Custom 68ri vos vs custom 57 vos

[deth]

Hi...

May i know whats the difference between Custom 68RI VOS and Custom 57 VOS?

For sure,Maple Top for 68,Solid Mahogany for 57.
What else??

Both of them have long tenon joint,one piece mahogany neck.Hmmm..just wondering why the price gap is too far.Any info guys?

Cosmetically they have different knobs,machine heads but mainly it's the maple cap on the 68 vs. the hog on the 57.
I don't think there's really that much difference between them neck-wise,according to those who have and have tried both,but my 57 is perfect.

Price gap? Shop around. I don't know of a price gap...

'57 - all mahogany, Burstbuckers, historic pots/caps, gold hardware.
'68 - maple top, '57 Classics, Gibson USA pots/caps, nickel hardware.

Edit: forgot to mention: '57 - Klusons, '68 - Grovers. The '68s are not VOS; they are Custom Authentic.

...and yes, I am the man.
