Cort EVL K-6 Review

From many kind of Cort Guitar product may be EVL K-6 is the most qualified.The bluff resulted from it's appearance is "scary". Especially when we hear the sound it's truly designed for the rock music.

Here I try to review it based on these following aspects:

Cort EVL K-6

1. APPEARANCE Is the main attractive thing from this guitar. Jet black color that gothic character plus inlay foster the impression that made this guitar really 'dark' nuanced. Electric guitar in general use glossy finish. But it often makes us aggravation in terms of cleanliness. For guitarists who are reluctant to have a stain that looks stuck in his guitar, sometimes glossy finish makes the use of fingerprints and a former stamp oily hands stuck to the body, so it is very troublesome to keep clean. So EVL K-6 comes with a solution to that problem. This guitar uses doff finishing the paint surface is not easy to make a dirty look like another guitar.  
2. HARDWARE The hardware side of K-6 have qualities that middle-and upper-level entrance. Body Mahony made of wood, maple neck, and ebony fingerboard. EVL K-6 is one of the few types of guitar that uses the output Cort ebony on the fingerboard where there is a 24 fret with jumbo size. Construction between the neck and body-type set-in makes the guitar more stable. 3 way toggle and 2 knobs (volume and tone) to support the configuration of 2 pieces of the legendary output EMG humbucker pickups. EMG81 on the bridge, EMG85 on the neck, where both are active pickups which soundnya supported by a 9V battery box. Pickup part is what usually most unnecessary attention of the guitarist. Naturally considering two pickup combinations are never used by the legend Dimebag Darrel and Zakk Wylde. But actually more rock and metal guitarist who uses the service of this pickup. K-6 also use the up-down tremolo that is quite soft in terms of pull and pressure. But if you find a problem in terms of stability tune of the strings, it is commonplace in the use of up-down tremolo. Maybe you should use the tremolo guitar that cost more than this if you want really stable like a guitar with a fixed-bridge or a stop-tailpiece. 
3. SCALE K-6's neck using C-type profile shape. Using a 25.5-inch scale for adjusting the fret amount . All Cort guitar production uses 25.5-inch scale 24 fret for any use, except for series G. Setting K-6 string action when you just bought at the store are usually pretty medium-lead to high. This is to provide a more harsh tone and sustain that long. Such settings are also more suitable for the portion of the balance between melody and rhythm techniques typical rock guitarist. 
4. SOUND One word which is already adequately represented by his appearance, Rock! Because using active pickups, then the influence of the type of wood and other hardware factors into the sound is generally not as if we use passive pickups. But basically use EMG81 & EMG85 output which is a solution that has a high correlation with the visual display his guitar.   

CONCLUSION : Highly recommended for guitarists who fall into the category of hard rock & metal. To get the sound of rock, we do not have to make pickups boosted with an additional booster or pedal drive. The price offered was in accordance with the components used. To get a guitar with tremolo up-down with bad quality and 2 active pickups you just enough to make it legendary with a nett price ranging from $ 5,000. You can get this guitar at stores that sell MG products.
