I played my Fender Jaguar Modern Player last night. It's basically a strip down Jaguar without all the switching.

I never really gelled with that guitar and Rich suggested a few years ago putting thicker gauge strings on it with being short scale length guitar.

So I restrung with first 12s but that was too much, I struggled to bend notes, so finally I settled on 11s.

Now I've finally have gelled with it and play it a lot more.

Won't that have an effect on the neck?,I'm not an expert but I have a couple of fender Telecasters and they're set up for 9's(though I string them with 10's).I don't play lead so I prefer something a bit meatier to hit...

I did read some years ago that the jump in tension(and it's a huge jump) to 11's or 12's can warp/bow the neck?Like I say,I'm no expert but you may damage/warp the neck long term and it may result in you having to resort to getting the guitar set-up professionally?

I will forever be grateful for knowing Rich. I have struggled with not being able to see him, particularly since moving back to Hull in the last year. To help cope with the grief, I learned this and play it nearly every day. I am not a musician as you can tell, but this has helped in some way. I hope by sharing it can inspire people in other ways to cope with losing someone. I would say do something in their memory and be thankful that you knew them and were able to share good times.
