Fishman Electronics marry into a mahogany body for a solid tone that is rich in harmonics. Multiscale fret system ensures correct intonation even in the lowest of tunings.
Coil split and voice change tap pots allow for a universe of tonal possibility.
A great guitar for any metal playing studio or gigging professional.

This is exactly the kind of review I’ve been looking for, for years. Proper in depth, doing the instrument justice in context to what it would be used for.
Great video ❤️
Thanks so much for your kind words Haydn, so glad that you enjoyed the review. Stay Awesome! - Sam
Totally agree
I've been playing for 21 years and teaching for 8. This is literally one of the top 3 guitars I've ever had in my life and that is REALLY saying something.
Came for the guitar , stayed for the playing . You are amazing
So glad you enjoyed it Rob! Checked out your videos too, great playing! instant subscribe :) Stay awesome! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore Thank you so much .
And I just realized that you are the same guy that did the Ibanez Rg421 hpam video .
I loved your riffs in that video too .
And Arcaeon is awesome👍
@@Rob_Ethereal Massively appreciated dude! :) - Sam
That tone is insane!
Amazing demo song!
This is so exciting i didn't knew the guitarist or arcaeon was running a music store. I just searched cor multiscale and this came up.
Glad to have you involved! - Sam :)
Damn bro....a beast of guitar
Hello, thanks for this awesome review 😊 I loved its clean sounds especially single pickup modes. I am looking for a wide range guitar, i want to play sometimes blues sometimes korn, metal songs. I think this guitar fit on this scheme. I definitely go with that. 🤘🤘🤘
So glad that we helped steer you in the right direction man, thanks for this, and stay awesome! - Sam
This review was awesome. I actually ended up getting this guitar and have zero regrets. This review also made me fall in love with Arcaeon so I am begging you to please tell me where to find tabs for this song. 😭
Appreciate this so much dude! No tabs yet available as they need a bit of vetting but watch this space! Happy new year! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore Bummer, thanks for the quick response. This channel will definitely be the first place I look for future gear reviews.
Killer Sound! Love the Review! Would you recommend the 8 String Version too?
Hi there! Firstly thankyou so much for the kind words. I havent had a chance to play the 8 string version but based on how this feels and sounds and looking at the price especially I would reccomend the 8 string version too, do see if you can get somewhere to try it out before you buy though! - Stay awesome, - Sam
I literally just ordered one of these yesterday. I can't wait for it to arrive. Did you let it acclimate before unboxing or just jump into it? Great review, my man.
We usually jump straight in but make sure the guitar is given an awesome setup if there are any issues. Woudl always reccomend giving it a little while in the box, but the urge to jam is all too real with a new guitar! Your'e going to love it! Thanks for the kind words, and stay awesome! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore Awesome! Thanks for the input.
@@brenfuck
First of all...Man those are some killer riffs!! Congrats!! Top!!
The neck dives a lil, right? But is it disturbing when playing?
Did you change the strings for F#? Some say to hold that tunning on a 27 " you need a 74 to 80 string gauge
Again, nice playing!!!
For a player such as yourself, how does the neutral position on the 9th effect your playing down low vs higher up on thr Cort compared to the Ibanez MS you reviewed in another video where the neutral is on the 12th?
Mate must say just saw this video and bought the guitar (I had already ordered KX 307 MS), now I'm expecting both.
1. Awesome playing
2. Awesome track
3. Awesome techniques
4. Awesome review.
But I must say there is something missing. When the djenting stops and you talk commenting on the guitar you should have some elevator music in the background. (ruclips.net/video/VBlFHuCzPgY/видео.html)
I was thinking about this and laughed on my own. Would be awesomely oxymoron!
Man can't wait to play my new one! Kudos to your video and skill man! Make more like this!
Cheers so much for this Adam. I'll have to write something genuinely awful for the next video I do that features heavy music haha. Stay awesome - Sam
Can you do a comparison with the kx 307
Interesting thing is I have the same guitar but the logo is the old one. 🤨
Also I have a question : What was the song you played (and the tuning) ? (0:00-3:04) It was insane and the mixing on that is just awesome 😮 I would love to mix my tracks like that..
I wonder if you could make a video about mixing. 🥺
🤟
Thanks so much for your kind words dude! The song is "Ghost In The Machine" by Arcaeon.
Tuning is F# B F# B F# B F# (open f#)
What pickups does your cort have installed?
Also in terms of mixing, due to us focusing allready on live performances as part of our "live lounge" series and product demonstration, with the occasional tutorial - It would be stretching us a bit thin to focus on mix technique tutorials and shy away from our content in a way we think is best left to the channels that are primarily for learning mixing. I would reccomend checking out some of Adam "Nolly" Getgoods videos on mixing for a practical and relaxed approach to learning some great techniques for producing this sort of music.
Hope this helps! - Sam
Awesome review!! Makes it hard to choose between the 307 and the 507. I think the biggest difference apart from the weight would be the active v. passive pickups? Am I right?
The fishman pickups in this model + locking tuners make a world of difference to stability and tone, worth trying both if you can, but considering the pickups retail for so much on their own, this particular multiscale seven is a steal. Really worth the extra.
Seems like a solid instrument, except for not offering stainless steel frets!
I ordered my first Cort today: x700 Duality II (6-string)
Man some sick guitar riff on all your videos thus far . I just purchased a Schecter evil twin 7 sting but I have my eye on the cort . How thick is the neck shape on the cort ? Reason is I have medium size hands so the Schecter ultra thin neck makes it so much easier to play
Its like the inbetween of a schecter and Ibanez neck I would say but if you get a chance I always insist on trying before you buy as one persons feel for something can be totally different from anothers! Hope this helps, and thanks so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! Stay awesome! - Sam
La guitarra es hermosa y estoy apunto de comprarme una, pero uffff, que increible manera de tocar!! Sos un genio!! Lo que tocas lo compones vos?
