NAMM 2012: Cort Introduces Gene Simmons Axe-2 Guitar
Cort Guitars announced the new Gene Simmons Axe Guitar at last week's 2012 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California, and GuitarWorld.com stopped by to take some photos (See below).
The model -- the GS Guitar Axe-2 -- is the latest addition to the series of signature guitars from Simmons and Cort, joining the Gene Simmons Axe Bass in the Simmons/Axe series.
Both the guitar and bass are dangerously cool looking, and their finishes are silky smooth. The axe portion -- the entire body is made of basswood -- is extra sharp, no pun intended. The guitar features a 24-fret rosewood fretboard and two Mighty Mite humbuckers.
Here's a longer list of the GS Guitar Axe-2's features:
• Basswood body
• Bolt-on, 25 1/2” maple neck
• 24-fret, rosewood fretboard
• Two Mighty Mite Humbucker pickups
• Chrome hardware
• Custom paint and artwork
• One volume, one tone, toggle switch
• TOM bridge with strings through body
• Gene Simmons custom gig bag
• MSRP $650 USD
