To have strings that are thicker on the top, and thinner on the bottom, so the gauge would go from the ball 9 to the tip which could be maybe an eleven.

Though setting the truss rod and intonation would be mindf*ck, how possible is it if EB made these strings?

Then this'll destroy your mind.

Say EB made strings that for example, changes guage from the bottom to the top, not of the strings, but of the guitar.

Say for 1st string:

1-5th frets had guage 12, 6-7 frets change from guage 12-11, then so on till the 24th would maybe be a 9.

Like a long, tapered string? Don't think you'd be able to get the right tension ..... ever.
And the strings wouldn't be in tune ...... no matter what note you played.

To answer your question, Mr. open parenthesis space o space close parenthesis equal sign equal sign equal sign pound (if that is your real name!) it is 0% possible

Yeah, just out of curiosity, what is your display name? I think one of the Mods should just change it to "Jimmy" or something. ;)
