MF has the 620/6 for a great price and it's out the door where I live. Any experiences good or bad with MF?

Forum member Don Corleone just bought (and sold) a 360/12c63 from MF, perhaps he can chime in.

All good experiences with MF. I have ordered two great guitars from them, an American Telecaster, and a 360JG. I ended up exchanging the Ric for another one, since it had a cosmetic flaw, I didn't have to pay any extra shipping. Their prices are very competitive, and you can send it back if you don't like it. What else do you need ?

Steve, when you did the exchange did you have to pay the return shipping?

I bought my 650 from MF a bit over 4 years ago. When UPS 'lost' the first one, MF sent me another one and upgraded the shipping to overnight for free. No complaints here!

No, I as I said, no extra shipping.

Midnight Blue (MID) is lovely on a 620:

Of course, it would look better if it had the white plastic and chrome parts on it. It and its 12-string brother are stripped down for a pending project ... the "622/12" which has been in the works for some time now.

I have a radial arm saw in my garage that I need to put back together (I had to take it apart from its stand to get it home) and then the slicing and dicing can begin ...

I agree Gary on the Midnight Blue & 620 combo. When I saw one in a catalogue years ago I thought it was absolutely beautiful. I put one on order at the beginning of 2005, so hopefully I've crested the hill in my wait for it to arrive.

Howdy,

Just about any color except MG. I like FG for the bound 620. I like FG for any bound Rickenbacker. My 2 cents.
