You could probably get some of these price matched at Musician's Friend if you want 8% back in rewards

KX500 Etched: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/g...tar/l85752
KX300 Etched: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/g...ric-guitar

The KX700 is the lowest brand new EverTune bridge-loaded guitar I've seen thus far, typically EverTune guitars fetch upwards of $1k so that's a steal if you're interested in one.

EDIT: Review + teardown of the KX700 by Darrell Braun Guitar

Clearly Cort is paying attention. SS frets, Evertune, and a straight string pull head stock design (a la PRS). I wonder how the neck shape is? I assume shredder style (thin). I am not a good enough player to have no fret board inlays.

There are side markers which work, just takes a sec to get used to only using those. You'll have no problem!

That's a deal breaker for me too, but more because I just like the craftsmanship of inlays. I haven't played any Cort guitars, but their basses are easily among the nicest budget basses possible.

NeckIllusions and Inlaystickers.com have you covered with high quality stickers for your fretboard that not only look great and stay on (or come off, if you want), but you can't even feel they are there. There's no reason to say no to an electric guitar or bass simply because it does not have fret inlays. (With my fretless bass, I quickly learned to rely on the side dots to know where I am. That's what the pros do anyway.)

Regarding AutoTune EverTune, I wonder how all the great guitarists of the past (and present) managed at all without it. LOL!

I appreciate you attempting to help. As someone that said they like the craftsmanship of inlays, a sticker is a really unsatisfactory suggestion. I'd rather have the blank wood than stickers. Your comment on what pros do misses the point, since many (if not most) pros elect to place inlays on their signature guitars, and some are just filigree that aren't even fret markers. If someone prefers inlays, that is a legitimate reason to pass on a guitar.

Professional guitarists of the past just played on decent instruments that would hold tune for a few songs. Then they switched guitars, and a guitar tech ( a male groupie working for weed, LSD, and groupie scraps) retuned for later in the set. Evertune functionality is pretty amazing, but the weight and slightly increased effort bending that occurs even when set up well should be considered. An Evertune is a great choice for a person that can't stand to tune a guitar for a few seconds every 10 or 15 minutes, or someone that breaks a lot of strings and doesn't like stretching them or settling new ones in. It might not be the right choice for someone that loves the subtley of gentle string bends and vibrato (like ambient guitar work).

The specs on this are amazing for the price. My only holdup is that it won't be easy to sell if (when) I decide I want something different down the road. Just doesn't have the name recognition. Still, looks like an outstanding value.

I played classical guitar in college so I'm used to not having fret markers.

Specs are great for sure! I saw one in a local guitar center and it plays great but just not a big fan of how they look imo. If you like how they look, you're in for a treat.

I've been playing evertune for a while now. Absolutely worth every penny. I just paid $300 for a bare evertune bridge the other day for a new build. A full decently equipped evertune guitar for $700 is a STEAL. Going on stage and playing an entire show knowing without a doubt that your guitar is in tune the whole time is just amazing. There's no stopping to tune, or checking your tune between songs ... you just focus on your playing.

Chiming in to say I LOVE Evertune and these specs for the price are amazing. Typically $800+ for a USED Evertune of any type. I now have six (!) Evertune guitars and the confidence of playing a show with minimal tuning is so awesome.

Would this be a good guitar for my grandson? He's in a John Denver cover band that plays out of a plane and they crash the plane at the end of every concert so he needs a guitar that will stay in tune.

Evertune is kind of a pain, tbh. You might like it but I'd recommend get a guitar that doesn't go out of tune as much instead.
