theblast Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Can anyone tell me why there is a $350 difference between the EF500RA & the EF500R? http://www.sweetwater.com/psearch--EF500R Cheers, john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stmasterbilt Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 i believe it is in the abalone inlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteWilson Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The abalone is the only difference that I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukinator Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Unless my eyes are deceiving me, it looks like the wood is different, there's more inlay work on the RA and the RA also has the gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Unless my eyes are deceiving me' date=' it looks like the wood is different, there's more inlay work on the RA and the RA also has the gold hardware.[/quote'] Both have the same wood and hardware. It's the abalone inlay, as the others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblast Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks everyone, do people REALLY pay the extra for looks?? I guess they do. I'm guilty of it too now thinking about it. Thanks guys, -john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteWilson Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have the EF-500R, and would not take anything for it! Lovely guitar, easy to play and sounds wonderful. Lives on my Living Room wall, next to the antique German Wallclock, so it is easy to take down and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Pete, I also own an EF-500RVS and I agree with you. I think it's the only instrument I have owned so far that I'm sure I will never "let go". I see / hear its limits but the tone is so sweet and warm, the playability so easy that it's inbeatable. After playing it for 2 years I'm so glad I found it!

PeteWilson Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Giovanni: I agree completely. I own several guitars (she who must be obeyed says too many!) There are only three that I own which I have no intention of selling - ever! Two are Epiphones - the EF-500R and a 1994 Blues Master. One is an off-brand - Taylor is on the headstock, I think!
