00:00What's up? Paul here from Guitar World and today we're going to be checking out what
00:05is poised to be the KX series flagship instrument for Cort guitars. The Cort KX700 Evertune.
00:13Let's check it out.
00:16I've said this before, Cort has made countless guitars for other manufacturers, yet their
00:29namesake instruments tend to get overlooked. Not anymore. With ergonomic designs and the
00:34latest and greatest components in electronics, Cort is well on their way to becoming a serious
00:38contender in the guitar market. And you'll know right away once you pick up this Cort
00:43KX700 Evertune, it is an extreme electric guitar that should be on every metal player's
00:48wish list.
00:50The KX700 Evertune is the sleekest KX series guitar with a completely redesigned body contour,
00:56with deeper cuts and newly adjusted horn cutaways that favors a more aggressive appearance
01:01while also appealing to player comfort and dexterous playability.
01:06Of course, a namely key feature of the KX700 is the Evertune bridge, which is a revolutionary
01:15patented all-mechanical guitar bridge system that keeps guitars in tune under any conditions.
01:21Using a system of springs and levers, the Evertune maintains constant tension on each
01:25individual string, keeping the guitar in perfect tuning indefinitely. In other words, the Evertune
01:31balances string tension to keep your guitar consistently intonated and in tune as you
01:36bend strings and under varying temperatures and humidity changes.
01:46Next up are the high-output Passive Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nozgul unbucking pickups.
01:51The Nozgul bridge combines a large ceramic magnet with custom winding specs resulting
01:56in a perfect blend of note articulation, saturation, and pick attack for aggressively brutal chugging,
02:02and the Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone for pristine cleans and clarity
02:07with fluid leads under high gain.
02:15Other notable features include an ashtop on a mahogany body, a five-piece maple and walnut
02:19neck for maximum stability and tone transfer, a next-gen Cort logo, staggered locking tuners
02:25for easy string changing, spoke nut hot rod truss rod for convenient neck adjustments,
02:31stainless steel frets, and an ebony fretboard with lumen-lay side dots.
02:36The sleek KX-700 Evertune is one of the most audacious metal guitars available from Cort
02:41with cutting-edge componentry like its Evertune bridge for maximum tuning stability and premium
02:47metal voice pickups like its Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nozgul humbucker set for extreme
02:52metal riffing, along with optimum playability for technical playing.
02:57Overall, the KX-700 Evertune from Cort has a great compact and taut feel ideal for metal,
03:04proving it is hard to beat.
03:06Definitely check it out.
