KX Series: Cort's "modern player" spirit
Designed for today's guitarists, the KX series emphasizes ergonomics, upper fret access, and a bold design. With its double cutaway and a decidedly rock and metal orientation, the KX500 Etched fits this philosophy: a high-performance electric guitar built to handle heavy chords as well as expressive solos, while remaining elegant and well-finished.
Who is it for, and what styles?
The Cort KX500 Etched is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable guitar for stage, rehearsals, and recording. Its character makes it ideal for metal, hard rock, prog, and all genres requiring attack, precision, and excellent noise control at high gain. The push-pull controls also expand the tonal palette for more nuanced sounds, useful in modern rock and refined cleans.
The sound
The combination of a mahogany body and sandblasted ash top delivers a very musical balance: mahogany favors density, sustain, and pronounced mids, while ash adds attack and better clarity, especially appreciated in lower tunings. The Fishman Fluence humbuckers are designed to provide a very consistent response, with excellent note separation and a modern sound, suitable for both sharp rhythm playing and lead. The electronics are straightforward: 1 push-pull volume, 1 push-pull tone, and a 3-position selector for quick switching between tonal ranges.
