Cort KX500 NBB Baritone Electric Guitar ( Natural Black Burst )

The KX500 Baritone is built for players who live in low tunings, delivering the scale length, string tension, and pickup performance that make every drop feel like home rather than a compromise.

At 28.03 inches, the KX500 sits in a range where string tension works in your favor. Low tunings stays responsive, notes retain their definition, and the feel under your hands is controlled rather than slack. It’s the kind of scale length that disappears once you start playing.

A lightweight Okoume body delivers a warm, resonant tone with clear low-end response, keeping heavy sounds tight and well-defined. The English Walnut veneer top features a striking grain pattern that gives the instrument a distinctive and visually captivating character.

A match pickup set built for modern high-gain performance, from clean passages to full output.

Ideal for technical and expressive play, stainless steel frets are smooth, durable, and ensure long-lasting performance even under heavy use.

Glow-in-the-dark side markers allow precise fret navigation in dark environments – perfect for live performances.

The new Cort hardtail bridge offers a sleek, modern look. Its string-thru-body construction enhances sustain and improves resonance across the body.

The neck is made of a 5-piece roasted maple and walnut laminate for improved resonance and durability.

The Cort Locking Tuners provide excellent tuning stability as well as ease of tuning and string changes. A simple, elegant and efficient way of tuning, these tuners will allow you to focus on your playing.
