I believe the headstock logo is different. The one in the clear pic is a plain "S", but the one in the fuzzy pic is a more ornate design.

Also, the brand of included strings is different, and I don't see a strap or a cleaning pad for the fuzzy pic.

Definately not the same instrument...

The one with the green case interior is older than the one with the blue case interior.

Seems like a good deal for $150 anyway. Pressed tops don't usually have the crease on the scroll, do they?

Hah! They are both in PA but at opposite sides of the state FWIW.

Guess I was wrong!..... :redface:
