A beautiful pair with a unique connection –

I just kinda noticed this, maybe we can make this a game?

Meet F-174, and F-175, from Mar ‘91 –

so –  anyone seen 173, or 176?

Lovely.

Was that a design change in the headstock between those two numbers?

No idea – there is a ½” difference in width, and I have no idea why – the nut width is the same.  175 (no cutaway) is a Swan spec’d guitar, so maybe its something he wanted? Its kinda odd, having the traditional diamond markers – maybe its more like a dread headstock?  174 has the ebony headstock, which feels more like a standard F cutaway detail.  Maybe I’ll have to see if the shop has any other info on differences with these –

I wonder if they were standardizing headstock templates then?

175 is the maple one, right?

[tadol]

They’re both maple!

these aren’t the ones you saw at the warehouse – neither have a pickup, so they stay at home –

[Matt Hayden]

I’d like to meet them sometime if that’s ok…
