Hi there,

 

I'm looking at buying a LP Special, but was wondering if someone can explain the difference between these models? The specs look very similar to me, I'm a little confused as to why there's such a jump in price. 

 

Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

One gets a case and one gets a gig bag, one has chrome hardware and one is nickle, one the neck is maple and one is hog. And color.

There you have it. Case, nickle and hog is the more expensive one.

Neck binding, 5 ply pickguard and a more shiny (thicker) finish on the more expensive one... The finish and the binding are what makes it more expensive. Man hours.

I missed the binding.
