How do you determine the gauges? I would think you need different gauges depending on how you tune the guitar. And--if you are tuned to open G, does that mean you can only play certain songs? I dont understand this guitar and open tuning. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.

There are string sets for different tunings. But if you are talking G and D and C6, I use16 to 56 on both my acoustic and electric. My electric is 23 1/4 scale and my National square neck is 25 inch! I use standard Open G not high G.
