CORT KX500 BARITONE Long Neck Natural Black Burst Electric Guitar

 KX500 BARITONE  CORT 

 Long Neck Natural Black Burst Electric Guitar 

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.

Dialed In for the Drop

A baritone that holds its tension, its tone, and its character no matter how low you go.

Built Around the Right Pickups

The Sentient and Nazgûl™ are the foundation this baritone is built around. The Nazgûl drives with the kind of output and definition that high-gain playing demands, while the Sentient keeps the neck position clear and musical. Paired with the scale and construction choices throughout, the tone holds together exactly where it needs to.

The Scale Length That Works in Your Favor

At 28.03″, the KX500 Baritone sits in the range where string tension works in your favor. Low tunings stay 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.

The Neck That Holds Its Ground

The roasted maple and walnut 5-ply neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard isn't just a spec list. It's a construction approach that keeps the guitar playing consistently, whether you're in a cold venue or a humid rehearsal space. At an extended scale length, neck stability isn't optional. It's the difference between a guitar that stays in tune and feels right, and one that constantly needs attention.

Built to Feel as Good as It Sounds

A baritone should feel right, not like a compromise. The KX500 Baritone is comfortable, natural, and smooth to play. The kind of guitar that gets out of your way and lets you focus on the music.

Low Tuning, Wider Range

A baritone tuned low doesn't have to live in one tonal space. The coil-tap capability lets the KX500 Baritone switch between full humbucker output and single-coil tones, opening up clean passages, arpeggios, and ambient textures that most baritones simply can't access.
