The 1996 AFG is about a half-pound lighter than the 325V63 which I believe is due to the differences of the internal body bracing. Also, the 1996 AFG model has dual truss rods where the V Series model only has one. The 1996 AFG uses a vintage style roller bridge while the V63 has a standard RIC bridge. Other minor differences I noticed were the headstock shape, pickguard shape/placement, TRC shape, and the Fireglo finish shading.
Other than that, they are identical! :)

I received my 1996 in early 2006. It looks closer to #3 in the pic. A bit more orangey-yellow than my RIC 360/12c63 from 2010. Cool guitars!
