Description

Cort built the G250-DX-TR as part of the G Series, a line the maker positioned around combining proven traditional construction with practical updates aimed at broader tonal versatility. The model used a bolt-on neck arrangement and a double-cutaway body of American Basswood with a quilted top, fitted with a matching-headstock Canadian Hardmaple neck and a Maple fretboard.

The fretboard runs a 240mm (9 7/16") radius across 22 frets at a 648mm (25.5") scale, with dot inlays and a 42mm (1 5/8") nut. Switching is handled by a 5-way lever, feeding one volume and one tone control; the tone circuit includes a coil-tap for the humbucker. The pickup complement is an Alnico V S-S-H configuration — Cort noted the Alnico V magnetic type as producing a character described as sweeter and smoother relative to ceramic alternatives. Hardware throughout is chrome, anchored by a 2-point tremolo bridge with steel bent saddles and die-cast tuners. The guitar shipped with D'Addario EXL-120 strings gauged 009–042.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — saddles, tremolo components, tuner bushings or nut blanks — should cross-reference the listed dimensions and hardware type against current aftermarket catalogues, and consult a qualified guitar technician for setup work and any structural repairs.

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.

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.
