Thanks for that Greg. It looks pretty similar to mine, so I assume they were all made the same. The jury's still out on whether I keep the gtr or not. A buyer was lined up for it & it really depends on how upset he is when I tell him I want to keep it!
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Mine gets a little wide on my 660/12, making those fancy cowboy chords on the first fret slightly more challenging. I have read, on this forum I believe, that the 6 series necks are the only ones still shaped by hand. So, I assume this could vary with each 6 series guitar. Any 660 owners care to comment?

You're welcome Anthony. It is quite a transistion from the narrow, slim neck of my RIC to the baseball bat club on the one I made, but I like to play both. Glad to hear that you want to keep it now. they are nice playing guitars.
