Which 12 string should I get?

Having owned both, my vote goes to the 360/12. My 620/12 has a chunky neck that doesn't feel Rick-like. As far as sound, the solid body is just a little too brittle for me.

It'll now have to wait now that the 4080 is on the way, but I think all things considered I prefer the 360/12. Definitely FG though! I love the look of that for guitar, thought JG is my fave for bass.
Are there feedback issues when dealing with reasonably loud stage volumes? I used to play with a guy who had an old Gretsch which would howl the instant you played an E note on bass.
Thank you all for the input. You guys are most helpful.

I actually do like it. Just don't love the body styling, although most seem to see it as the "classic" Rick.

Paul, I have a similar feeling about 381s. I reallly admire the wonderful craftsmanship, and can understand how others find them beautiful, but in my gut, I just don't love the body style. Who knows, maybe I wasn't such a big Steppenwolf fan back in the day.

Now, a 360-12... that's my idea of the perfect guitar body style.

IMO the rounded 360 body shape looks great, but not as 'classic' as the 330. Having said that, I bought a 660/12 mainly because of the neck width. Looking forward to receiving my 360/6FG, though!!

I agree with Paul on the double bound 360 - beautiful!!

I also like The 360 WB. I believe it provides better definition to a classic body style. A double bound body just appeals more to my taste.

"A double-bound body just appeals more to my taste."

Pretty kinky, if you ask me.

I have a friend that is selling a '86? 620/12, red with black hardware, all the tags, everything included, looks like new, if anyone is interested. Might be getting it next week to take pictures and such.

660/12 is my favorite. I love mine!
