Thinking of reviving one of my guitars that I don't play much to be my detuned guitar (I've settled on Eb in recent years & aside from occasional forays into Eb/dropC#, don't detune my guitars any further).
It's a 24¾" scale guitar with fixed bridge that I'd quite like to have tuned to C (or maybe B?).
Looking around for some suitably beefy strings to accomodate this, I saw the GHS Zakk Wylde boomers were closest but perhaps a little insane on the low string. So I've been thinking about getting two different gauges & making a hybrid set:
The top 3 from a D'Addario 11-49 set
The bottom 3 from a D'Addario 13-62 Baritone set
To give me 11/14/18/36/46/62
How well do you think this would work?

Equally you could get a Zakk wylde 60 set since they come with a 70 or a 60 depending on the pack you buy.
