Cort Guitars Unveils the Space G6MS: A High-Performance Multi-Scale Headless Marvel
The Cort Space G6MS is a next-gen headless guitar featuring an ergonomic Ergo V neck, multi-scale precision, and boutique hardware for modern performance and punchy tone.
Cort Guitars has officially expanded its innovative Space series with the launch of the Space G6MS. This next-generation headless electric guitar is meticulously engineered for modern players who prioritize ergonomic comfort, surgical precision, and a versatile tonal palette. Following the design language of its predecessors, the G6MS pushes the envelope by introducing multi-scale construction, offering a refined playing experience that balances string tension and enhances low-end clarity.
Engineered for Speed and Precision
The heart of the Space G6MS lies in its 25"–25.5" multi-scale length. By utilizing a slanted fret layout, Cort ensures that the lower strings maintain a punchy, tight response—ideal for complex riffing—while the higher strings remain "slinky" and easy to bend for lead work. The construction features a resonant Okoume body paired with a rigid five-piece Roasted Maple and Walnut neck. To ensure maximum playability, Cort utilized an Ergo V neck profile and a 12"–15.75" compound radius fingerboard. This allows for effortless transitions from chunky rhythm playing at the nut to lightning-fast shredding across all 24 stainless-steel tall medium-jumbo frets.
Boutique Features at a Street Price
Cort hasn't held back on the hardware or aesthetics. Available in two stunning finishes—Semi-Gloss Trans Black (SGTK) and Semi-Gloss Turquoise (SGTQ)—the G6MS is as visually striking as it is functional. Key Specifications at a Glance:
- Pickups: Cort Voiced Tone VTH77 Humbucker set (HH)
- Electronics: 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 5-way selector switch
- Hardware: Proprietary Cort headless bridge and tuning system
- Nut: 42mm PPS Nut
- Extra Features: Glow-in-the-dark side dots and spoke-nut truss rod adjustment
The Voiced Tone VTH77 pickups are specifically dialed in for contemporary genres, providing high-output articulation that handles high-gain saturation without losing clarity in the mids and highs. Available at Thomann in Semi-Gloss Trans Black (SGTK) and Semi-Gloss Turquoise (SGTQ) - €669 each
Building on the Space Legacy
The G6MS arrives as a more advanced sibling to the recently released Cort Space G6TR. While the G6TR focused on a traditional tremolo system and a single scale length, the new G6MS (Multi-Scale) targets the technical player looking for the ergonomic benefits of fanned frets and the tuning stability of a fixed-headless bridge.
FAQ: Everything You Need to Know
What is the benefit of a multi-scale (fanned fret) guitar? Multi-scale guitars provide a longer scale length for the bass strings and a shorter scale for the treble strings. This results in better intonation, more consistent string tension, and a tighter low-end sound. Does the Cort Space G6MS come with a case? Yes, each Space G6MS ships with a dedicated Cort gig bag, making it gig-ready right out of the box. What is the street price of the Space G6MS? The Space G6MS is expected to hit retailers with a street price of approximately $839.99 USD. How do the stainless-steel frets compare to nickel? Stainless-steel frets are significantly harder than traditional nickel-silver. They are virtually immune to wear, stay polished longer, and provide a much smoother surface for string bends.
Our Thoughts: The New King of Mid-Priced Headless?
At GuitarBomb, we’ve been keeping a close eye on Cort’s recent "Space" odyssey. While the Space G6TR offered a fantastic entry point for those wanting a modern headless vibe with a tremolo, the Space G6MS feels like the "pro" evolution of the line. Why we like it: The inclusion of stainless-steel frets and a 5-piece roasted neck at the $840 price point is an incredible value. Many boutique brands charge double for these exact specs. The multi-scale design isn't just for metal players; it’s an ergonomic upgrade that reduces wrist fatigue during long sessions. The Verdict: If you are looking for a compact, lightweight "travel-ready" guitar that doesn't sacrifice tone or playability, the G6MS is a formidable contender. Cort is proving once again that they aren't just a manufacturer for other brands—they are a powerhouse of original, forward-thinking design.
