Thye both have humbuckers – one has a pickup cover so it looks like it only has coil. They both have full humbuckers.

The first one has a case, the second one has a gig bag, which cuts down the price a bit.

The first guitar has a slightly hotter pickup in the bridge. To me it doesn’t matter much, because usually I switch pickups out anyways, but if you’re spending this much on a guitar I’d try to get a guitar that matches what you want. They both have alnico pickups, so I would expect them both to have a slightly vintage, warm feel instead of a brashy, incredibly hot output.

The first one has a nicer inlay. The second has a different plating finish. These shouldn’t make an impact on the tone. There are no other obvious differences between the two. I suspect that different qualities of wood may be used in each of these models.

I don’t think you’d notice a huge difference between them – they’re pretty comparable in terms of what I can see as far as tone goes. You can always get better pickups if you absolutely need them later – I don’t know if i’d pay that much more for a guitar that basically just looks a little nicer.

PS I may have gotten the “first” and the “second” mixed up. Whatever. All pickups listed are alnico, check the stats on them.
