Re: Tried GDAE tuning on my Ibanez PFT2 doesn't sound that good.
I agree that this guitar may perform better in CGDA no matter what you try - that is what I've found with my own small-body tenor.
But before giving up on GDAE, my thought would be to first try even heavier strings, and see what difference it makes.
You are still using the equivalent of a regular light-gauge E string (12) and an extra-light D string (30), although your tenor scale is much shorter. I would try the equivalents of mediums, or even a little heavier, for eg. 44,35,23-25,14.
