IF YOU VENTURE outside the mainstream brands, you'll find that Cort Guitars has been rolling out an impressive array of their very own premier guitar models that are not only visually striking but come loaded with upscale hardware and electronics. It's a significant observation considering Cort is known to manufacture guitars for other makers, yet their signature instruments often take a backseat to more popular guitar brands. But that hasn't prevented Cort from keenly following modern guitar trends in order to revamp their KX Series, which caters to progressive players who demand more than just traditional features. Case in point: the new Cort KX700 Ever Tune - with the revolutionary Ever Tune bridge and Seymour Duncan pickups - has all the makings of a dark horse instrument but is brilliantly primed to become a weapon of choice for many guitarists, further proving that Cort is well on its way to becoming a vanguard brand that can no longer be overlooked.
