A KX Designed for Modernity, in the Cort DNA
For over 60 years, Cort has designed guitars known for their value for money. The KX series follows this philosophy with a decidedly contemporary design and features that have become essential for demanding guitarists: ergonomics, upper fret access, and a configuration tailored for modern distortion. The KX507MS takes the concept further with a 7-string platform focused on precision and stability.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Cort KX507MS is mainly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an effective 7-string for low tunings, palm-muted playing, and tight rhythms. It excels in modern metal, prog, djent, and heavy rock, while remaining relevant for more nuanced tones thanks to its simple and straightforward electronics (volume, tone, 3-position selector).
The Sound
The mahogany body provides a warm sonic foundation, with rich mids and natural sustain, ideal for maintaining body under heavy distortion. The ebony fingerboard enhances attack and precision, helping to retain excellent definition on fast riffs and the extended chords of a 7-string.
The two Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers deliver a very articulate output, with tight lows and controlled highs: perfect for high gain without muddiness, and very effective for lead playing with notes that "cut through" the mix. The multiscale (fanned frets) design improves string tension feel, a real plus for stability and clarity in the low registers.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel, you can use the factory-installed gauge: D'Addario EXL110 complemented by a NW059 for the 7th string. For the active electronics, also plan to have a spare 9 V battery to avoid any loss of output during rehearsals or on stage.
