If you know what the tension is at 34" 
rolleyes: probably 23.575 lbs) take that number ÷ scale2 × new scale2
In this case 23.575 ÷ 1156 (342) × 729 (272) = 14.86693339

You'll want a .086 and .061 to go under a standard set depending on tension preference.
There are guitar strings this gauge . . . . .

If the hole the string threads through is .15" or smaller a guitar string will hold - barely, but it will hold.
ok... When I said ports I was thinking of a shipping port. I don't know why. Am not sure what am working with yet. I'll inform you all when I have it ready. how ever I'll give you a Idea of what am working with this may help as well. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
The photo should be on the right.
"Port" means "string ferrule". Just cut the ball end off a bass string and stick your guitar string through it. Then through the ferrule... port.
Glad you found it useful
I was afraid it might be over your head. 
"lol"
