Brown Comparison

I just received my new 2005 Montezuma Brown Model 650C today and it was interesting to compare the color to my 1976 Walnut Model 480. I had not seen these two colors side-by-side before. The Montezuma Brown is nearly black on the edges. It is a striking guitar with the chrome pickguard, maple fretboard, and the black TRC with the chrome-painted name. And as a side note, this guitar rocks. It has a great hard rock/metal tone through my Marshall. I finally have a Ric that sounds good when I play Iron Maiden or Krokus!

Very nice 650! It would look great with gold guards too IMO.

Wonderful comparison, Bob. Thanks very much for that. I have a 330/6 MB waiting for me in the States that I haven't laid eyes on yet, so pics of anything in Montezuma Brown are most welcome.

Beautiful 480 you've got there too!!

Aitch, your MB is in good hands. It will be photographed next to my 1997 just as soon as I get a bit of free daylight time. It is a lovely guitar. the finish is near perfect and the wood of the fretboard is the nicest I've seen in awhile. You're gonna love it.

Thanks Paul. I know you're busy and I'm a patient man. I've got Stan's shots to keep me going....

MB is such a great colour IMO!!

I can vouch for the gold pick guard. I made one for my MB 650C and I exchanged my TRC with Rickenbacker for a gold 660 TRC.

It really sets its off. The gold looks killer.

And your right, the 650 rocks! I play through a Marshall DSL 50 head & a TSL 60 head with 1936 cabs and man the 650 screams.
