I move up to 10s?
What about 11s?(I wouldn't right now...but down the line maybe).
Just wondering. I don't want to get the neck screwed up, so I'll ask before the time comes. Also, I have a Squier '51 if that helps any.
Thanks.

You won't screw up the neck, as in permanently damage it. You will cause the action to rise and the neck relief to increase if you don't adjust it. I'm primarily a slide player, and I've made several very nice slide guitars by starting with a stock low-actioned guitar with 9s, putting 12s on and not adjusting anything.

10's should be no problem, for eleven's maybe you'd want to adjust things a bit.
