Cort KX500 Electric Guitar - Pale Moon

The KX500 Pale Moon features a mahogany body producing warm, rich tones with strong midrange and low-end response. Its Pale Moon ebony top adds a dramatic and unique aesthetic, while the matte open-pore Natural Black Burst finish highlights the natural beauty of the wood. A bolt-on, 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck improves resonance and durability, paired with a comfortable D-shaped profile measuring 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth. The 25.5-inch scale length neck is topped with a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets, a 15.75-inch radius, luminous, glow-in-the-dark side dots, and teardrop inlays. A Graph Tech® Black TUSQ® nut (43mm) and two-way truss rod with spoke nut enhance performance, comfort, tuning stability, and sustain.

Loaded with a Seymour Duncan® Sentient and Nazgul humbucker set, the KX500 Pale Moon excels in both high-gain aggression and expressive dynamics. The Nazgul bridge pickup delivers crushing low-end response, sharp attack, and saturated tone, while the Sentient neck pickup provides smooth, articulate cleans and fluid leads. Electronics are kept intuitive with a 1-volume, 1-tone control layout and a 3-way selector switch.

The guitar’s hardware includes Cort® locking tuners for fast, precise tuning and stability, while the new Cort® hardtail bridge with string-through-body construction enhances sustain and resonance. The instrument comes factory-fitted with D’Addario® EXL110 strings, rounding out a feature set designed to meet the demands of modern players.
