I played it through my SWR Baby Blue II Combo, which works great for lots of differrent instruments as it has a fairly nuetral sound to it, by design. The speaker section was designed by Bag End.

I think I'd have a hard time playing the song I wrote for it on bass!

Jeffrey,

the combination of MG, gold guards and gold TRC is very impressive. That is a very nice looking guitar.

Do mine eyes deceive me, or is there no checkered binding on that 660?

Nice Pic, Jeffrey!

Don't all 660's have checkered binding?

There's binding of the checkered sort--but at this size and resolution, you can't see it, methinks.

I really love my 660/12 FG but an MG or a TQ (especially) 660 would be more than nice to have stashed in my "Rickendrobe" even if it wasn't a 12!!
