Will certain gauge strings warp my guitars neck?

I've had my B.C. Rich NJ Series Beast for about 4 years now, and it's been through alot. The only reason I haven't bought a new one is because nothing I play is as good as the beast: Playability, sound, looks, the whole thing. And since it's been through hell, i don't know if it's slowly being destroyed. I've used so many strings, different tunings, gauges, brands, and after looking for so long, I've found the best, Jim Dunlop 10-52's, tuned to C#, F#, B, E, G#, C#. Is this a bad thing? I'm just paranoid that the strings in that tuning will mess up the guitar.

Will certain gauge strings warp my guitars neck?
Yeah that is another myth I gonna bust for ya. No different gauge string will not warp your neck. As you said it has been thru alot and Ill bet you from just setting it down and propping it against the wall has had more effect on it. True the thicker gauge wire you use the more tension can be built up, but again your string is what is getting the worse for wear. Mos guitars are used for 40 hrs of play before you get a new string too so just as apoint of fact is there is always suppose to be tension.


However if you still don't want to chance it, then everytime your not playing it unstring it and restring and tune when you do want to play it.
Reply:Those strings, tuned that low on a B.C. Rich should put very little strain on your guitar's neck. I've used 11s and 12s on my guitars, tuned 1 1/2 steps higher for years without any problems.
