How to tune a Danelectro Baritone Guitar

[kimbob]

A few years ago I bought a Danelectro Baritone Guitar. I rarely ever played it but now I have a renewed interest in it for recording. You can get some super lows out of this thing, but I don't know what the tuning is on it. You can't tune it a full octive lower because the strings are too loose (I have very heavy strings on it). What note do I tune the low E to for example. Any input or ideas on how to tune or use this thing will be greatly appreciated. It has a killer tone for low crunches.
Thanks KIMBOB

is what a reviwer says

and it gives the tuning (they used)

No real idea otherwise.



Good luck.
