Cort KX508 Multi-Scale II 8-string Guitar, Mariana Blue Burst

The Cort KX508 Multi-Scale II 8-string guitar in Mariana Blue Burst is a top choice for modern rock and metal musicians. It offers versatility, high performance, and a cool style. With Fishman® Fluence Modern pickups, it combines the power of active pickups and the warmth of passive ones. You can get brutal distortion or sweet clean tones easily. The Poplar Burl top on an Okoume body looks great and gives a punchy midrange for aggressive playing. The multi-scale design (26.5” – 28”) provides perfect string tension for low-end chugs and high-fret solos. The Macassar Ebony fingerboard ensures effortless playability and clear high-end notes. The 5-piece Maple & Purple Heart neck is strong, stable, and gives a focused tone. The individual hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design improves sustain, string separation, and intonation. Cort® Staggered Locking Machineheads make string changes easy and keep tuning stable. The spoke nut hotrod truss rod allows for simple neck adjustments. Even with 8 strings, the 56.5㎜ nut width is comfortable for players with smaller hands. The modern 'Next Gen' Cort logo adds a nice touch.

Using this Cort KX508 guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier. You can adjust the tone and volume using the controls on the guitar. The 3 - way selector allows you to choose different pickup combinations for various sounds. When it comes to playing, the multi - scale design gives you great string tension for both low - end riffs and high - fret solos. For string changes, use the Cort® Staggered Locking Machineheads. Just loosen the strings, remove the old ones, and put on new D'Addario® NYXL0980 strings. Then tune it up. If you need to adjust the neck, use the spoke nut hotrod truss rod. But do it gently and in small increments. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and stable environment. Wipe it down after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can use a soft cloth to clean the body and fretboard. Check the tuning regularly and make sure all the hardware is tight. Also, if you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck.
