Hi,

Is there much quality difference (sound and build) between the original series and the vintage series?
The price difference is significant so I'm assuming yes?

Thanks.

The electronics and pickups are the same so the sound should be similar.

One thing to note, in case it plays a role: the AVRI52 has a 7.25" neck, the AmOriginal flattened it to 9.5".
On build quality, I would expect these to be quite similar.
