret), volume and tone knobs and/or potentiometers are too cheap, so the knob position is a bit out of axis while rotating.
But those are easy to fix. Overall quality is good. And it sounds really great.
The one i reviewed is fine...no problems🤓✌
on the fence for one of these - but cant find one in the blue.
Happy hunting✌️❤️
The guitar I am looking at buying
go for it Ben!
Hello Guitar Master :) I would like to know if where did you bought this guitar? Any website to buy this model? It looks so cool and I played Cort twice now., I have the Cort M80 hollow body.. Thanks Sir:,
No I did not buy this guitar.. you can try Thomann✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you Sir 😊 I’ll try if they have this kind of Cort.,
can you compare this guitar with yamaha 612 ? btw this great review
Thank you✌♥
612 has better spec. Seymour Duncan pickups Grover's Wilkinson trem. But the Cort is pretty and compound neck.
I dont know why go to the shred hedz. As soon as they start....they play the same.old riffz for a girl they're never gonna have. Smoothness Lives Here!!
Thank you✌️❤️
Hi Jon! Have you ever played a Yamaha revstar rsp20cr? I'm undecided between this or spending twice as much for a rsp20cr
Sorry Gabri..no I have not!✌🤓
What's the radius of the fret board?
Disregard. Got it.
Hello sir.
Between the two, what would you choose,
Yamaha PAC612viiFM or Cort G290 FAT?
Thanks in advance sir!
The Cort ✌💙
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you sir!
Hey, I've seen that you answer all the questions that asked :)
So I'm a student and because of financial issues I'm looking for a versatile guitar that suits kinda every genre.
I've been watching videos about this guitar but I don't know if that's what I want..
Do you think that it suits every genre ?
And another question, how was the sustain of it ? cuz its bridge is kinda unusual so soft and not Floyd rose
There are other guitars out there with around the same budget… this guitar is great for all genres.. plays well
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Harley benton fushion2 hsh or cortg290 which one would you choose ?
Does it stay in tune with bends y tremolo use. Is it difficult to lower the strings.??
It stays in tune....Setting up the action is easy✌♥
🤩🤩🤩
✌️❤️
Hello Friend! Harley Benton Fusion III or this one?
fUSION3✌💙
Wow! I was thinking Cort was better and decided. Maybe tomorrow I'll buy the fusion 3 then!
I have just bought today the Fusion III Roasted HH Grey Sparkle :D Thanks J!
Do you find the pickups troublesome cause of the fact they're microphonic or are they ok until you start playing with a lot of gain?
Nope.. it’s fine with me✌️❤️
Does the tremolo move both ways? 🤔🤔
If you float the bridge… yes ✌️❤️
Beatiful playing, thanks. It was such a pleasure to listen. Very nice review also otherwise. You really got me interested on that guitar, unfortunately...
Lol✌️❤️
pacifica or cort g290 fat for better playability?
Cort✌️❤️
Is it better than Harley Benton fusion pro?
In some ways.. yes✌️❤️
How much does it weigh? Frets stainless steel?
not too sure about the frets...weighs approx 3.4kg
That sweet jam in 2:50 got me raping the replay button. Damn thats very tasty playing and tone Mr. Jonathan Koh
Thank you✌️❤️
Cort CR 300 or Cort G290 FAT ????
Your choice✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud which one is better according to you?
Is this guitar versatile? Many said that this is a cheaper boutique grade guitar, what do u think?
You will have to try it...The pickups is something that you will need to hear to know if you like it or not✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks Jonathan
this or the harley benton?
your choice to make✌🤓
Hi Jonathan, how fat or thin is the neck ?
It’s very comfortable.. modern c shape like even though it’s a v shape✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I comited to myself not to buy another one guitar ... but I'm missing a Strat like with flamed maple top with blue burst. The Ibanez AZ2404 is fantastic but too expensive for me, the Harley Benton Fusion II HSH seems fine but afraid of average quality. I tested a PRS SE 245, beautiful, affordable but too thin a neck. So that the Cort G290 Fat could be the one !? I have to resist to my GAS , haha. I like the clean tones better than distortion. We'll see 😜
I wanted one, but I want jumbo frets.
✌🤓
Is it heavy.??
No is not ✌️❤️
Do you think maybe you have enough guitars already ???.
I know so! lol
best
