Hi, I think one of the graetest things of both models are the set neck. If you want a better Bridge, chose the 600. In my opinion, the 600 Model Sounds a littler fatter, because of iis non Floating bridge construktion. Both are great guitars in their owen right. The 600 is just a Little better and m...

hi, i wanted to update the registration record of two of my guitars that have already been registrated in the register .One has already been registred by myself about 6 years ago but without photos.
