String gauges for my new 7-string?

[rudeez]

Im buying this guitar in a few days:

Agile Interceptor Pro 727 EB Tribal Red Quilt (Deposit for May 2010) at RondoMusic.com

Im tuning it to:

G
C
F
Bb
Eb
Ab
C

I also want to have a wounded string for the Eb string.

What gauges do you recomend?

Wait, did you list that high->low or low->high?

 

[rudeez]

Low to high G as fat string.

Here's what I would use for that
80 60 42 30 22w 14 11

But what string gauges do you currently use, and on what scale guitar?
Cuz I could whip up a set that has much more similar tension to your usual one.

 

[rudeez]

Currently playing on a Schecter omen 7 25.5".
Using 68 for G string and then 56 - 12.

^Do you like the 68 for G or would you like some more tension?

I had a similar question to the OP, Im thinking of getting another Jackson SLAT 7 and tuning it a whole step down to A. I was wondering, would 10's or 11's be the best for that tuning? I currently have my SLAT tune to standard and using Ernie Ball 9's and I like 9's for standard. Would 11's be too thick or would 10's be too floppy?

I do like 68, could go with a 70 aswell for some extra tightness but a 68 might hold up since the new one is a 27" instead of 25.5" scale.

To the OP: 68/70/75 52 42 30 22 15 11.5

Can you get a 10.5 set?
I DO literally mean "ten and a half."

With maybe a 58, 60 or 62 on the bottom.
