B standard tuning string gauge

56 is the standard gauge for a 7th string on a guitar which is a B, but it's not really all that tight. Will be slighter looser again assuming your LP is a 24.75" scale. If you want B and you want to drop to A as well I would suggest at least a mid 60 (64/66 or so) - give take depending on how much tension you like.
