Was it a "digital or analog" o'clock? At 3:50 it's almost in a complete circle! could it be 15:50 (Military time)? Or "f" hole in the mirror?

Ummm...if you put the guitar on a guitar stand, the righthand side of the f-hole is pointing to a 2:00 position, as opposed to some 325 models, which point at a 1:00 position.

Really. That's what it means.

Thanks, Kenny...I really apologize "WOOLY" for my "taking-it-and-runnning-with-it" silly attitude...only meant to have some fun! Actually your are absolutely correct...I've had a 2 0'clock version (which I wish I had again) and I currently have a 1 0'clock 320. LOVE the sound!!! SSSSSOOOOOO much better than the closed top 320's. Any comments??? God Bless!!! AL A.

I want a 620 with a 9 O'clock soundhole.Or would a 3 O'Clock look better?? Actually, an 11:15 would be perfect....

Hi, Don! How's things going? Canyou give me price on a single gold guard for a Ric 320? You did a magnificent job on the set of gold guards for my 330/12!!! How are you digging Hawaii? Care for any visitors?? God bless...Al Adams(Albuquerque,NM )

Al, email me privately on doing another guard.I'm doing OK here.Not totally settled, but almost. So you're planning a trip way west[off the mainland??]
Kenny;like most of us here[c'mon guys, fess up]
were it not for Ricks, we might not be crazy.
Not as whacked as some of them over on Voxtalks, though.Peter keeps things pretty well organized over here.I should be finished with your guard later this week, Kenny.

Don: I'm trying to convince my wife of 29yrs to take another "Honey-Moon"....destination: Maui!!! It'll be a blast! I'll email tonight from my pc at home. Wooly - now I understand why you were thinking the soundhole was 3 0'clock...and Don: I also think that a 620 with a "Slash" (all the way thru the body) would be different! Kinda like a "monkey grip" on the Ibanez guitars.
