Glad you mentioned that AT.
The body shapes are very similar,horns are longer and slimmer on the HB. The HB is about 3/4 inch taller
and the neck/body is less severe ie it's longer,wider and shallower. The V1004 is more a step down to the
neck than a gradual slope.
It's the necks that have me thinking,well the headstocks. The HB angles up and the Vintage down with the HB
having a slope. Here's the two side by side but its the peaks behind the nut. It thickens the neck at it's weak
point.It makes me think there's a connection,differences sure but could be cut from the same cloth so to speak.
I'll get some time tomorrow to compare them.I updated Amplitube recently and my presets are all to hell, so
no playing tonight,I'm ground floor flat.
