620 question

Post by clearblue »

Does anyone have a model 620 with toasters? I was wondering how it sounds compared to a standard 620.

It sounds like a 660. Nice and bright and jangly. Not as in-your-face as high-gains. It's a matter of personal taste.

I'm tempted to special order one but am waiting to see what the next color of the year is. I've already got a bbr 620 reserved.

Copperglo--like a goldtop?

How about getting that Z-Vex guy to hand-paint them?

Or velcro-glo? No strap needed!

Interesting color Paul. You mean a solid dark copper or maybe more of a burst?

Well, a burst would to my mind's eye too much like Autumnglo or Montezuma Brown. A pearlescent copper (same color over the entire guitar) was what I was thinking of.

Hmmmmmmm....with gold guards? I'm not sure how that would look.... I don't think it would look right with white pickguards, either.... Interesting idea,though.

Not gold. Not white. Transparent? Very light bronze tint acrylic (like sunglasses)? Puce?
