Cort X500 Menace Electric Guitar

This is the quintessential shred guitar!! I've been a guitarist for 40 years, and this is the guitar I've been waiting for!

You CANNOT beat it for the money!

It's a neck thru, it has brand name, direct mount Seymour Duncan p/u's, Floyd Rose trem, and a reverse headstock. What more can you ask for in a guitar that's less than $1k? Believe me, I come from an Ibanez background that started in '88 and this model tears them up!

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 & Nazgûl Humbucker Set

Take your guitar to the center of the earth with the Nazgûl and Sentient high output passive humbucker pickups. The Nazgûl 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” you’ll 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.

Floyd Rose® 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 (12-15.75”)

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.
