Going to set one of my Les Paul guitars up for alternate tuning. I want to play a lot in Eb and C# standard and want something that would work with both. May even go Drop C or B occasionally but the other two tunings are more likely to be used.
What string guage is recommended? I like Ernie Balls so thinking 54-11 beefy slinky would work.
Thinking I'd do setup in standard D so I just have to tune a semi tone up or down when needed.
Does splitting the difference make sense or is it better to pick one or the other tunings for the setup and be a whole step off on 1 and perfect on the other as opposed to half step off on both?
FYI. I run 52-10 on my Standard/Drop D guitar.
