Cort KX508MS II Marina Blue Burst Reviews

This guitar became my third eight-string guitar. I bought it as an experiment to install sintoms 4.3 frets and I wanted to feel the multiscale. The workmanship is very decent, no worse than analogues from schecter and ibanez, the price of which exceeds the price of this guitar. I live in Kazakhstan, in a region with a temperature difference from -15 to +35 and with a large difference in humidity. I want to note that in such unfavorable conditions, the guitar neck behaves very stably and after the first tuning, I did not touch the truss rod. The guitar workshop was able to rebuild the instrument to a height of 1 millimeter above 12 on the first string and 2.1 on the eighth string. From the sound, I can say that the electronics impressed me so much that it forced me to switch to fishman modern on several basic guitars. In conclusion, I can say that the Cort tool turned out to be very successful.

Great 8 string

I have this guitar for a few months now and am very pleased with it. The Fishman pickups sound huge and the coil taps/push-pull knobs give a lot of possibilities for tonal variety. Very sturdy, looks beautiful with a great porous wood satin texture and it's one of the only 28 inch multiscale 8 string guitars out there in the under 1000 euro price range.

The only minor points have come down to QC. For a guitar in this price I would have expected a very smooth finish on the neck and frets but was not exactly the case. While the satin feel on the neck is great, around the 12th fret there seems to be a small patch of unfinished, somewhat rough wood, plus some frets do seem to be a tiny bit sharp. Having said that, it is not like I'm getting splinters and fret cuts, it runs quite smooth but for the price I do consider those minor points.

In general, I'm very happy with it and it is definitely a keeper!

Great sounding guitar! Very stable

This is my first 8 string multiscale. Until now I've always played a standard 6 string but this time I figured maybe try something new.

Pros: Pickups are great sounding in all voices, really crisp tone. I'm not sure how long the battery lasts, but hopefully it will stay for a while.

Fretboard is quick, kind of like an Ibanez, but has a contour on the neck for which follows your the actual movement of your hands which is great.

The tuners are very stable even at really low tuning.

Very light guitar for an extended scale.

Cons: The surface of the body has very small imperfections, but nothing that worrisome. But I still like a full clean, clear coated smooth body.

Output jack gets really sticky sometimes and I have a hard time getting the cable out, but otherwise the wiring feels stable even while playing heavy.

Overall a good guitar for the price, especially with the electronics it offers.
