YOU HAVE A HANNES BRIDGE!!!

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ITS LIKE FOR LOW TUNINGS! I must know!

EDIT: What is it currently tuned to? I might get Wez to put one into a custom I have in mind.

I can only tell you what the guitar is like for low tunings.

Peerlessly glorious. I've never heard drop A# sound so tight and so clear, and never imagined that it could be.

The bridge cant not be part of that. How much difference it makes I cant possibly say, because I never played an aurora with a more normal bridge, but its in there and the whole thing slays when detuned.

The pickup mounts are also a bit different on this guitar. The four metal slugs you can see in the back are the pickup mounts. They are internally tapped and the pickups are screwed to them with 3mm machine screws instead of wood screws.

Which, (as I've said to bob earlier) rocks. I didnt really have an opinion on it till I changed pickup height - its nearly frictionless and the height adjustment is extremely accurate. It also holds the pickups parallel to the strings all the time (the move if you push them but they always settle to level instantly at all heights).

Looks really good!
You said about the drop A# sounding good, which is the scale of the guitar? 25.5"?

Yes, 25.5. I considered going baritone, but trying it out beforehand was proving troublesome, so we went with everything else we could think of to keep the low end tight as $%&# and everything clear in baritone level tuning.

Looks amazing, but those vast pictures are playing havoc with my computer's puny memory.  :)
