The more drastic difference is noticeable on the treble side; the horn is much pointier on the '80s & Tribute models as well. Noticed it when looking at the F100 with EMGs above; I almost wondered if it was actually an F100 at first based on the fat horns, till I realized they're all like that; I think the binding and crisp edges bring out the difference even more.
I can't un-see it; but I don't hate the style of the modern versions either
Still, pleased they rectified the shape with the new Skyhawk.
