Hi all and thanks for this great community.

Currently on my 3rd CBG build which is a normal scale. 

I built this little guy as my 2nd and having trouble on what would be a good string gauge / tuning for this length.

I broke a few strings before putting on these top 4 d'addario E16's and tuned to gdgb. Both G's are the same octave due to thickness of string. So this does not really work.

Don't really care if it is that tuning or a mando or banjo tuning. 

So any suggestions on string gauge
and tuning for this would be greatly appreciated, 

It's about a 14.5 scale.

Thanks!

Josh
