Okay, a 6 string baritone tuing from b to b with about a 27" scale.

 

What would be the proper gauge? It seems as though the increased scale would compensate somewhat for the light tension problems of lighter strings.:confused:

 

BTW I play .009's tuned to standard or down a half step on a 25 1/2 scale

But I might be getting a baritone strat conversion neck and i NEED to know which strings belong on it. I want to play mope rock:(

 

 

If you mean the Warmoth conversion neck, it's a 28 5.8 inch scale length, not 27.

Yep. And I play with either Elixer 68's (with a wound Ernie Ball G string) or a set of Ernie Ball 72's I had to put together from individual strings on my 27.75"; they should work fine on 28 5/8".

 

(The set I made looks like a 72 with a set of 52's or so down to the B string, which should be like a .14, so, approximately, 72, 52, 44, 33, 18, 14).
