Hi Oliver!

OK>  I guess the bridge will break, right?

No... the brigde is probably no problem, but one day, the guitar will look like 
a U because the string will bend the neck forward a lot. I have done that to my 
first accoustic... I didn't know about all that and I have put really strong 
steel/bronce strings on it, the neck was bended so much, that the guitar was 
hard to play due to the high action (distance between frets and strings) and it 
only produce some pretty detuned tones.

Take care
