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).

This string set/gauges represents the tension of a standard Super Light set of .042"W to .009".
These strings are available through your local music store.
Plug it in and check it out. Play some of your favorite riffs.
And see for yourself.