¡Muchas gracias! La canción se llama - "Ghost In the Machine" y es de mi banda - "Arcaeon"
Realmente me alegra que hayas disfrutado el sonido de estas guitarras. ¡Mantente increíble! - Sam
Are there other similar 7 string guitars in the same price range with the same features?
Hey man, sick riffs! Do you prefer this over the IBANEZ AXION LABEL RGD71ALMS?
Gonna have to choose the ibanez, that neck though....Cheers! - Sam
Hi bud ,i've already got the 307ms and thinking about getting this guitar aswell , what was your signal chain for ya demo , thanks 👍🏻
Great playing by the way 🤘🏻
It's definately worth going for if you are into heavier styles and are into 7 strings dude, good choice.
Signal chain is: - hands - KX507MS - DI Box (not a fancy one) - split to Fender GTX50 (monitoring) split DI signal to scarlet 18i24
The final tone comes from re-amping the captured DI through Nueral DSP Archetype Petrucci amp plugin, which I have been using for all my guitar tones on the channel for a while now.
Hope this helps, and I appreciate your kind words too! Stay awesome - Sam
Thanks for getting back to me , have a great wkend 👍🏻
what caliber of strings would you recommend for her to drop f#
Nice. Just yesterday i ordered one. For F Sharp Tuning which Strings are ok? Nice playin btw😊
Thanks for your kind words dude - And yeah had no trouble with Fsharp in this video! Stay awesome - Sam
I have one of the first run of the KX507MS, in fact I had one that I had to get a warranty swap on because the top E was almost inaudible using the bridge pickup with the coil split - the replacement they sent me was better but there's still a distinct volume gap between the high E and the other strings. I was curious to know if you had the same experience?
David, this is a really good bit of feedback! I hadnt noticed this on the 3 models we have had come through and out of the shop but I wasnt neccecarily listening out for it. My advice would have been to raise the treble end of the pickup slightly? When we get another of these in I'll be sure to check this issue out. Thanks for the heads up! All the best - Sam
Also, Emgs or fishman pickups?
@@HickiesMusicStore Thanks for the response! The first one was definitely a defect of some sort, all the tricks didn't work - going up a string gauge, adjusting the pickup height etc but the one it was replaced with is only noticeable now with the coil split and hasn't needed any adjustments otherwise (although I'm sure I'm hyper aware of it too!) both had the Fishman pickups
@@davidfearon6357 Well worth taking into account, thanks so much for this feedback David, and stay awesome! - Sam
Tengo el mismo problema. Es más inaudible cuando se usa el single coil del puente. Creo que recurriré a la garantía.
hello i am from India. i am really confused to buy cort kx507 ms here in India. the guitar that is available here in India is having the old cort logo but as per website, it is having next gen cort logo. are there any differences between these two versions ? please help
Hey mate! There's no difference in the build quality, it's worth checking the spec though as if i remember correctly some of the old ones had EMG pickups in instead? In my opinion the Fishman's sound way better. Thanks for the comment! I hope that helps. :) Cheers, Ollie
@@HickiesMusicStore the one that is available have also fishman fluence modern pickups. other than the logo difference, i cannot find any difference in specs.
@@ppgogoisvlog4917 Awesome!! then go for it I reckon :D
man, do you have tabs of the song you played at the beginning of the video?
Any idea if they are nickel or stainless steel frets?
Would you say this is about even with most other name branded 7-strings in it's price range?
Good question, nope, have tried some before in this range where they are "ok" this one struck out as being very good indeed for the reasons in the video! Cheers! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore thank you! Definitely gonna get one myself when I can
How is it compared to the ibanez rgd71alms?
Heres a video on that guitar from us that may be able to give you some idea!
ruclips.net/video/tCS3uGkERuA/видео.html
Thanks for this! - Sam
have any neck drop issue in this guitar??
Great question! No weight/imbalance issues across the board, really nicely balanced. Hope this helps! - Sam
What's the weight??
Does this play much nicer than the 307? Thanks :)
Great question Francesco! I actually prefer the roasted maple neck on the 307! Something about maple fretboard feels a little more tactile on the hands to me, but thats very much a preference of mine. Go try both out if you can and make sure you choose whats right for you!, thanks again and stay awesome! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore thanks so much for the reply Sam.
I ended up ordering the 507 online. I tried a 307 I found the string tension to be a bit too much.
Maybe it was just the way it was setup.
I hope I like the 507 now haha 🤣
@@Francescofilmmaker No problem dude, and great job on trying before you buy! I think if the 307 gave you off vibes then you will love your new 507. Enjoy it and let us know if you post any vids of it! All the best- Sam
How about the nut material, nut height, & the frets when compared? Are they the same for the 507 & 307, or is one better than the other? Am asking because I can adjust saddle height & truss rod but cannot file nuts or level/polish frets. No available stocks in local store to try so have to order online.
hi, does it have a neck dive issue?
Nope, well balanced!
@@HickiesMusicStore ohh!!!
alright I'm getting one!!!!
thanks man!
@@macabrecreation1067 absolutely no problem at all. That's awesome to hear and I hope you really enjoy your new 7. Disclaimer - it's sick! Cheers! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore one more thing..... what string gauge would be best for a F# tuning?
I want to learn Spiritbox songs.
@@macabrecreation1067 I would go for a .74 for this! At most an .80 if you are ok with getting the guitar setup for it, which I would highly reccomend.
I used the stock 59 for recording this in F# in this video, as much as it did hold pretty well, I had to change my dynamics considerably as to not have the string push out of key when playing. Hope this helps! - Sam
