I'm not sure you'd need to file the nut to fit 11's on a Fender.

Would't they then be on 10 when on 0 and vice versa though?

You need a backwards-printed knob to complete the facade. I remember when PRS came out with their first lefty guitars they made a big deal about the backwards knob (reverse bonar lols).

Yeah, is true. Most people just stick their usual knobs on which make no sense the other way round.
Mustang knobs come into their own here

11's will fit but if u touch the trem it will throw itself out of tune from the nut binding, it's binding up now with 10's, it was cut for 9's
