Hello Zen,

This has been asked here before, check this out https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=40076

It wasn't concluded but it may give you some starting points

.13 to .62 is 'standard' B to B on a baritone guitar.
You can go a little lighter if you like ... 12 - 60 works fine.

*If you're using a standard electric guitar, you will have some intonation problems. Tuning all your strings that low, you really need a longer scale instrument.

Ken is right per usual It might be time to trade in a guitar and get a Baritone scale instrument or switch to a 7 string instrument.

Thanks gents. I'll experiment and see where I land.
