[kj] burst harp

[Christof hamille]

Well...the 295 is bigger (thicker) than the 175.  The 175 is (typically) 
somewhere between a 295 and 335 (for example), but lately are almost 
identical to a 335 (as far as specs, fretboard, etc.) And I know someone 
with a 175 from the 70s (I think) and it came with a stock wrap tail-piece.  
He also has a mid 90s with a stop tail piece.  Those wrap tail pieces are 
not always a true give away to the guitar only because Gibson used those on 
just about anything until the stop-tailpiece became more prominent (cheaper 
to make and better reliability).  And the Gibson anniversary reissues are 
pretty damn good as far as specs.  But at very least the neck joint looks 
more correct.  There was a picture floating around at the KJ anniversary 
show with Geordie and his harp and you can seem what I mean as far as the 
thickness, etc.
