I’ve tried 8s 9s 10s and 11s and 10s it is for me. My heavy handed poor technique is best hidden with 10s

Well I seem to have retained some callouses and remembered some chords. So far so good

I love mine, esp the look but i think i’ve only taken it out of the case once since i bought it last year lol i always have my AES620 out so it’s easier to play that. I love playing my SG but the neck dive is annoying and it’s been at my friends house since just before covid started.

I have NYXL 9-46 hybrid strings on my LP and XL 10-46 on my AES. I liked the 9s when i first played it, esp for bends but the 10s are ok on the yamaha, i’ve gotten used to them. It has really big frets and it’s super easy to bend notes sharp. The difference between 9s and 10s was surprisingly noticeable but i was going from the pacifica to a LP which i think is the same scale length as your Cort so they have even less tension for the shorter scale length.

Yeah, the Cort is at the LP and PRS weird not-quite-strat scale length of 24.75".
I really liked it. I did like the PRS more but the Revstar was a really nice feeling guitar. Looks cool too, once it grows on you.

I think they look fantastic. The two issues I have with them are both related to the upper whale-horn; it both sits uncomfortably on my lower chest when playing sitting, and makes fretting the upper frets awkward (not that I do that a lot yet, but it does).
But they look amazing, yeah.

it’s not true for every model, but PRS has been famous for a “in-between” scale length of 25" (compared to Fender : 25.5" and Gibson : 24.75") ot it’s iconic Custom 22 and Custom 24 guitars. this seems to be a small difference, but it’s really noticeable.

Well the tuners turned out to be ok and really nice. The guitar is completely hand made and uses all solid woods, no laminates.
Sitka spruce top, Ovangkol back and sides, Mahogany neck, Ebony fretboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, herringbone binding, and it sounds killer. Even got a discount and free Martin baseball cap.

Yep the SE’s I was looking at were 25".
I can’t speak to the difference between 24.75 and 25, but the difference between 24.75 and 25.5 is large for sure. Upper frets are really tight.

Thanks @John_E and @howard! I’m really happy with it.
One thing I just noticed is it does not have a strap button on the neck heel, but no big deal, I feel comfortable drilling and installing one.
Oh dear no…not sure what you paid for that baby, but drilling into it is genreally not a good thing.
Many acoustics have a tie on strap at top (that’s the little thingy you have no idea what to do with when you buy a strap that is also meant for acoustics).

Yep this is what the ties that come with straps are for (in case you wondered, like I did)

Actually it’s very common. I paid $660 + tax so not too worried about resale value anyways. But I’m not in a hurry to drill it.

Most strap buttons are installed on the side of the neck closest to the floor.
If you are not using straplocks there could be an issue as the hole in the strap is taking the weight instead of holding it up.
Not sure if I explained that right but if that is a right-handed guitar in the picture @Barney showed, which it appears to be, the button should be on the other side of the neck so the strap is supporting the weight.
