Re: 12-56 Strings in Standard E tuning?
i used to run a 12-52 set in my V for some years, mind you my V it's actually 25 1/2 scale, and played that E standar, the hardest part was consistenly getting a 12-52 set whenever the previous one was done, if you want to move across very different tunings get a second guitar, going back and forth with tunings so far apart with the same set won't be so good for the guitar in the long run. A good thing you get from 12s is that when you move to something with lighter strings your bends will be massive.
Nowadays i run a 10-46 set in D but that's mainly cuz they are more readily avaible at the local store.
