Misc guitar experts help me out

I have a baritone that I usually play in Drop A# and Drop C. I wanna tune it up to Drop C# without going to lighter strings but I dont know if it would be too much tension on the neck. My strings are 13-60 btw. Would it be ok?

Oh and also before someone says just get a standard guitar, I have one but it's old and sounds like sh*t and I cant afford a new one so I wanna use my baritone.

Go back to easy or normal difficulty and just use 4 buttons instead of 5.

Wait wut?

One thing for sure is, i am trying my best to quit. firstly, being a christian, i knew it was wrong but still continued to do it for years. secondly, i now have better ways of getting girls into my life. you see, i recently found the courage to sign up for dance lessons. i had one lesson on wednesday, and i have been a changed man ever since.

I was totally freaked out at the start of the lesson. didnt even dare ask a girl to dance. but by the end, it seemed like second nature. now i can probably ask a girl to dance without getting too insane. as for why i am looking forward to wednesday it's the 2nd dance lesson.

Too much pressure will rip the bridge off before it damages the neck. Trial and error is the only way. Good luck.

Because of the way it's strung I dont think it would rip the bridge off, thankfully. Neck tension is all I'm worried about and I'd hope the strings would snap before it damaged it, but the low E is like a metal pipe so I dunno.

EDIT: Oh damn I guess I could just get a capo and put it on the 1st fret in Drop C to get to Drop C# right?
