Hardware aside (nickel vs. chrome), what would be the differences, if any, between these two?

How do the current Birds measure up to a Historic Bird?

Thanks

The shape of the left wing shoulder is different. A Historic will have a vibrola while a USA with a stop tailpiece. And maybe things like the following...

Premium wood vs. standard wood
Alnico pups vs. ceramic?
