It won't "wreck" your neck. But it may require an adjustment after the new string tension settles. Stevie Ray Vaughn used strings that started with .013. The nut slots are also cut for 9-42, so you'd also likely need to widen those a bit. If you're not experienced with slot cutting...leave that to a pro. It you get the slot too wide or too deep, the nut is ruined and a new one will need to be installed.

I have LP copy with 10-52 gauge, but I am considering buying a Fender Tele for the love of its neck.
Thanks for your thoghts.
