Description

Cort built the CR250-ATA as part of its CR Classic Rock Series, positioning it as a set-neck electric guitar drawing on the aesthetics and construction approach of Golden Era vintage instruments. Within the CR line it sat as a mid-tier offering, distinguished by its Voiced Tone VTH-59 humbucker pickups and flamed maple top over a mahogany body.

The CR250-ATA is constructed with a mahogany (Palaquium) body and neck joined by a set-neck joint, topped with flamed maple and bound in ivory. The jatoba fretboard runs a 305mm (12") radius across 22 frets at a 628mm (24.75") scale, with rectangular white pearl inlays and a 42mm nut width — the nut itself is a Graph-Tech Nubone unit. The Voiced Tone VTH-59 pickups are PAF-inspired humbuckers wound with Alnico II magnets and 0.06" custom-gauge coils, routed through a standard layout of two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector switch. Hardware throughout is nickel-finished; the bridge is a tune-o-matic with stop tailpiece, and tuners are vintage-style. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario XL110s.

Owners seeking replacement parts — including compatible tune-o-matic saddles, stop tailpiece studs, Graph-Tech Nubone nut blanks, or Alnico II humbucker replacements — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can verify fit against the instrument's actual dimensions.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
