Cort X700 Duality – As Good as it Gets

The X Series of electric guitars from Cort has been an incredibly popular choice, and a favourite of ours, for many years; and with offerings as affordable and well-specced as the X100, it’s little wonder why!

Cort have recently updated the flagship offering of the X Series in the form of the X700 Duality electric guitar. With boutique quality materials, the highest quality hardware components, Seymour Duncan pickups, aesthetic excellence, and world-class craftsmanship, Cort have built an instrument that not only looks chic and daring but plays exceptionally fast and is versatile enough to cover virtually any musical genre and style.

Available in two beautiful finishes, Light Blue Burst,  and Antique Violin Burst, the X700 Duality guitars stand out as an exceptional high-spec, fast-playing, and professional guitar.

Let’s take a look at what makes the Cort X700 duality tick.

Flamed Maple Top on Swamp Ash Body

The Swamp Ash body provides a warm and full-bodied tone while the Flame Maple top not only adds beauty but tightens up the overall sound with strong high-midrange and brilliance. The strikingly figured Flame Maple top and Swamp Ash complement each other perfectly to produce a warm yet punchy high-midrange sound that will cut through the mix with authority.

Seymour Duncan SH2N & TB4 Humbuckers

The Seymour Duncan TB4 bridge humbucker and SH2N neck humbucker combined with a special 5-way wiring offer great modern and classic humbucker tones and two exceptional single-coil sounds for unmatched versatility with a clean and simple control layout.

Custom Electronics

The 5-way switch is custom-wired to provide glassy and sparkling single-coil sounds in the 2nd and 4th positions as well as the full-bodied and powerful humbucker sounds in the bridge, middle and neck positions.

CFA-III Tremolo System

The Cort CFA-III Tremolo System uses a metal injection molding manufacturing technique with stainless steel used on the saddle, bridge plate and the block. This provides a big, solid, bold and articulate sound as well as enhanced sustain.

3 piece Maple & Panga Panga Neck

The strength and brightness of Maple is ideally balanced with the warm midrange of Panga Panga, resulting in superb playability, feel and tonal definition.

Ebony Fretboard

There are many types of woods that are used for fretboard, but no other compares to the jet-black beauty and slick smoothness of Ebony.

Luminlay Side Dots

The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see the fretboard position markers when performing on dark stages.
