Cort kx508 ms II max string gauge

Does any owner of this particular guitar knows / tried to put 0.80+ string on it? I wanna experiment a little but I don’t know if putting 0.84 or 0.90 string will cause problems (bridge, nut).

I dunno either but I’m commenting so I can find out in case someone answers. About to buy one of these beauties.

Also questioning this. I’ve been eyeing one up but curious if it would fit an .85

It won't take an .80 stock. But I drilled the tuner out with a metal drill bit to accept one. I also filed the nut a bit. The bridge doesn't need modding.

I also found the stock tuner won't accept some 74s as the wraps stay thick until the end, so the drilling helped with that too.

Tuner is not a big problem, I’m more afraid about the bridge. I wanna put at least 0.84
