A KX Designed for the Modern Guitarist, in the Spirit of Cort
For over 60 years, Cort has developed instruments known for their excellent value for money. The KX series targets today's guitarists who want a modern aesthetic without sacrificing fundamentals: effective ergonomics, reliable construction, and performance-oriented component choices. The KX700EV stands out by integrating an Evertune bridge, a major asset for precision and consistency in demanding playing situations.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
The Cort KX700EV is particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an electric guitar built for stable tuning, tight rhythms, and fluid solos. It excels in modern metal, extreme metal, hard rock, and "high gain" styles, while remaining versatile enough for broader contexts thanks to simple and effective electronics (volume, tone, 3-position switch).
The Sound
The combination of mahogany (body) and ash (top) offers a base that is both dense and responsive: present lows, solid low-mids, and a well-defined attack. The ebony fingerboard provides quick response and clear articulation, ideal for palm mutes, precise playing, and rich harmonies. Regarding pickups, the duo of Seymour Duncan Sentient at the neck and Nazgul at the bridge delivers a modern range: a clear and readable neck for leads, and a powerful, tight, and cutting bridge for saturated rhythms. Finally, the Evertune bridge contributes to a remarkable sense of control: note sustain remains very consistent, and the guitar maintains stable intonation even with strong attacks.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes factory-equipped with D'Addario EXL 110 strings: to maintain the same feel and setup balance, a replacement set of D'Addario EXL 110 (10-46 gauge) is the most straightforward choice. Picks (according to your attack and style) are a useful complement without compatibility constraints.
