The Cort KX500 Pale Moon Electric Guitar in Natural Black Burst is built for aggressive tone, surgical precision, and unmistakable visual impact. Featuring a stunning Pale Moon ebony veneer top, each guitar showcases dramatic, one-of-a-kind woodgrain patterns that make every instrument truly unique. Designed for modern players who demand both power and personality, the KX500 delivers boutique-level aesthetics and performance. Available from Sky Music Australia, it’s a standout choice for high-gain players and technical musicians alike.

At the heart of the KX500 is a purpose-built Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nazgûl pickup set, delivering tight, articulate lows, aggressive midrange punch, and clear, cutting highs. Whether you’re chugging heavy riffs or playing fluid leads, this HH configuration provides exceptional clarity and control under high gain. The straightforward control layout keeps things intuitive, allowing you to focus on performance while easily dialing in your sound.

Playability is equally refined, featuring a 5-ply roasted maple and walnut neck with a fast D-shaped profile for smooth, effortless movement across the fretboard. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 15.75” radius and 24 stainless steel jumbo frets ensures durability and precision, while premium components like a Graph Tech nut, locking tuners, and a hardtail bridge provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. Built to perform under pressure, the KX500 is engineered for speed, reliability, and modern performance.
