Hot damn, I love those 650's. Too bad I'll never be able to try one. Awesome looking guitar, how does it feel? I am concerned about how it feels to play it sitting down. Please fill us all in !!

Now, that's a whole 'nuther look! Nice. Very nice!

"I am concerned about how it feels to play it sitting down."

It is very balanced sitting down. I haven't tried it with a strap yet. The body is contoured so it is very comfortable against your body, no digging in. I love the wider neck just perfect for me. So it was this or a 660. Well you never know, maybe both. These are the pics that Kevin sent. If I can get a friend to take some more digitals I will try to capture the contour. The body goes from 1.25" to about .75" at the thinest point.

Personally I want to see more!
I've never seen a 650 in Fireglo I think.

Looks really nice.

Thanks everyone.
I did try it with a strap and it is perfectly balanced and very comfortable. I just have to dial in the sound now.

Hey Ken - do those come with gold plastic or were those guards + nameplate special ordered? Either way they look fantastic on that guitar. Very nice!

It came with a chrome pickgaurd (included with the sale) and a black with silver lettering TRC. The TRC was painted gold, then the letters black. He had the pickgaurd made. I prefer the gold and have no intentions of going back. Here's a shot when it had the chrome pickgaurd.

That's crying out for toasters!

Speaking of Fireglow purchased recently from forum member Kevin...

Wow. I am in love with this guitar...

And the headstock...

Lawton, I played that one before Kevin shipped it, very nice.

As you can see both guitars have the same firehouse-blanket-glo in the background. Maybe soon to be as famous as Jeff Rath's couch.

Jps, I like your thinking! The thought of toasters was going through my head even before I made the final desion to buy it.
