00:00 What's up? Paul here from Guitar World and today we're going to be checking out what
00:05 is poised to be the KX series flagship instrument for Cort guitars. The Cort KX700 Evertune.
00:12 Let's check it out.
00:15 I've said this before, Cort has made countless guitars for other manufacturers, yet their
00:28 namesake instruments tend to get overlooked. Not anymore. With ergonomic designs and the
00:33 latest and greatest components in electronics, Cort is well on their way to becoming a serious
00:38 contender in the guitar market. And you'll know right away once you pick up this Cort
00:43 KX700 Evertune, it is an extreme electric guitar that should be on every metal player's
00:48 wish list.
00:50 The KX700 Evertune is the sleekest KX series guitar with a completely redesigned body contour,
00:56 with deeper cuts and newly adjusted horn cutaways that favors a more aggressive appearance while
01:01 also appealing to player comfort and dexterous playability.
01:06 Of course, a namely key feature of the KX700 is the Evertune bridge, which is a revolutionary
01:15 patented all mechanical guitar bridge system that keeps guitars in tune under any conditions.
01:20 Using a system of springs and levers, the Evertune maintains constant tension on each
01:25 individual string, keeping the guitar in perfect tuning indefinitely. In other words, the Evertune
01:31 balances string tension to keep your guitar consistently intonated and in tune as you
01:35 bend strings and under varying temperatures and humidity changes.
01:46 Next up are the high output passive Seymour Duncan sentient and Nasgull unbucking pickups.
01:51 The Nasgull bridge combines a large ceramic magnet with custom winding specs resulting
01:55 in a perfect blend of note articulation, saturation and pick attack for aggressively brutal chugging
02:02 and the sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone for pristine cleans and clarity
02:07 with fluid leads under high gain.
02:14 Other notable features include an ash top on a mahogany body, a five-piece maple and
02:18 walnut neck for maximum stability and tone transfer, a next-gen Cort logo, staggered
02:24 locking tuners for easy string changing, spoke nut hot rod truss rod for convenient neck
02:29 adjustments, stainless steel frets and an ebony fretboard with lumen lay side dots.
02:36 The sleek KX700 Evertune is one of the most audacious metal guitars available from Cort
02:41 with cutting edge componentry like its Evertune bridge for maximum tuning stability and premium
02:46 metal voice pickups like its Seymour Duncan sentient and Nasgull humbucker set for extreme
02:52 metal riffing along with optimum playability for technical playing.
02:57 Overall, the KX700 Evertune from Cort has a great compact and taut feel ideal for metal
03:03 proving it is hard to beat.
03:05 Definitely check it out.
