Cort KX100 Double Cutaway Metallic Ash

Meet the Cort KX100 Double Cutaway Metallic Ash, the entry-level gateway into the acclaimed KX Series. Built to deliver big, aggressive tone without breaking the bank, this guitar blends sturdy construction with modern styling to meet the needs of beginners stepping up their game and players seeking a dependable workhorse for gigs and rehearsal alike.

Why the KX100 stands out

• High-output Powersound pickups drive your amp and pedals with articulate attack and tight, musical highs that cut through dense mixes.
• Hardtail bridge delivers rock-solid tuning stability and a punchy, direct tone that responds instantly to your picking dynamics.
• Simple control layout — 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way toggle give you immediate access to a range of usable tones, so you can focus on playing.
• Durable, modern build with Nyatoh body, hard maple neck, and a Jatoba fretboard that emphasizes strong fundamentals and clear note definition.
• Bolt-on construction yields a big, open sound with welcoming attack and easy maintenance.
• Contemporary aesthetics featuring a metallic ash finish and the modern Next Gen Cort logo that complements the aggressive X and KX styling.

Designed for fast, expressive playing, the KX100 combines long-scale presence with a comfortable feel. The 25.5" scale and 15.75" fretboard radius keep riffing and lead work precise, while 24 frets give you plenty of room for soaring solos. Die-cast tuners ensure steady tuning as your ideas evolve from chunky rhythms to melodic lines.

Who this guitar is ideal for

• Beginners and progressing players who want a reliable, affordable instrument with unmistakable metal-leaning voice.
• Home studios and rehearsal rooms needing a versatile guitar that records well and sits well in a dense mix.
• Live performers who value consistent tone, stable setup, and a striking stage presence.

Sound, feel, and practical tips

The Cort Powersound humbuckers are designed to drive amps and pedals hard while preserving articulation across the gain range. Bridge-position tones deliver punchy rhythms and aggressive lead edges; neck-position tones offer warmer, fuller cores for sustained notes. The 3-way toggle makes it quick to switch between pickups or blend them for a balanced, high-energy sound on stage.

Practical tips to get the most from the KX100:

• Use the bridge pickup for tight rhythm chug and cutting leads in metal and hard rock settings.
• Switch to the neck pickup for fat, sustain-rich solo tones when you want more body without cranking the gain.
• Tweak the 1-volume, 1-tone controls to sculpt your core voice before you hit the stompbox or amp channel.
