How low can you go? These come tuned B to B, but you can get more creative if you choose....
This baritone has a 28.03" scale creating the perfect tension, and that married with two of the all time most awesome Seymour Duncan pickups elevates this one a new high...or is that low!
Here are the words of wisdom from COrt themselves and full spec -
The Sentient and Nazgûl™ are the foundation this baritone is built around. The Nazgûl drives with the kind of output and definition that high-gain playing demands, while the Sentient keeps the neck position clear and musical. Paired with the scale and construction choices throughout, the tone holds together exactly where it needs to.
At 28.03″, the KX500 Baritone sits in the range where string tension works in your favor. Low tunings stay responsive, notes retain their definition, and the feel under your hands is controlled rather than slack. It's the kind of scale length that disappears once you start playing.
The roasted maple and walnut 5-ply neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard isn't just a spec list. It's a construction approach that keeps the guitar playing consistently, whether you're in a cold venue or a humid rehearsal space. At an extended scale length, neck stability isn't optional. It's the difference between a guitar that stays in tune and feels right, and one that constantly needs attention.
