how different are the bodies on model series guitars from 86 compaqred with other years? i ask because having an 86 and an 88 there is a noticeable difference in weight, and the 88 feels a slightly thinner and more contoured, with a brighter sound...am i imagining things? were the woods used changed at all?

Re: model series bodies
What specific models do you have? The bolt-ons were all full size strat shapes with the exception of the 3DR. All bolt-ons were basswood, but an '86 with a Kahler will probably be heavier than a later model with a JT-6 because much less wood is routed out for the Kahler. The brighter sound could also be more due to the different trem as well. -

the heavier one is 1 1986 model 4 , the lighter 1 an 88 model 2Comment

Re: model series bodies
They are both the same wood. Probably the Kahler as stated above.My goal in life is to be the kind of asshole my wife thinks I am.Comment

Re: model series bodies
Part of the difference could also just be the density of the wood. I'm sure it can vary a fair amount from guitar to guitar based on the age of the tree, geographic location, etc.Comment
