35inch BEAD tuning

[Danger McLovin]

I have been playing with the idea on my 35" of tuning BEAD with strings:
75 - 100 - 115 - 130.
Has anyone done anything like this ? ?​

Yes. I think I used a .120 set of strings. .110 is still a little too light for me.

Stringjoy has a handy tension calculator you can use to get a rough idea on how a particular set of gauges would work for any specific tuning. They specialize in "nickel-plated steel roundwound on a hex core", so there may be variations to the actual figures depending on the brand and type of strings you choose for your purpose.

According to this tool, here's how 75-100-115-135 would work out in tension numbers:

For something a little better balanced with a 135B...

And one step lighter with a 130B...
