660 Blue Boy

Post by jps »

Check out the ad for Goodsell amplifiers on page 61 of the April issue of Vintage Guitar magazine. Once I got past the "guitar stand" I noticed what looks like a 660 BB on it. Gorgeous! Image

Mine's an '04 and has white binding. Do you mean the plastic parts? All 660 guitars have gold pickguards and nameplates. I added the oven knobs to mine.

Ive seen the picture on the zoos site of a 660/12 and it looks to have tan or cream color binding?

It's the amber coloring on the binding. I have a AFG 4003 and the binding is very yellowed due to the full body amber coat. The inlays on the fretboard are ambered too.
