Cort KX508MS II Marina Blue Burst

as i already own an ibanez universe with 7 strings i thought what could be even more fun? of course owning an 8 string guitar with wonky frets to make guitar playing even more confusing! the guitar was delivered in good time, in perfect condition thanks to thomann, the guitar itself is a stunner, the color looks beautiful, the finish perfect, the action set to my liking, the fishman pickups sound superb and give excellent clarity on the low strings, adjusting to the fanfrets was suprisingly easy, the extra strings enable me to replicate meshugga and baby metal riffs to annoy my neighbours perfectly. i chose the cort over other well know brands as it is known they are built in the same factories as some of the other big name brands, quality materials, great build quality and sound fantastic, i would not hesitate to buy another cort guitar, if your on the fence give them a try, super guitars

I have this guitar for a few months now and am very pleased with it. The Fishman pickups sound huge and the coil taps/push-pull knobs give a lot of possibilities for tonal variety. Very sturdy, looks beautiful with a great porous wood satin texture and it's one of the only 28 inch multiscale 8 string guitars out there in the under 1000 euro price range.

The only minor points have come down to QC. For a guitar in this price I would have expected a very smooth finish on the neck and frets but was not exactly the case. While the satin feel on the neck is great, around the 12th fret there seems to be a small patch of unfinished, somewhat rough wood, plus some frets do seem to be a tiny bit sharp. Having said that, it is not like I'm getting splinters and fret cuts, it runs quite smooth but for the price I do consider those minor points.

In general, I'm very happy with it and it is definitely a keeper!

This guitar became my third eight-string guitar. I bought it as an experiment to install sintoms 4.3 frets and I wanted to feel the multiscale. The workmanship is very decent, no worse than analogues from schecter and ibanez, the price of which exceeds the price of this guitar. I live in Kazakhstan, in a region with a temperature difference from -15 to +35 and with a large difference in humidity. I want to note that in such unfavorable conditions, the guitar neck behaves very stably and after the first tuning, I did not touch the truss rod. The guitar workshop was able to rebuild the instrument to a height of 1 millimeter above 12 on the first string and 2.1 on the eighth string. From the sound, I can say that the electronics impressed me so much that it forced me to switch to fishman modern on several basic guitars. In conclusion, I can say that the Cort tool turned out to be very successful.
