What we say:

Features We Love:

Sandblasted Ash Top

A mahogany body is always a solid base to build on. An Ash Burl top paired with it really adds to the tone with high end definition and midrange punch. And when that Ash Burl top is sandblasted? Wow.

The sandblasted finish gives this guitar a stunning, rugged and unique visual character, and a fantastic texture in the hand.

Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers

Quickly cementing themselves as one of the staples of modern metal guitars, the Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers feature Fishman Dual Voice technology, controlled here with the Push/Pull Volume control. Voice 1 gives you the Modern Active High Output sound, with a crisp, searing crunch with a tight low end. Voice 2 is the Modern Passive Attack voice, with superb distortion characteristics, and stunning dynamics and response.

Finally paired with the Push/Pull Tone control's Coil Split Switch for singlecoil tones, you have one supremely versatile axe!

Dependable Hardware

Cort really know how to build a guitar you can rely on, and with the highly adjustable String Thru Hardtail bridge and Cort Staggered Locking Tuners, you can depend on this guitar to get you through any gig, session or tour.
