    Drop G on a 27" guitar

    Hey I was wondering if 10-46+68, would be tight enough in drop G/G#. Would the 27" scale be able to keep the strings tight enough? My strings go through the back. Would that set be considered balanced? I am going to get this guitar set up in a shop and I don't want to waste my money.
