No, that's okay, those were perfect. Thanks!

What can I expect to see? Will there be anything to look out for it I try to replace the pickguard? That is, will it be a simple matter to do this?

Thanks.

"Weird button" - On the 620. What does it do again? Master volume or some ****.

What size of tiny screwdrivers will I need to take the knobs off? I see that I'll need two, for the tone/volume, and that weird "other" button.

Thanks

I see some online sites selling the gold pickguard for the 660, but can't find the faceplate, if that's what you call it. I'm talking about the part with "Rickenbacker" that goes on the headstock. Anyone know where I can find all three at the same place, or just the faceplate?

Thanks.

Sounds great.

Thanks! I got it today.

Here's a photo I said I'd post. I replaced the standard R tailpiece with the trapeze.

I have a 2011 620/6 and want to replace the "R" tailpiece with a trapeze tailpiece. Will this one fit: http://www.pickofthericks.com/rickenbac ... ece-01121/ ?

620s are my favorite RICs, A 2011 will have full length inlays.

Post some pics if you can. I never get tired of looking at them....

I will post pics when I get a chance.

Please explain the comment about full length inlays.

Whoa. Just got a call. The Rick is home!

Hey all. I'm thrilled to be a new member here. Also, my first Rick is being delivered today, so that's kinda cool too... It's a used 620/6 from 2011, and I can see from tracking that it is no more than 10 miles from my home. Looking forward to many interesting discussions, so here's to Ricks!
