So (and forgive yet another neophyte question) on a shorter scale length guitar are higher string gauges and/or higher tension more or less of a concern than on a longer scale length model? For what it's worth I'm planning to keep it (exclusively?) in open tunings so I'm guessing that may factor at least a little into the mix. And again, to be clear, when you said earlier that you probably just run the EJ42s on it, and so would that be the .016-56 set?

Thanks again everyone for all of the input and opinions.
