Ahhhh Pete wouldn't like it unless it was in splinters

It's like a violin, smashes real good . . .
I won't let him within 3 mile of my 1997 without the extra pickup and fancy pick guard!

ARrghhhhh.

I'd play each first, the necks on the 620 are nice and phat, of course you have to like that. Never played a 350, maybe the next time I'm by Guitar center I'll give it a try.

A 1997 is the export version of the 330 only with the F-hole instead of the cat's eye sound hole. Check out the thread "Swapped out high gains for toaster (360-12)" for insite into toasters . . .

Can anyone tell me the model number of the guitar in the first picture in the thread? Is it a 620 or ...

She Screamed

It became an investment guitar.
Wow, yours is really dark on the edges
Do you know when it was made?

But I still Haven't taken the sticker off of this one . . .

Good deal on e-bay . . .
I needed something other that my 1997 to play everyday so, since I'm tired of the Strat that I built it's 620 time. Love the smooth phat neck. My only dissapontment is the new FG paint job. The older 1997 has a nice golden center, the new paint jobs go to bare wood color ...

With all of the upgrades what is the model ...

A good carpenter is dependant on the quaility of his jigs. Woodworking is 80% setup and 20% action.

When ever I work on something of this sort I would first cover the area in low tac masking tape. Place the part on the area, clamp it in place (with a pad on both side of the clamp jaws).
Then ...

Wooo Hoo! Thanks for "The Dirt" Mr. Hall

PS My 381 that Steve Soest setup just ROCKS!

Thanks again for the extra assist

My 1997 has 12 grommets (Double stacked) it was made in 82 for export to the UK.

My 381 V69 has the rubber grommets along with my 1997 made in 86. The lastest 620 made in the past year that I looked at had the foam ring. Looks like they started using the foam in the 90's on new models and keep the old rubber grommets on the vintage reissues. The 1993 TP 660 in the Bacon & Day ...

It's taking alot of self control not to play until my fingers bleed . . .

It's a great instrument
