Electric guitar CORT KX500 Etched (Black)

Modern performers need instruments that raise the bar of aesthetics, quality of components and materials and are able to cover many musical genres, from punk to progressive rock. Therefore, inspired by the incredibly successful KX508MS ​​and KX500MS, the Cort company presents the KX500 Etched Black electric guitar - the new flagship of the KX Series in a traditional 6-string design, equipped with modern Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, which have received worldwide recognition due to their incredible versatility.

Mahogany body with ash cap top

The impressive ash burl top and mahogany body complement each other beautifully both visually and tonally, creating a warm yet punchy sound with an emphasis on the upper mids that can cut through even the densest mix with ease.

Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups

Original Fishman Fluence pickups are free of the annoying background, noise, and inductance problems that even the best pickups are prone to. Only clean, undistorted and musical sound - this is the recipe for the popularity of Fishman Fluence.

Thoughtful management

In order to preserve the concise appearance of the instrument, the volume and tone controls are equipped with a Push/Pull function. Combined with the 3-position pickup switch, this allowed the full potential of the pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups to be revealed.

• Push/Pull Volume Switch: Switch between Voice1/Voice2 modes
• Push/Pull tone switch: Activates clipping mode

Fixed bridge

The Hardtail tailpiece provides increased sustain and excellent tuning stability, while allowing easy adjustment of the scale and height of each string. The construction "strings through the body" significantly improves resonance and richness of sound.

Fretboard made of Makassar ebony

Makassar ebony is visually and timbrally very close to rosewood. This breed is characterized by a dense sound with powerful bass and clean transparent tops. The special design of markers in the form of "Raindrop" drops was developed especially for this model, emphasizing the originality of its design.

Convenient anchor adjustment

Easy access to the anchor rod from the end of the neck and with a nut on the spokes improves stability and also facilitates precise adjustment of the neck deflection.

Lock pegs

Branded Cort locking pegs perfectly keep the string, even during active use of the instrument and significantly simplify the procedure for changing strings.

Updated modern logo

The modern and elegant design of the Cort "Next Gen" logo was specially created to perfectly complement the aggressive styling of the X and KX series electric guitars.
