Stewmac has a really inexpensive 6 string mini Telecaster electric guitar kit which is cute as all getout;

Tuned normally, it plays an octave higher than a standard 6 string Tele. I have no need for an electric guitar but I was wondering if there would be any way to string and tune this as a 6 string tenor. I'd want GDAE or some other fifths tuning on the middle four strings, with an extra lower and higher fifth tuned strings. I play mostly Irish trad but I couldn't take this to a session, obviously, but for $99 it could be a really fun quiet practice guitar.
Oh, important detail...it has a REALLY short scale length; 16.3". I don't know how to figure stringing and tuning for different scale lengths. Any advice appreciated.
