The Cort KX500 Etched Black Electric Guitar is designed for modern players who crave professional-grade aesthetics, components, and the ability to play across genres like djent metal, modern rock, and prog.

This striking combination creates a deep, 3-dimensional “etched” look and a bright, punchy midrange tone that complements the warm mahogany body.

Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers deliver clear, noise-free sound with a variety of tones, from aggressive high-output to warm and passive. A push/pull knob system on the volume and tone controls along with a 3-way pickup selector allows for easy tonal manipulation, expanding your sonic vocabulary even further.

The hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design enhances both sustain and resonance, while the Macassar Ebony fingerboard with Raindrop inlays provides a sleek look, comfortable playability, and a rich sound with clear highs. Locking machine heads ensure superior tuning stability and fast string changes, and the 5-piece maple and purpleheart neck offers strength, stability, and a focused tone that blends seamlessly with the guitar’s body resonance.

The modern design of the KX500 Etched is completed with a sleek “Next Gen” Cort logo that complements the aggressive styling of the entire KX Series. In short, the Cort KX500 Etched is a feature-packed electric guitar ideal for modern guitarists seeking exceptional playability, tonal versatility, and a head-turning look.
