Cort KX507MS 7-String Multi-Scale Electric Guitar, Pale Moon Ebony

Cort's KX507MS is a serious modern 7-string: the frets fan from 25.5" on the high strings to 27" on the low B, so the low string gets the tension for a tight, piano-like chug while the trebles stay easy to bend. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups — the active set half the djent world uses, with two voicings each — into a mahogany body under a striking Pale Moon Ebony top. Five-piece maple/purpleheart neck with a Macassar ebony board keeps it stiff and stable.
