The genius of the Drop 6 AES520? You don't have to relearn guitar to get a thick, chunky, de-tuned sound. B-to-B tuning delivers the heavier sonics you crave, while a longer 26-1/4" scale and slightly heavier string gauge keeps the sustain and string tension at normal levels. Plus, you can transfer all your hard-earned standard-tuning chops directly without relearning the guitar. Its smooth and sculpted mahogany body and neck are easy to play, and dual humbuckers give you a wide tonal range.
