The Cort KX508 Multi-Scale II 8-string Guitar, Mariana Blue Burst is designed for modern rock and metal players who demand versatility, high performance, and undeniable style. This 8-string shred machine boasts Fishman® Fluence Modern pickups, the pinnacle of tonal flexibility. These innovative pickups seamlessly blend the power of active pickups with the warmth of passive pickups, allowing you to conjure up everything from brutal distortion to sweet, clean tones.

Visually, the KX508 Multi Scale II stuns with a striking Poplar Burl top meticulously placed on a Okoume body. This combination not only looks incredible, but also delivers a punchy midrange ideal for aggressive playing styles. The guitar's multi-scale design (26.5” – 28”) is a guitarist's dream, providing the perfect string tension for both low-end chugs and high-fret solos. You'll experience effortless playability and cutting high-end thanks to the Macassar Ebony fingerboard, ensuring your notes are heard clearly even in the densest mixes.

The 5-piece Maple & Purple Heart neck adds a touch of class while providing exceptional strength, stability, and a focused tone that complements the guitar's body resonance. The individual hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design enhances sustain, string separation, and intonation, guaranteeing that every note rings out true. Cort® Staggered Locking Machineheads make string changes a breeze and keep your tuning rock-solid, while the spoke nut hotrod truss rod allows for effortless neck adjustments. Even with its 8 strings, the 56.5㎜ nut width is surprisingly comfortable, accommodating players with smaller hands. The modern and sleek design of the 'Next Gen' Cort logo adds the perfect finishing touch to this aggressive instrument.
