The Cort KX508 8-String multi-scale electric guitar is designed to meet the needs of modern players who demand exceptional playability from their extended range guitar. With a longer scale length and fanned frets, this guitar delivers stable tuning and improved string tension, ensuring that each note rings out with clarity and precision.

Crafted with an Okoume body and a dyed Poplar Burl top, the KX508 looks as stunning as it sounds. The neck is sleek and comfortable, with a flat back that provides easy access to all eight strings. The multi-scale design ensures that each is under perfect tension, so you get clean lows without sacrificing easy bends and fretboard maneuverability across the higher strings.

Equipped with Fishman Fluence Modern humbucking pickups, this guitar delivers a versatile range of tones that are perfect for high-gain players. The push/pull volume and tone knobs allow you to access additional tonal options, including coil splits for even more sonic flexibility.

Among the KX508's modern design features is a spoke wheel truss rod which allows for precise and effortless neck adjustments. 

Whether you're a shredder, a prog-rock enthusiast, or a djent aficionado, Cort's 8-string model is the ultimate tool for exploring the possibilities of the extended range guitar. With its exceptional build quality, outstanding playability, and versatile tonal options, the KX508 is sure to inspire your playing and help you unlock your creative potential.
