That is one good looking guitar! I thought the Blueburst was more of a dark blue around the edges fading to a lighter blue in the middle - Like a blue fireglo...

No, it's more of a constant blue. Buy it now, and put the VP's on it yourself, they are cheap at music123.com.

I'm still in two minds on BB. One the one hand it's somewhat consistent with RIC's other bursts, but on the other it can look like a poor effort at a semi-translucent finish.

Anyone know if it has the new headstock?
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

I've got an order in for a 660-12 BBR (originally had a 360-12 on order but changed it once I received the same model in MID). But that photo is making me have second thoughts...

Thanks for pulling me up on that, Doctor. Yes, I did mean BBR!
