Always a great analysis of the instruments. Well done Max.
That was the most detailed guitar review I've ever watched. Incredible work!
this is by far the most detailed video i have ever watched about anything on youtube. even cort's official website doesn't provide this much detailed information. thanks a lot.
Damn this is a really serious guitar review channel, I love you going in to detail. Most people just read what is said on the product page.
My god, this is the most detailed guitar review I've ever seen, your work is amazing. Very well done!
This was my first time to see one of your videos Max, and I'm extremely impressed with the level of detail. Every time a question occurred to me, you answered it a moment later, plus a lot of other stuff that I wouldn't even think to ask. Excellent work.
Oh wow the way you measure necks is just perfect. This is exactly what I've been searching for!!
I love that you give all the measurements. Awesome work bro
I have the Black etched one! And I love it! After one whole year a detailed review of my guitar..haha Loved it! Waiting for part 2!!!
These are the best reviews on KZread, deserves more views

One of the best, if not the best guitar reviews, and i think i watched A LOT of them. Especially the neck explanation part with comparisons to other necks. The intro piece reminded me of Pete Thorn type production and composition, loved it. Subbed, liked and all, well done, sir.

Great review My ax and obviously by your rating scale a fantastic value for money rock machines. Kudo as always bro.
Dude I love the neck comparisons!! Subscribing just for that!
Great review! Very thorough. Watching from Upstate Née York. Ibanez fan here. Especially my 1990 American Master MA3HH. Was curious about cort guitars because I remembered back in the 90s they were total crap. Nice to see the quality had improved! Thanks for the review. I subscribed.
As most of the others have mentioned, this is one of the best detailed review of a guitar. Hope you do it to the other guitars from Solar, LTD/ESP, Chapman and other models of Cort.
You are the best guitar reviewer on planet earth. I was planning to buy this guitar, but thanks to you. I'm getting another Ibanez.

@@MaxSoloMusic Hi Max! Just dropping by to say thank you for helping me to decide to buy this guitar with your review. I got KX300 the non-etched version and pretty much everything you said was spot on! The sound is fantastic (great pups and body material), Super 77 really punches above its weight. The body and fretwork finishes are a bit rough but I can live with that. My only issues are the neck which is too thick for my hands, and the chrome tuners/bridge which somehow get corroded easily. Keep up the good work!
Temple Tx. Found the channel looking for reviews of guitars. Favorite guitars are les Paul Traditional, Jackson soloist, Michael Kelly Hex Deluxe and Harley Benton DC 550. The HB is brand new and was impressed with how it feels and sounds, I had them do set up and put on Grover locking tuners I am very impressed with how this cheap guitar feels better than my Jackson Soloist
Great performance!
Just found your channel, Max. Amazing! Keep up the good job, you're not only making videos, this is art!
The detail of these reviews is incredible. And now I want another guitar bro...lol

Hi Max! Have you checked out the Cort G300? I was looking at your neck comparison and thought about how would the G300 look
I'm really surprised how warm and un-active these sounded when compared to the Fishman. Just proves once again why I don't like conventional active pickups but the Super 77 set sounds really good to be fair.
If cort makes a 24 fret explorer with the etched finish, I will be buying it asap.
hi can you plz tell the difference between the cort kx300 vs cort kx300 etched . they both have similar specs but there is a massive price difference between them , also they both have different string through body fixed bridges

This review is so good that again I have doubts about which guitar to choose. For months I have been between the Ibanez RGA42FM and the Cort KX-300, both have almost the same specifications, almost the same price, even similar colors. I'm looking for the most versatile guitar for playing metal (Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Megadeth, Amon Amarth, Fear Factory) ... Help me choose !!
@MaxSoloMusic
3 жыл бұрын
You won't go wrong with any of them. Both produced at the same factory, so quality wise they are identical. Ibanez branded guitars are usually more expensive. So if we're looking at two guitars from these two brands priced the same, we can expect Cort to have a bit higher specs and features

Hey, thanks! It would be interesting to hear about your first impression when the guitar arrives. Just one more thing that was brought to my attention after my Cort videos were published: a couple of people reported the battery had a tendency to die very quickly. If you experience similar symptoms, check the output connector. One or two of its contacts may be touching the shielding inside the body causing a short circuit, meaning the active circuit in the guitar is always on even without the cable plugged. Very rarely but this happens. And it's easy to fix

Honestly I'd rather get a Harley Benton Fusion-II. A lot more value for the price. Maybe selling the EMGs and putting some IronGear pickups mitigates the price difference a little.

It always sounds disturbing to me when a guitarist hits just one note with that pinch harmonic technique, common in heavy metal.
