Cort X-500 Menace Electric Guitar with Bag – Black Satin

Cort X-500 Menace Electric Guitar with Bag – Black Satin

X500 is born again with a modern aesthetic and feature upgrades to become the new darker and aggressive X500 Menace, making it highly suitable for metal and extreme music guitarists. While maintaining the neck-thru-body construction for exceptional sustain and high frets access, the X500 Menace now features a more popular maple top on mahogany body combination, reverse headstock, 7-piece Maple / Purple Heart / Panga Panga neck and compound radius fingerboard, FloydRose Original tremolo, and Seymour Duncan Sentient & Nazgul Humbucker set for superb playability, sound quality, and that menacing presence the guitarists for extreme genre seek..

FEATURES

• Mahogany Body Wing with Maple Top
  – The Maple top on Mahogany body is a classic wood combination that simply cannot be beat: thick, cutting, warm, rich, full and sweet. Combined with the neck-thru construction, the sustain and tone transfer is limitless.
• Neck-Thru Body Construction
  – When it comes to sustain and focused midrange punch and cut, no other neck-body joint method beats neck-thru-body construction. Rock-solid stable and super sleek, it is built for speed across the entire range of the fingerboard.
• Seymour Duncan Sentient & Nazgl Humbucker Set
  – Take your guitar to the center of the earth with the Nazgl and Sentient high output passive humbucker pickups. The Nazgl combines a large ceramic magnet with custom winding specs resulting in a perfect blend of note articulation, saturation, pick attack, and one of the most brutal chugs youll ever hear from a humbucker. The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone with pristine cleans and fluid leads under high gain.
• 1 Volume & 1 Tone | 3 Way Pickup Selector
  – Sometimes simplicity is all that a player needs to get the musical point across. One volume pot and one tone pot with 3-pickup selector keeps it clean and simple and allows the player to focus on the music.
• FloydRose 1000 Series Tremolo
  – Nothing stays in tune quite like a FloydRose tremolo system. Whether you are dive-bombing, doing extreme harmonic squeal pullups or subtle chordal coloration, the Floyd will give you the confidence to express your musical ideas without any tuning worries.
• Ebony Fingerboard
  – There are many types of woods that are used for fingerboard but no other compares to the jet-black beauty and slick smoothness of Ebony.
• 7pcs Maple / Purple Heart / Panga Panga Neck
  – The 7-piece Maple, Purple Heart and Panga Panga neck provides rock-solid stability and smooth surface for high-speed riffing and soloing with unfettered access to the highest frets for superb playability.
• Compound Radius Fingerboard (12-16)
  – A deluxe feature for players who like to transition from easy chording on the low register to high-speed soloing and enhanced string-bending on the upper register, the compound radius facilitates easier playability so you can focus on your playing.
• Reverse Headstock
  – Exclusive for the X500 Menace, the reverse headstock presents an unconventional and meaner look over the original design.
