Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that my friend Russ just got in a new 660/12 in Montezuma Brown this past Wednesday. It even looks better in person. We just put a picture of it up on the website. Here's the link: http://www.classicaxe.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=inve.showItemDetails&itemID=1154
It looks like something out of the late 50's-early 60's. Nicely flamed. It looks like Chris from Pick of the Ricks just got one in too. Pictures just don't do it justice!

If your company is gonna specialize in Maple-Bodied instruments, you might as well "go for the gold" when selecting your woods!

Well done!

Yes indeed; that 660/12 turned out beautifully----very reminicant of the finishes on some of the Capri prototypes made by Roger Rossmeisl in 1957-58. Great job.

Any kind of charactered maple is going to look stunning with the Montezuma Brown finish. There's just something about a brown sunburst that highlights the beauty of the wood. Anyone who gets a 381v69, a 660 or a Ric acoustic (all of which have lovely, flamed backs) is going to be bowled over! I think it's the best finish option in ages, and I'm kicking myself for not ordering my 12 string Comstock in MB.

I will have a 660/12 in a few days. I just got off the phone with a guy who is sending me his beautiful MG baby.

I got my 660/12; what an angelic tone it has, I can't put this thing down!
