Hi
No offense but it is not the same guitar. The one from musician friend is the real deal. The other one is a re-issue and different.
The headstock is not the same. The one from Musician does not have the string holder holding the 1st and 2nd string.
tHe vibrato angle is not the same. The correct angle is like the Musician friend model . Their are other differences but these two caught my eye.
So the difference in price is justified for the Musician model and their price is correct. I set up Gibson, Fenders for 30 yers and we own originals at the repair shop so it is easy for me to see the diffenrence.
Your choice. You pay what you get for.
