What string gauge for Drop Ab on a 6 string:
I usually use 11-54 for Drop Bb, and I wanna tune down on my Ibanez Six string, (it's not a baritone) Is it okay to use something like 13-65 on a non-bari six? Or should i just go with the 12-60 i found

uh, get a bass? http://www.daddario.com/DAstringtensionguide.Page to be able to keep tension on the neck you'd need something like a 16 gauge for the highest string and a 60 gauge for the lowest. check that string gauge chart, you'd probably need a custom set. if you don't care about matching tension, the a 12-60 should work.

Stopped reading your post there. TS, just get a somewhat thicker set than what you currently have for Bb. It's only a whole step down. You might have to take it to get set up, though.

I was a actually gonna suggest something close. .58 instead though but 56 works too. I am using a 24.75" scale with 56 on my low and I have no issues with Drop A so I figured a 58 would be about perfect for Ab

I have a 25" scale im sure, and i just got 12-56 for drop A# today. They work perfectly really, any thicker and id have to drill a bigger hole in the tuner for the low A# string.

i used to use the dr set with the 65 for a flat. my guitar is a gibson scale and i like tight strings but i think you need at least a 60.
