As the gear world descends upon NAMM 2026, Cort Guitars is making waves with the official launch of the Space G6TR. This new addition to their headless lineup is designed to disrupt the market, offering premium boutique features and ergonomic playability for an accessible $879.
While headless guitars were once niche instruments reserved for custom builders, Cort’s latest entry aims for mainstream appeal, blending striking “axe-like” aesthetics with reliable, gig-ready hardware.
Precision Engineering Meets Ergonomic Design
Earlier this month, we wrote about the budget Donner HLX-500 headless guitars, and now Cort has a more premium, yet sub $900 headless model launching at NAMM.
The Space G6TR is built for the modern player who demands comfort during long sets. It features a lightweight okoume body topped with a stunning flamed maple veneer, available in two eye-catching finishes: Semi-Gloss Lava and Semi-Gloss Lagoon.
The “Ergo V” Advantage
The heart of the G6TR is its neck construction. Cort has opted for a bolt-on, five-piece roasted maple and walnut neck. This multi-ply design ensures maximum tuning stability and resistance to temperature changes—a must for touring musicians.
-
Neck Profile: The custom “Ergo V” shape provides a natural grip.
-
Fretboard: A roasted maple board with a 12–15.75-inch compound radius, allowing for effortless chord work at the nut and choke-free bends at the higher frets.
-
Frets: 24 stainless steel tall medium-jumbo frets offer longevity and a slick, fast feel.
-
Visibility: Glow-in-the-dark side dots keep you from losing your place on a dark stage.
Versatile HSS Electronics and Custom Hardware
Unlike many headless guitars that lean strictly into high-gain metal territory, the Space G6TR is built for versatility. It utilizes an HSS (Hum-Single-Single) pickup configuration:
-
Cort Voiced Tone VTS63 & VTH77: These pickups are voiced to handle everything from glassy cleans to aggressive, saturated leads.
-
Simple Controls: A streamlined layout featuring a five-way selector, one volume knob, and one tone knob.
To solve the common “tuning headache” associated with headless designs, Cort developed a proprietary headless bridge and tremolo system. This custom black hardware is engineered for precision tuning and can withstand heavy tremolo use without slipping.
