The Cort X500 Menace 6-String Electric Guitar is a darker, meaner version of the X500 with a modern aesthetic and upgrades. Highly suitable for metal and extreme musical genres, the X500 Menace is built with a neck-through construction for exceptional sustain and high fret access. The Menace 6-string also features a maple top on a mahogany body paired with a 7-piece maple/purpleheart/panga panga neck and a compound radius fretboard. Equipped with Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nazgul humbucking pickups for super playability, sound quality and a menacing presence, the Cort Menace electric guitar includes a FloydRose Original tremolo for additional sound shaping.
