can we put 0.10 on the luke III without having any issues?
meaning :
probably i will have to adjust the neck and the tremolo springs and all but what about the nut?
would i have to widen the nut slots?

Should not have to widen the nut slots unless you notice the strings binding there. It is in all likelihood not going to bind at all. A truss rod tweak is likely needed and the springs will depend on how you like the bridge to sit. Luke sets his up so that the G string will raise 1 1/2 steps. You can set the springs up how you want. I personally do exactly what Luke does.

I use 10s and I may have done a bit of neck tighting up. However I could not make it work with 2 springs due to screw space and overall increase in tension so I rock 3 springs.

 

[look_at_her]

Yes , you can ��.
All you need is minor spring and neck adjustments , as said above .
I use hybrids 9-46 on all my regular tuned guitars without any issues.

I put 10s on mine without any issues. Use 3 springs and adjust your trembvlaw, action and relief as needed to your tastes.

Yeah, definitely gonna need 3 springs if you move up to .010 strings. I have had no issues with nut binding or other wise with my Luke III, which is now set up for .010 strings. I tried to love the .009s, but they were just too flimsy for me.
