00:00Hey what's up? It's Paul here from Guitar World and today we're going to be checking out a

00:13standout electric from Kort Guitars. The Kort G290 Fat 2. Let's check it out.

00:19Whether you know it or not Kort has made countless guitars for other manufacturers

00:33yet their namesake instruments have largely been overlooked. Not anymore. Tapping in the key

00:39features and ergonomic designs Kort seems intent on overshadowing its competitors with its own

00:45models that are more than just a sum of their parts. And once you pick up this Kort G290 Fat 2

00:51you'll know right away this is a serious and worthy electric that should be on your radar.

00:56What's cool is the offset body feels snug pressed against you with a generous belly carve and soft

01:02forearm contour that provides hours of playing comfort. But it's impossible not to notice the

01:07top-notch componentry and woods on this guitar. Everything about the Kort G290 Fat 2 appears

01:13elevated.

01:24This guitar features an older body with a gorgeous flame maple top in trans black bursts what you

01:29see here. There's also antique violin burst and bright blue burst and it also has a one ply white

01:36bonding. It also comes with a roasted maple neck and fretboard. Though it sounds like a misnomer the

01:43ergo v neck profile is not a v-shaped neck but rather a palm filling profile that's closer to a fuller

01:5060 c-shape with a soft satin finish on the back of the neck. The neck also sports glow-in-the-dark

01:57lumen lay side dots and easy to burn on 12 to 15 and three-quarter inch compound radius fretboard with 22

02:05immaculately dressed frets. There's also a Graftec black tusk nut, quartz staggered locking tuners,

02:13and an accessible spoke nut hot rod truss rod wheel. The G290 Fat 2's articulate and detailed tones come

02:20courtesy of the voice tone VTH 77 direct mount pickups in brushed nickel that are merged with a custom pickup

02:27wiring to the five-way switch that offers single coil sparkle in the second and fourth positions and

02:33full body humbucker roar in the other positions. And rounding out the guitar is quartz smooth traveling

02:39and floating stainless steel CFA-3 tremolo bridge mounted over a recessed cavity.

02:50Let's start with the clean channel. I'll move over to crunchier channels and lead channels as well

02:54but what I love about the guitar is that it cleans up and it retains its clarity even when I roll down

03:00the volume and you'll hear it between like the notch positions and even the full humbucker positions.

03:05Let's take a listen.
