The only difference I see is the older cheaper one has the G&L Humbuckers and the newer one has "Cort Humbuckers" as the listed pickups. The new one has a Nato body and the old one also has a mahogany body.
Have they raised the price and cheapened the electronics?
.Note About G&L Tribute Series Guitar Pickups
-The Tribute Series instruments (including Limited Editions/Exclusive Models) that use MFD pickups are the same USA pickups made in Fullerton, CA.
-The single coil Alnico pickups (CLF-100) used in the Tribute Series Legacy are also the same pickups used in the USA Legacy and are made at the Fullerton factory.
-Other single coil Alnico pickups, humbuckers and P-90's used in the Tribute Series instruments are made to G&L's specifications at the Cort facility in Indonesia.
Note: Most of the Tribute Series MF/GC Exclusive Models have pickups which are made to G&L specifications at the Cort facility in Indonesia, see: 2015-present MF/GC Exclusive Tribute Models.

The Cort Strat single-coils are descended from the bright and spanky single-coils of the ’50s and channeling that classic chime that Fender enthusiasts love so much
A tone that's straight out of the ’50s
