Solid guitar, small QA issues
Suppaf 19.08.2022
Let's begin with lots of positive things about this guitar.

-It looks amazing if you are into the open pore finish, different pieces of woods blend all together and it's also a pleasure to the touch.

-The feeling from construction is very solid and not too much weighty, around 3.25Kg.

-The neck is very smooth and your hand never gets stuck, even better than satin finishes in my opinion. Neck size is in between a Jackson and Fender Stratocaster. Does not feel slim but not fat either.

-Pickups: can't say much because I'm no expert, but the sound feels 'dark' to me.

-Evertune bridge works as expected once you give a look at the video tutorials on the Evertune website and get an understanding of the inner workings.

-Frets: frets leveling is superb. They are well leveled and smooth (in both the guitars I owned). I was able to lower the action to 1mm and 0.75mm (12th fret) with some regular buzz but no strange noises. Never been able to go so down even on 1500$ guitars because one of the frets would always stick and mute the high E at some point.

-Locking tuners: always welcome.

Now some cons:

-I had to return the first one because the headstock's edge had a big bump.. no big problem, but your eye would often go there.
Both guitars were built very well but at the same time share some imperfections in the finish such as imperfectly painted lines and a bit of tool marks here and there. I think it's in the nature of the open wood and putting together different pieces to be less clean than a painted work.
But probably at 1100$ I would have expected a bit more attention to detail.

-Already experienced fret sprouts; probably the fretboard shrank under my climate and I had to smooth the edges myself.

-There is no arm carve so I get always some little red 'marks' after finishing playing. The top is not sharp at all, but your arm will rest on a steep angle nonetheless.

-It comes with a very, very cheap bag.

Conclusion: I kept the second one and I'm satisfied with my first Cort guitar; I really hope they get better with the small details.

im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes...
Ich bin über den Testbericht im G+B auf dieses Instrument aufmerksam geworden und habe gedacht...hmmm...Evertune-System...hast Du noch nicht...Versuch macht klug...

War ein guter Gedanke. Die Gitarre ist im Lieferzustand absolut edel verarbeitet, es sitzt Alles, die Optik ist, wie immer Geschmackssache, aber ich bin hell begeistert. Sehr schön gemasertes Holz, die Decke ist grandios und der Hals mit dem extradicken Ebenholzgriffbrett ein Handschmeichler.
Das Instrument beweist schon ohne Amp was in Ihm steckt, Brillianz, saubere Bässe und feine Mitten mit endlos Sustain... am Amp... holla die Waldfee, wird es hell wie arg...
Der Nazgul am Steg macht genau das wofür er konstruiert wurde...fette Lines, knochentrocken und doch saftig, genau meine Welt.
Der Sentinent ist für warme Sololinien der passende Partner, auch Clean überzeugen er und die Kombi der beiden Pickups voll, bissle Volume zurücknehmen und man hat einfach nen tollen Cleansound...herrlich.
Dass Cort qualitativ höchstwertige Gitarren baut war klar, aber diese Gitarre ist für mich in der 2500€ Liga angesiedelt, und kostet nicht mal die Hälfte.
Das Evertunesystem ist ohne Eingewöhnung direkt perfekt bespielbar und vor Allem ratzfatz auf die persönlichen Vorlieben eingestellt...und wenn das gemacht ist, ist fertig...hält was es verspricht.
Ich hab die 3 Bassaiten auf "ohne Bend" gestellt, die 3 Diskantsaiten auf "Bend" womit ich sauber im Drop-D rummetaln kann und im Solobereich alle Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten wie gewohnt habe. Extraklasse.
Beim Homerecorden hat sich das System bereits voll bewährt...die Intonation passt, Spuren doppeln ist so ein Leichtes.

Eine hervorragende Gitarre mit super Verarbeitung und Sound...was will man mehr?

L'esthétique, on aime ou on n'aime pas, mais personnellement, j'adore!

Pour le positif:
- La guitare est plutôt légère et c'est un bon point.
- Le manche est également assez fin et le confort de jeu s'en ressent.
- Le chevalet Evertune est vraiment une merveille à mon sens, c'est la seconde guitare que je possède avec ce mécanisme et cela me correspond totalement.
- Les micros passifs délivrent un son riche et précis à mon sens, qui convient très bien à un son disto comme à un son clean. Je trouve le son plus intéressant que les EMG de ma LTD (ça reste un avis personnel bien évidemment ^^).

Pour le négatif:
- La finition n'est pas parfaite si on chipote. La particularité de cette guitare est la finition avec les pores du bois apparent, cela fait donc une surface irrégulière qu'il n'est pas facile de bien finir au niveau des angles (corps et tête), les lignes ne sont donc pas parfaites par exemple.
- A voir également sa tenue dans le temps avec cette finition, je donnerai mon verdict dans quelques temps.
- Suivant la façon de jouer, le bras droit repose sur le haut du corps et cela peut irriter le bras avec les frottements, c'est le cas de beaucoup de guitare pour moi donc ce n'est pas réellement un poids négatif en soit.
- Et la guitare est livrée dans une housse de transport assez légère, pas suffisant à mon sens pour la transporter en concert, je vais devoir investir dans un case (je suis tout de même content d'avoir une housse de vendue avec)

Conclusion: Je valide pour ma part!
Elle est très agréable à jouer, le son des micros est excellent, l'esthétique me correspond tout comme le chevalet Evertune que je ne pourrais plus me passer 🤓.

Cort KX700 Evertune Open Pore Black
EvilBobban 12.10.2022
I got a link from a friend to check this beast out and i thought about it for 2 whole days and then i had to have it. When it came i had some issues with the evertune but after a while i got it to fit me. Intonation and tuning etc. After a couple of days playing im stocked. This guitar has all the features and feeling ivé had hoped for. In all 100% fantastic piece of art.
The sound is a bit different at start, gets better after a while. Used to EMG´s active.Smooth neck, easy played for sure. People who want an evertune bridge and a pure beast to play and record with. Cort do not dissapoint at all.
