If you're looking for a guitar that combines stunning looks, versatile tones and effortless playability, the Cort KX500 might be the one for you. This guitar features a burled ash top with a flat/satin black finish that showcases the natural beauty of the wood grain. The back is made of mahogany with a wine-red satin finish that feels smooth and comfortable in your hands. The ash and mahogany combination gives you a balanced sound with plenty of warmth and bite.
The neck is a 5-piece Maple and Purple Heart construction that is strong and stable, with a light satin finish that lets you glide along the 24-fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard. The fingerboard has a flat 15.75" radius and mini teardrop inlays that add a touch of elegance to the sleek design. The headstock matches the body with a textured finish and locking tuners that keep your tuning stable and make string changes easy.
The Cort KX500 is equipped with Fishman Fluence pickups that deliver a wide range of tones for any style of music. These pickups are active, but have a natural and organic sound that can be shaped by the push/pull volume and tone controls. The volume control lets you switch between two voicings: modern and classic. The modern voicing gives you a high-output sound with plenty of aggression and clarity, while the classic voicing gives you a more vintage-inspired sound with a warmer and smoother character. The tone control lets you coil split the pickups for a single-coil sound that is bright and crisp. With these options, you can go from heavy metal to blues to rock and everything in between.
The Cort KX500 is a guitar that will inspire you to play more and explore new sonic possibilities. It has a stunning appearance, a comfortable feel and a versatile sound that can handle any genre. Whether you're practicing at home, jamming with friends or rocking on stage, the Cort KX500 will deliver the performance you need.
