660/12 Arrived Today!

Post by uzumaki »

My first electric 12 string arrived today, a Midnight Blue 660/12.
It joins it's 6 string brother, my Jetglo 620/6.

Here are the first family shots. It was LOVE at first chiming chord!

I'll take some better shots when I have some natural daylight.

Very nice. I love that color combination.

Right on Christopher!

My first Rickenbacker was a 660/12 FG, and I added a 620/6 JG just like yours to the family in November. Killer combination.

Brian, a MB 660/12 was my first Rickenbacker guitar. Bought it in late '04. There is no finish like MB!!! Congratulations, Christopher, on your new Rick 12 !

Paul, I think you made a typo: MB is the abbreviation for Montezuma Brown ... MID is the abbreviation for Midnight Blue.

Gary, I think Paul was referring to the post just before his.

Stan, then it was Sodbuster who created the discontinuity, as the guitar shown at the beginning was MID, not MB. My apologies to Paul.

Yeah I forgot about Montezuma Brown, DUH, although Its one of my favorite colors, Didn't think the MB abbreviation looked right, I had the choice of FG or MID when I bought my 360 and went for FG, I just love it, but I would have been just as thrilled with MID,
