Hello Sam,

The difference between the two is the use of a Bigby vibrato tailpiece on the V, while the IV has a standard Guild harp tailpiece.
Depending on the period there are some other small differences but they are basically the same guitar.

Sincerely,

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the info, so I guess I'm out to find a SF V, I'd rather have a bigsby.

Thanks,
Sam
