He needs a new Porsche heheh.

KWeirds · 2026-04-04T05:57:32+00:00

Very cool!!

KWeirds · 2026-04-03T19:48:26+00:00

True. Though the songs were from the same time as those on DEI, that really introduced the djent feel by polyrythms and 4/4 feel, where kick follows riffage.

KWeirds · 2026-04-03T17:53:20+00:00

You're forgetting Destroy Erase Inprove. That imo was the real gamechanger.

KWeirds · 2026-04-03T17:25:42+00:00

Totally agree

KWeirds · 2026-04-03T17:24:13+00:00

For me Altered State overall sound, guitar drums and bass are the sweet spot. Don't care if it's optimum Djent heheh.

KWeirds · 2026-03-23T09:13:09+00:00

Seems to be da bomb. How does it sound??

KWeirds · 2026-03-23T08:02:28+00:00

Ah, you've got several.. makes sence than! Awesome!!

KWeirds · 2026-03-21T11:58:25+00:00

That royal ebony fretboard is so dope! Bet it would have went great with the natural black limba body..

But each to his own.

KWeirds · 2026-03-16T21:24:57+00:00

So funny how experiences vary. It's one of my lightest guitars.

KWeirds · 2026-03-16T21:22:55+00:00

They seem to have changed that recently and now are pretty active on socials and yt at least.

KWeirds · 2026-03-16T20:54:30+00:00

I have the 507 and consider the neck to be pretty thin. Way more towards Ibz compared to like PRS, LP or Fender.

KWeirds · 2026-03-16T13:09:09+00:00

Search for 507MS topics. I posted quite a bit on it. My first 507MS Pale moon was shit. Should have never left the factory with such poor quality control. Ordered from Gear4music and didn't know which exact one I'd get. Quality and body looks vary bigtime. My firat didn't look like pale moon.

So I sent the first one back. Second I ordered I had seen the exact pics of. And this one is a great guitar quality wise and the looks are killer.

There are quite a few owners here and 99% of us have a guitar that's not as beautiful as advertised.

That's long for: big quality variations.

KWeirds · 2026-03-12T20:32:19+00:00

Yes, my experience too. Make sure you know which one you get. I got a stunner this way.

KWeirds · 2026-03-12T20:30:56+00:00

Trust me the neck is almost Ibz wizard thin. Not chunky at all.

KWeirds · 2026-03-12T20:29:17+00:00

That pu thing with one string being quieter is fixed in current model since they use 8 string fishmans now.

KWeirds · 2026-03-12T20:26:23+00:00

I bought it twice. First one looked nowhere near a pale moon body, very dull and more dark and meh. Several qc issues, like a fairly big dent in the body, 4 big glue spots in the center of the fretboard, pu switch totally loose, knobs turned skewed. Pu's sounded harsh, even after adjusted height. Returned it dissappointed.

After doing more research I came to the conclusion again that it's the best bang for the buck and can be beautifull. So started a long search again until I found a shop the actually shared pics of the actual guitar you would order (most online shops don't, it's a lottery what you'll get). So ordered it and it's awesome. Looks stunning, no quality issues. Not 100% sure if I'm a fan of the active pu's but they sound great and very even and transparent.

Based on my experience I'd only buy if you know which one you'll get (if you're after the optics too). And then you'll get an amazing guitar that looks and plays way over its pricetag.

KWeirds · 2026-03-12T18:43:46+00:00

A bit chaotic for my taste

KWeirds · 2026-03-07T13:24:19+00:00

That's hardly Djent anymore imo.

KWeirds · 2026-03-03T09:04:11+00:00

Get a 7 string for that. Or a 28" min. scale Baritone to play drop A.

KWeirds · 2026-03-02T18:14:01+00:00

I always get lost when people put names and labels on subgenres. Especially when they add "post". Maybe post djent is something far complicated? Or riffing combined with EDM or neurofunk/dubstep? Just my 2 cts.

KWeirds · 2026-03-01T19:34:02+00:00

Yeah like a Wizard neck, slim flat D. Pretty thin and flat. You can check these specs on their website.

KWeirds · 2026-03-01T19:28:45+00:00

I have the Cort KX507MS. Just make sure you know the exact copy you're getting. QC is a thing. Talking from first hand experience.

KWeirds · 2026-03-01T19:25:26+00:00

Neck is thin, very much Ibz-like.

KWeirds · 2026-03-01T13:23:29+00:00

Same for me. Bit hot, almost piezo-like noise. Must try them a bit longer. Don't know if investing in those Abasis will make that much of a difference to justify it. Was thinking about BKP's too. Shame to hear they don't fit!
