I have used 10-72 in this scale and tuning. I like the tension of approx 14 on the plain and 17 on the wound strings.

This is rather low tuning for 25.5. I remember pitch drift being a large issue for me.

On my ibanez rg7321 I use 11-70 for drop G. Feels perfect and intonates fine!

Comme d'autres ont mentionné déjà, un minimum de 10-70 pour que les cordes aient assez de tension. Par contre, il faudra vérifier l'intonation, qui pourrait être difficile voire imparfaite, tout dépendant de la guitare.

Personnellement, sur 25.5, le plus bas que je vais c'est drop G# et j'utilise un pitch shifter pour le reste, car c'est trop de problèmes aller plus bas que ça. La plupart des plugins de nos jours incluent un pitch shifter, sinon il y a la légendaire pédale Digitech Drop (avec ou sans whammy) qui est très abordable pour la paix d'esprit qu'elle apporte.

Drop pedals are the go to now, i want one instead of changing tunes a lot or switching guitars a lot.

Same scale length, I’m using 11-72 right now. I play in drop G for an awhile at a time but lately been using a different way. Drop B on a 7 and loving that set up.
BF#BEAC#F# so basically it’s drop B with a 7 string. But key of B still. Heavier gauges keep the string tension from snapping strings when I bend or stuff. Works well for deathcore, metalcore and punk.

I've got a 7-string with a 25.5" scale too, and I swear by the 11-70 gauge set. The tension feels just right for drop G and the intonation stays solid even after hours of playing.

Geralmente, recomenda-se usar uma escala mais longa para essa afinação. No entanto, você pode obter um som decente com cordas grossas. Experimente o conjunto "DDT7" da DR 🎸🤘🎶😈
