I suck at guitar, but I'm working really hard and sucking less every day.

That explains it. They also have different humbuckers on each. The premier has D'angelico made humbuckers and the deluxe has new Seymore Duncan 59s. The deluxe has higher fretwire also.
Jon S. wrote:Is this the same guitar as the matte black finish model just with a red white and blue bolt finish?Hey Jon... there are a lot of differences between the lightning bolt and the Bob Weir model. The lightning bolt is pretty basic. The Bob Weir has a Bigsby tremolo system, built-in coil splitting controlled by push-pulling the tone knob for each pickup, a master volume above the playing hand area, not sure if the pickups are the same... probably some other minor stuff.

If enhanced clarity is your tonal goal, you should like these. Consider also 500K pots. In fact, if you have a helpful tech, he might be able to ID for you a range of values from 300-500K for you to experiment with to determine your fave.
Does anyone have experience with the Seymour Duncans they use...
