Cort KX500 Etched Deep Violet with Fishman Fluence Modern Pickups and Sand-Blasted Burl Ash Top
Product no: 9000-0082-1513 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Cort KX500 Etched might well be referred to as the mother-ship of the KX Series. This hyper-modern electric guitar blends the natural beauty of the wood used to shape it with high-quality, utterly contemporary hardware. The mahogany body is topped with 15mm thick burl ash that has been sand-blasted to leave a highly subtle and unique finish, while the flat ebony fretboard shares the tonal qualities of rosewood but adds a darker, more sleek look.

The KX500 Etched: Simply Versatile

The sound is just as refined, since the Cort KX500 Etched electric guitar has been mounted with a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers complete with two voicings. Pull out the push-pull volume pot to split these high-output humbuckers in two for a more toned down, bright and clean single-coil sound, or leave the humbuckers intact for a brutal and thick tone. The versatile sonic character of this model comes fully supported by a stable fixed bridge and a set of Cort's very own locking tuners.
