Description

Cort built the KX300-EBR as part of the KX Series, positioning it as a high-output electric guitar finished in a matte black with red and gold paint applied selectively to the grain of the ash top. The etched finish treatment was designed to expose the wood's natural texture while adding visual contrast.

The guitar was constructed with a bolt-on neck joint, pairing a mahogany body with a sand-blasted ash top. The Canadian hard maple neck carried a pau ferro fretboard with 24 frets, a 15.75" (400mm) radius, and a 25.5" (648mm) scale length. A hardtail bridge with string-through-body stringing anchored the setup. EMG® RetroActive Super77 humbuckers — finished to match the instrument's hardware — drove the signal chain through a straightforward control layout: one volume, one tone, and a three-way pickup selector. All hardware was finished in black nickel, including the die-cast tuners.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the string-through hardtail bridge and black nickel hardware finish will narrow compatible replacement options; a qualified guitar technician can help identify dimensionally appropriate substitutes and advise on setup adjustments suited to the pau ferro fretboard and 400mm radius.

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.

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.
