Essential Information About the Cort KX307MS Guitar

• Modern 7-string with 24 fanned frets for better tuning stability and a more natural playing feel.


• Two passive PowerBar humbuckers: high output level, precise attack, and tight lows, perfect for distortion.

The KX Series: Cort's DNA for Modern Riffs

For over 60 years, Cort has developed guitars known for their value for money. The KX series follows this approach with a decidedly contemporary aesthetic and technical choices designed for modern playing: double cutaway, effective ergonomics, and performance-oriented components. The KX307MS takes the concept further with a 7-string configuration and craftsmanship tailored for low tunings and fast rhythms.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

The Cort KX307MS is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to move to 7 strings or have a reliable instrument for low tunings. It excels in modern metal, djent, hardcore, prog, but remains relevant in hard rock thanks to its passive pickups and simple, effective electronics. The multi-scale (fanned frets) helps maintain good tension on the low string while preserving comfort on the high strings.

The Sound

The mahogany body provides dense mids and a nice thickness, ideal for rhythm guitars that fill the mix without becoming harsh. The torrefied maple neck and fingerboard add stability and a sharper attack, useful for maintaining clarity under heavy distortion. The two passive PowerBar humbuckers deliver a tight sound, with controlled lows for palm-muting and enough definition for complex chords. The 3-way selector switch allows quick shifts from sharp bridge tones to rounder neck sounds, while the volume / tone controls remain straightforward for shaping aggressiveness or taming the high end.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, you can use the D'Addario EXL 110 + NW059 string set (recommended by the manufacturer). A good quality instrument jack cable is also recommended to preserve the dynamics of the passive pickups and reduce unwanted noise.
