Cort KX500MS review | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

Cort's KX500MS is a striking seven-string that offers a thrilling ride for metal enthusiasts, boasting solid construction and aggressive EMG 707 pickups that deliver punishing tones. While its multi-scale design enhances playability and intonation, it may not appeal to all players, particularly those who prefer traditional setups. The tonal capabilities shine at high gain, yet the cleans can struggle with dynamics, favoring a compressed sound. At a competitive price, it’s a formidable option for those ready to embrace its unique features, but it may not suit everyone’s style.

Cort KX500MS review | MusicRadar

The Cort KX500MS is a formidable entry in the seven-string, multi-scale guitar arena, boasting crushing metal tones and a sleek design. Its fast neck and active EMG707 pickups deliver impressive performance that caters to modern metal enthusiasts. However, it suffers from a bit of neck heaviness and may struggle with more subtle tonal nuances. While its tuning stability and playability shine, its limited dynamics can leave some classic rock sounds wanting. Overall, this guitar is tailored for those seeking a powerful, shred-ready instrument at a competitive price.

First 7 string and I love it

For a cheap multiscale guitar, this really punches well above it's weight. It has locking tuners and EMG 707 pickups, it really does what it says on the tin. Super comfortable, neck feels great, solidly built, it looks great. I think you'd struggle to find a guitar this good with a major brand name.
