The Cort KX500 Etched Black is the flagship 6-string model of the KX Series, designed for players who want uncompromising tone, premium materials, and stage-ready aesthetics. Taking inspiration from the multi-scale KX508MS and KX500MS, it delivers the same high-end build quality in a conventional setup that appeals to modern players across genres such as prog, djent, rock, and fusion.
Its mahogany body topped with exotic ash burl creates a stunning three-dimensional “etched” look while producing a balanced tone with warmth, punch, and clarity. The 5-piece maple and purpleheart neck, paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard, ensures stability and smooth playability with fast response.
The guitar is powered by Fishman® Fluence Modern Humbuckers, providing multiple voicings that cover everything from tight, aggressive distortion to glassy cleans. With push/pull controls on both the volume and tone knobs, along with a 3-way selector, players can seamlessly shift between voicings and coil-split modes for unmatched versatility. Combined with Cort® locking tuners and a string-thru hardtail bridge, the KX500 offers exceptional tuning stability and sustain, built to handle demanding live performances.
