It would seem to me that if the neck of the guitar were stable then the actual size of the tenon wouldn't matter. I do agree with what people have said about the finish. If it were on to thick then it effect the sound but if its applied right then poly vs nitro isn't that big of a deal. For the money you couldn't go wrong with either guitar. It all comes down to budget, and if you need an amp.
