Cort KX Series KX100BKM Electric Guitar, Black Metallic Finish

The Cort KX100BKM is the entry point to the renowned KX Series, crafted for players who want serious tone and reliability without stretching their budget. Finished in a stealthy Black Metallic, this guitar blends modern punch with smooth playability—perfect for practicing, recording, or taking the stage by storm.

• Powersound pickups: High-output humbuckers that push your amp and pedals hard while preserving articulation, so every riff and bend stays clear and loud in the mix.
• Hardtail bridge: Stays in tune through aggressive picking, palm-muting, and tremolo-free stability for a consistent performance.
• Simple, expressive controls: 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way toggle give you fast access to a wide palette of tones— from tight cleans to roaring high-gain tones.
• Jatoba fretboard: Dense and stiff, delivering focused fundamentals and strong volume projection with a bright high-mid emphasis for cutting solos and rhythm parts.
• Bolt-on construction: An open, resonant voice with bold note definition, designed for tonal clarity and easy future upgrades.

Details that matter in real life

The KX100BKM pairs a Basswood body with a Hard Maple neck for a balanced, resonant foundation. The Jatoba fretboard features a 400㎜ (15.75") radius and 24 frets, offering comfortable, precise fretting and easy access to upper registers. A 648mm (25.5") scale length keeps strings tight and harmonically clear, ideal for riffing and fast playing styles. Die-Cast tuners and a reliable hardtail bridge lock in tuning even under energetic stage performances, while the black hardware completes the sleek, modern look.

What you’ll love about it in practice

Whether you’re dialing in a tight metal rhythm, soaring lead lines, or chunky hard rock chords, the KX100BKM delivers a versatile sonic footprint. The Powersound humbuckers respond well to pedal chains and high-gain amps, yet retain clarity on cleaner tones. The simple control layout keeps your focus on playing, not knob-twiddling, making it a dependable workhorse for rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions.
