Yamaha RGX Ty Tabor Guitars

There is the standard model 2000 to 2005 and the drop 6 introduced in 2002. The drop 6 has the same specifications as the standard model except that it is a 26.25cm scale and heavier gauge 11-64 strings allowing it to be tuned down to as low as drop B, and for some reason it isn't available in Red. Both are made in Taiwan.
