Lakland shoreline 55-94 vs USA 55-94

Hello!

Have someone played this 2 bass?

I want to know what's different between the shoreline and USA made.

Or they are just the same.

The Shoreline series are made by ESP and only for Japanese internal market. It is 100% Japanese, therefore, supposedly a high quality. The main difference is the flat-sawn neck opposed the US quarter sawn necks (both have carbon-fiber rods along the truss rod). ESP also uses truss-rod wheels that you cannot see on USA models. Hardware and electronics are the same.
