Re: 330 Neck

I disagree. Sure, you can buff it back to a gloss again. For that matter, you could repaint it. Nevertheless, you're removing the original finish. To me, that's damage. Anyway, like I said, why do that when a little polish will do the job. It takes all of 15 seconds. Here's John Hall, president of ...

Yup, the green scotch pad really works!! Tried it on my new 620, and the difference is dramatic.

NGD--620

Welp, it looks like I got one of the only Midnight Blue 620s in the USA. After a boatload of research online, it was in my backyard at Truetone in Santa Monica. It’s gorgeous and plays like a dream. I traded it for my Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar and I’m loving its compact feel and amazing craftsmanshi...

Ok, those who know and love the late beloved Jam will be interested--- Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler have revived the Jam, with Russell Hastings singing lead (and playing a drop-dead gorgeous all-black 330), with another musician on guitar/keyboards. Being a huge Jam fan (fortunate enough to see the...

A nice piece about Rics, from Carbon/Silicon
