Hey Barry,
The Entertainar is a little bit heavier and brighter sounding. The difference might be the pups since the VE-565 has 53`s in it where the Entertainar has 45`s...
Both are solid instruments and are worthy of gig status !!!
The VE-565 cost me more then I wanted to spend but wanted this model and loved the wood pattern on it. Still need to do some minor repairs on it and drop fillings, need a gold Vantage tuner... But I have the model !
Still happy to find these at an affordable price. The new stuff in stores are crazy high !
