What is the difference between the Tarantula and the Tarantula S?

No expert here, but I'd hazard a guess that the S is the synthetic version-some of the Walnut stocks are stunning.

Hate to get off topic kinda. But how do you know difference in Grade 5 walnut or other walnut?

@johnl57 Definitely not synthetic!. My first thought is that it refers to the stock. "S" meaning select. However I can't find any corroboration for that.

Just sold one for a friend a few weeks ago .... Gorgeous WALNUT and Checkered too !!

@Johnl57 owe you an apology!! as soon as I extricate my foot from my mouth!! Yes indeed, according to FX "S" is for synthetic. I have never seen a synthetic stock on the Tarantula and even the few "S" models that I have seen had walnut stocks. Those ones must have been upgrades at some point in their lives. Live and learn!
