Crimson Tal Farlow V "Standard"

One is twice the price than the other and wondering if the price difference makes sense. I don't have any experience playing a Tal Farlow, but looking:

Gibson Tal Farlow 2006 - Viceroy Brown | Reverb

2016 Gibson Tal Farlow “Crimson” Custom | Reverb

or this:

Looks from the pics like the 1st one (5k) is actually a thin body custom??..whereas the other 2 seem like typical T F models...and the last one has pedigree...

I could be totally wrong though as I've never seen or known there was a thin model ?? or is it just the pics that make it look thin ??

Good question. I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.

Yah think the photos are stretched.....look at that neck width

nice guitars though.....$5k seems like the going price without pedigree....

And I think archtop prices are in flux. There's a hangover from a year or two ago when they were moving at top dollar into today's market when there isn't quite as much money moving around. Some sellers are still reaching for the sky, and others want to make a sale.

I bought the very last Tal Farlow ever made in 2018 and I paid $4600 for it brand new w/warranty.
