![Guitar Talk | CORT KX300 ETCHED REVIEW [EMG Retroactive Super77]](/img/n.gif)
Probably the most detailed reviews on CZcams, always worth a look.
Most professional review channel, thank you!
Loved your review...Using KX300 etched Black Gold! And I'm in love with it!!!!... waiting for part 2 buddy!
Awesome review, exactly what is was looking for
Keep them coming those great guitar reviews! ❤️👌🏻👏👍
Like others have said, amazing in depth review. Well done!
Love your vids Max, great work
Another fine technical revue. Well done Max!
Thanks Chris!
Just went ahead and bought my cort kx500 etched deep purple after seeing your review. Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful review of the guitar !!!
Naresh bhai, Guitar kem che?
Amazing review!
Like your vids Max,good thorough job.
Love your thorough methods. I am really getting to like the headstock shape, size a design.
Amazing way of reviewing guitar 👍
These are the best reviews on youtube. Some of the points aren't things I really care about but I'm sure for some they change whether or not they'll buy it or not. Thank you for these. Also! Please never stop doing the neck measurements and comparisons! That's such a big selling point for me and it's something that's so hard to know without having it in your hand. You bridging that gap has been super helpful!
Best reviewer ever, exactly what I was looking for.
Best part was showing tone change as voice changes, with string still rings. (So that I could see volume difference. Most reviews don’t show that)
I am looking foward you to review one of new cort guitar, x700 mutility if you have a chance. You could compare with this one.
Thanks!
I was just looking at X700 and other guitars at Cort website the other day. I don't know which model but another Cort will make an appearance on my channel soon
Wow. Very cool video!
Very informative.
I subscribed 👍👏👏👏👏
very good review !
Damn, Max, you can really play, comrade! Enjoyed the song as much as the review. Maybe more.
Thanks Steve. This track was fun to compose and play
Awesome review, exactly what is was looking for. Tks for helping me choose my guitar. I'm from Curitiba - PR(Brazil)
Fala mano, beleza? Chegou a comprar? O que tá achando da guitarra?
I found this guitar randomly at a guitar center near my house and neber owning a cort this thing found me and i loved it...thinking imma buy it tomorrow
Epic performance
perfectly played
I actually own this guitar.. I waited 6 months for delivery here in the US. Honestly, I haven’t played it much because during the wait, I bought a fender Stratocaster Ultra SSS in Aged Natural (Solid Swamp Ash) and have primarily been playing it.. Time to pull this one out again (before the 9 volt dies lol).
Very good review! Отличный обзор, как всегда!
Awsome guitar
Love the video. What tool were you using to measure the string gauge?
Excellent review of a very good guitar! 👌🏼👍🏼
If the battery was mounted further back it would helped against neckdive… simple things have often a big impact, if overlooked…
Neck dive shows that its a light guitar, have you tried shifting the strap to the truss rod bolt on screws .
@@fredmad4988
I moved the back strap button up about 3,5 - 4 inches. Helps a tiny bit against neckdive, but generally hangs better and more comfortable on the strap. Did it on all 6 of my guitars.
Hello Max, Im just curious if you could review the Harley Benton fan fret 7? Just for us to know your thoughts about that guitar, awesome reviews as always, more power to you 🙏
Amazing review sir! If possible, could you take a look at the cort g260cs ? It's got a lot of interesting specs for the price
I might be looking at one of the G models later this year!
New subscriber here, thanks for telling me how to read my Cort serial number 😁
I have one, and it's a great beast for that price, in Europe the price may vary quite a bit, I had 1 issue with the guitar, and that is that it drains my battery all the time, I don't leave it pluged in, quick fix is that I always pull the battery out :) great guitar if I may say 🤙
And what a great review you did!!! Keep on!👏👏👏
The best Guitar Reviewer on youtube...... sadly his work is not appreciated much here........ I don't know why......... Keep it up..... Your intro music is just Faduu as always....... "Faduu" means Mind Blowing Blasting Boggling here in India........
Wow, thanks!
Man I love fishman pickups, wish I could afford them
It's the best review i ever seen! Thanks man! Can you please do the same with cort kx700 with evertune?
Thanks. KX700 is not something I have in plans. But I definitely want to try a guitar with evertune some day
gracias , excelente
I am a beginner and I bought Cort X700 Duality. Hope it won't disappoint me.
i love cort guitars. I have kx 5 kx 500ms and they are fucking awesome.
For a metal drop tuning, I’m hesitate between:
- harley benton amarok
- Cort kx500 etched
- PRS SE Mark Holcomb
Any comments please :-) 🤘
EC-1000
is it ok for c tuning ?
Please review Cort x500 menace
Does the guitar have luminescent side dots? (luminlay)
👍👏👏👏
Max please tell me your honest opinion about the neck profile! Is it thin like Ibanez? Is it shreddable?
It is in a way similar to Ibanez Wizard profile but much thicker. It's a D versus thin U on Ibanez. I'd say it's absolutely shreddable. But so is any other neck: at least for me the shape and thickness don't matter at all.
@@MaxSoloMusic thank you very much for your honest reply! I need to check this tesla you are putting in the guitar ;)
kx500 ms multisacala ??? when
Hi!
How do you rate this guitar by comparison with Harley Benton Amarok 6 which you also checked and tested?
Hey. They do similar things in a somewhat different manner. KX500 will generally be more versatile while Amaroks used to have slightly more cosmetic imperfections. But that was like a few years back. I didn't have a chance to look at newer HB batches, they're constantly improving
А как долго держится батарейка? Один знакомый купил на авито практически новый (неюзанный) Cort KX 500 Etched Black (то есть такой же как в этом видео) и у него батарейки хватает лишь на неделю...
С тех пор как гитара приехала, в середине прошлого года или даже раньше, ни разу не менял
Была такая же проблема с этой гитарой, покапал новой в магазине Pop-music. Отнес по гарантии, оказалось, что проблема в распайке темброблока. Джек постоянно был "замкнут", и гитара при вынимании провода не выключалась. Возможно, у вас проблема в том же
100 часов если что. Если батарея не совсем бедовая, но после 7 вольт звук немного тухнет.(как раз неделя если шнурок не вынимать)
makassar ebony can be really clear there isno issue with that
These pickups always seem to sound quite thin
Love your vids but I still find the whole noise thing a little bit exaggerated xD
It might as well be :)
Kx500 vs armorock?
Amarok opps
@@tomsamtomsam5193 they're in slightly different price categories. I find myself playing the KX500 more than my Amarok-6
@@MaxSoloMusic Thanks I'm torn between the two. Bang for $ and easy plug in out different pickup on both makes both appealing. So far it's the steel frets leaning me to one side.
Your eyes
It should be completely black 😭
I wish they'd all go back to the old kramer/charvel/Jackson headstocks instead of this new style.i don't like these headstocks at all.these things have made me not buy a guitar because of it.everything else is badass.
ALL guitars from indonesia will develop fret sprout. It's because it's coming from the most humid possible conditions in the world....any where it arrives will have less humidity, the wood WILL shrink and fret sprout WILL happen.
I propose we ask the world to stop making guitars in Indonesia or any other high humidity environment.
yeah, not gonna happen I know.
@@Feverdream7777 will find out in 20 years I guess. But speaking of guitars made in Indonesia, usually when a guitar with sharp fret end arrives to my place sharp ends disappear in a week or two. Happened to me multiple times with Harley Bentons , and twice with Cort KX300. But not with this particular KX500
