So first things first, lets not take into consideration that the guitar came shipwrecked from the shop ! cracked body on neck, big gap on neck joint, scratched body, damaged nut etc. Also note that it seems folks are selling used guitars as new. This came from their local distributor ( Music Mayer ), without QC tags, rusted strings and some additional padding in the box which is 100% not from factory..... Anyways this was an instant return/RMA.
ok now about the guitar.
This model is supposed to be a new version of previous kx507ms
What's new:
- stainless steel frets (previous model had nickel)
- 8 string Fishman Fluence (previous model had 7 string ones)
- pale moon ebony finish ( previous poplar burl top )
- Hardware colour ( previous chrome black )
What's the same:
- terrible fretwork (high/popped frets all around the neck)
- claiming they use Fishmas Fluence v2 with voice 3 - unfortunately those are the same old Fishmans, where Single coil needs to be soldered on => which provides 30% lower volume on Single coil, bummer
- neck dive
- bridge saddles not aligned with holes so re-stringing is very inconvenient
- razor sharp body edges / without long and padded wrist band you might cut your veins ! a true death metal guitar indeed
side note: Cort youtubers showcase the guitar that it includes a gig bag - that's total fake !
