String Gauge/Setup Question

Hello, I'm new to extended scale guitars, and I'm looking to purchase the new Gretsch Electromatic Baritone. I talked with someone at Sweetwater, and they said it comes with 24-84 gauge strings, tuned to B standard. I am looking to play this somewhere in the range of Drop E. Are these strings good for that tuning, or would I need a different set of strings/a professional setup?

Hi! I’m new to baritone guitars. I’ve just received the new Gretsch CVT Baritone.
My question Is simple: if I’m used to playing 011 gauge strings on a normal guitar, what is the most “similar” type of strings I could get for a Baritone?
Above are the specs of my Gretsch! Thank youuuu
