String gauge for E flat metal in a Gibson-scale guitar

[dave74]

FWIW, I joined a band that plays in Eb, and I was using D'Ad 10.5-48, and it's slightly loose for me, which I didn't expect.

Gonna up the gauge to Ernie Ball 11-54 because we're doing a couple of songs in Drop Db. I hope it's not too much. I wish there was an 10.5-52 set somewhere.

Mondo is 10.5-52,,,,,,and Burly is 11-52.

I use 10-46 or 48. Whatever comes standard in D'addario/NYXL/GHS-Boomers 10 sets.
