Description
Built for Speed. Tuned for Mayhem.
When precision, speed and crushing tone are non-negotiable, the Cort X500 Menace rises to the occasion. Designed with modern players in mind, this is a guitar built to handle everything from razor-sharp rhythm work to soaring leads, combining aggressive styling with premium features that inspire confidence on any stage.
Its lightweight body and slim neck make effortless work of technical passages, while the powerful Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver an impressive range of tones. From articulate cleans to tight, high-gain rhythm sounds and fluid lead voices, the X500 Menace has the versatility to cover everything from progressive metal to hard rock without breaking a sweat. A double-locking tremolo completes the package, offering exceptional tuning stability for the most demanding performances.
This 2022 example is in great condition, showing only early signs of fret wear in the lower positions. The matte grey finish has developed a slight sheen in the usual high-contact areas from regular playing, but there are no dings, chips or structural damage to note.
A superb choice for players seeking a modern performance guitar that delivers uncompromising playability, dependable hardware and tones ready for the heaviest riffs or the most intricate solos.
