Now that the Vela has birds and USA pickups, I thought I'd compare the price of it to the NF53, and I'm quite surprised that the NF53 is priced $800 more than the Vela. And if you opt for the satin Vela, the price difference is $1150... a difference of 65%!
What exactly do you get for that extra money?
They're made in the same facility. They have the same bridge, similar tuners, and USA pickups. The Vela, being set neck, has arguably a slightly more complicated manufacturing workflow. I don't get it.
