I noticed the updated Custom Quote Generator lists two types of body styles: Europa and Europa II. What is the difference between the two? | ||

From a while back, I believe the answer is that the Europa II is slightly larger. What I don't recall is if that refers body width or thickness. I want to say thickness in order to accommodate Series electronics. | ||

According to Mica, "It is a slightly enlarged version of the Europa body shape to allow for more electronics than space allows in the standard shape. The Burl Beauty Featured Custom has the Europa II shape. It's not dramatic, but since it is different from the Europa template, it's an important distinction." | ||

Now I am confused. The Europa II looks like an Elan. | ||

Nah, the Horns on the Elan are "fatter": Elan:  Europa II:  And there's a difference in the headstock shape, the Elan has a kind of MM Stingray edge. | ||

The Europa seems to have a skinnier waist/fatter butt when compared to the Elan too. | ||
