The “Drop 6” Concept

The Yamaha Drop 6 Concept is based on the very popular down tuning trend, which is so important for the heavy sounds of music today.

You don’t have to re-learn how to play guitar on a wider neck with an extra string in order to tune down to B.

The Drop 6 allows you to play your riffs the way you learned them without changing your right hand attack and left hand finger positions.

The longer scale (26-1/4” = 666.8mm) and the heavier string gauges are the key to the Drop 6 Concept.

The Drop 6 is tuned in the same intervals as a stock guitar. However, the strings are tuned down a fourth lower (B to B rather than E to E).
