I have seen both of theses models for sale. Does anyone know the difference? They both seem to be mid-depth bowls and in newer models both are cut away.

The current 6751 will have an Op30, I guess the 1751 or an older 6751 would have an Op24+ Standingovation Posted 2003-05-28 11:46 AM (#208564 - in reply to #208562) Subject: Re: 6751 and 1751, whats the difference?

Is it also possible 1751 has a 5 piece neck and 6751 has a 2 piece? As Paul states, the electronics will change over time and are not reflected in the model number.
