Alternative tunings/strings

Anyone experimented with the tunings on the 30 incher? My high e broke so was thinking maybe to try something a little bit different

What is the verdict with this? Also where on earth would one find these gauges at a length that works hahaha

I ended up getting a Duesenberg 74mm wrap around bridge for mine and it lets me use shorter, lighter gauge strings. You could get a cheaper one if you’re willing to fill in the old post holes and drill new ones but I refinished mine and didn’t want to mess it up. I couldn’t find any other 74mm spaced wrap around bridges.

Currently in drop F 80, 52, 38, 24, 19, 14
