Description

Cort built the KX300-EBG as part of the KX Series electric guitar line, positioning it as a variant of the KX300 platform distinguished by its Etched Black Gold finish — a matte black surface with red and gold paint applied selectively to the grain of the ash top to produce an organic, textural appearance.

The guitar is constructed on a bolt-on mahogany body with a sand-blasted ash top, a Canadian hard maple neck, and a pau ferro fretboard with a 15.75" (400mm) radius across 24 frets at a 25.5" (648mm) scale length. Hardware is finished in black nickel throughout, including die-cast tuners and a hardtail bridge with string-through-body stringing. The pickups are a matched pair of EMG® RetroActive Super77 humbuckers in a finish coordinated to the guitar's colour scheme, wired to a single volume control, a single tone control, and a three-way pickup selector.

Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or hardware replacement should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can advise on compatible parts for the tune-o-matic-style bridge and string-through body configuration.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
