Hi there. Still wrapping my brain around string gauges. Does this look about right for A6 on a Clinesmith long scale frypan? What about on a Rick B6? Thanks! Pete

Much too heavy for the standard 6 string A6. The gages you have listed would be fine for Open D or Open E.

Here’s a reference for A6;

Scotty's A6th 6-String (semi-flat wound) by S.I.T

"West Coast players were among the first to make this tuning popular with large Western Swing era bands. The most famous player was Steel Guitar Hall of Fame member Herb Remington." - Scotty
