I'm just about done with a short-scale solidbody electric to four string tenor conversion. The scale length is 21.5" (533mm), and I'm going to try CGDA tuning instead of OM tuning. I'm looking at the McDonald string calculator, but I'm not really sure what tensions to shoot for - more than the tensions being important, the intonation has to work with the existing Tun-o-Matic position. Anyone have experience and/or a rule of thumb? Thanks in advance.
