I have a 620/12 with high gains, and I love the sound they produce. So much so, that I now want a 6 string 620 for recording purposes. And possibly as a good rocking rhtym guitar.

I had a 360/6 fireglo about 15 years ago, and although it was a good guitar I always preferred my Gibson ES-335 for a 6 string. But Last summer I got the bug to purchase a 620/12 jetglo and I have to say I have been playing it more than my gibson and I am seriously thinking of selling my 335 and get...

The Songs 'Kicks' and 'Hungry' have always been favorites of mine. Is that a 12 string I hear on the opening of 'Kicks'? if so any idea what kind?
Did the Raiders use Ricks at all? Im used to seeing them with a lot of vox guitars.

Peter Tork of the Monkees led the pack here. He almost always had his buckle to the side on the Tv show.

H guys, Thanks for all the advice and info. I just restrung my 620/12 last night (Monday) and it took a long time (I'm too embarassed to say how long) anyway, I did it the Rickenbacker way. in all the years I played guitar I only heard recently that this was how Rick's were strung. You Learn somethi...

This photo of Mike was taken during the recording of thier third (and my favourite Lp) Heaqaurters. A truly good Lp from Four guy's who have taken quite a beating over the years.

I have actually started recording some things with my 620/12 and am VERY pleased with the results. My guitar arrived with the main strings first (from low E) and octave strings second. What do you all prefer? When I had an acoustic 12 string years ago, the octave strings were first. I'm thinking of ...

Ted,
What do you think of your 620/12? What strings do you prefer? I have been playing mine since I recieved it last friday, and I just love the sound out of it.
