I'm working on a Fender Triple 8 that my friend was given by his father.

Can anyone recommend how to set it up with:
E13
E6
C6
I need the note each string is tuned to in order from 1st to 8th (smallest to largest).
Thanks,

If you haven't done a search on T8 tunings, you might consider that. I'm sure you'll find more than several threads with a lot of information.
