E6, yeah, can't answer your other questiona as I don't know which end is the bass-side (E or B)

please, nobody start the dread "right way" argument.

Try using a string gauge calculator like:

Aim for about 32lbs to start

Ed, that's an E6th tuning, also known as C#m7th.
These gauges should work for you:



B - .018


G#- .020


E - .030


C#- .034


B - .038


G#- .046


E - .054

b0b has all those gauges of Jagwire strings for sale here.

It seems to be missing a high E.

. . . ain't got no more strings; no room for another E .

Looks like you could put a C# on top,.016,or put a F#,and have a nice chromatic.012,or.013.
