10 String tuning options?
I just got a 10 string Superslide. I think I love it. Do any of you guys have suggestions for tunings? I'm used to pedals doing the changing. Thanks G

Is that string order, (G#-F#-E-C#-B-G#-F#-E-D-E), from high to low?
Thanks

Great, this is a good place to start for sure. Thanks Edward.
Do you know what string gauges are most commonly used for this tuning?
Years ago I had an old Gibson 6 string and it sure seemed like the bigger, the better or it was treble without a cause.

My 10-str. E9/13 Tuning:
I tune my 10-str. E9/13 Tuning like this:
1 = G# .012p
2 = E .015p
3 = C# .018p
4 = B .020p
5 = G# .022w
6 = F# .026w
7 = E .030w
8 = D .034w
9 = B .038w
10 = E .056w
I also use an extended-version of Jerry Byrd's 8-str. C6/A7:
1 = D .017p
2 = B .020p
3 = E .015p
4 = C .018p
5 = A .022p
6 = G .024w
7 = E .030w
8 = C# .036w
9 = C .038w
10 = Lo-A .070w
And I use an extended-version of Jerry Byrd's 7-str. C-Diatonic:
1 = F .014p
2 = D .017p
3 = E .015p
4 = C .018p
5 = B .020p
6 = A .022p
7 = G .024w
8 = F .028w
9 = E .030w
10 = C .036w
1 = G# .012p
2 = E .015p
3 = C# .018p
4 = B .020p
5 = G# .022w
6 = F# .026w

Sorry. I don't. But on John Ely's website is a string guage chart that many have found useful (including me).
