Mark - beautiful 650. I've got the same carpet in my music room. Now if only my BBR would arrive...

Mark, I've never been drawn to Blueburst, but that one of yours is simply stunning! Kudos on grabbing it.

Aitch & Sheena, I need one like that to match my 4004Ci.

I love that one, Erik! Can't be many of those out there.

One that I found of interest was this 650 AFG - note the heavily ambered fretboard! Very cool IMO.

My 650C bought from fellow forumite Kevin Kuney, who did the gold pg and TRC.

Next, gold humbuckers, but last I checked they were out of stock.

These things wail!

Camera on the fritz, 'scuze the lousy photo.

I finally bought digital camera this year so you all get to see new pics instead of the old recycled ones. My '04 650C FG sporting a gold guard and TRC along with toasterized high gains. It has walnut headstock ears too!

Aha, did anyone around here get that 650C AFG?

Just today I was thinking over what my life would be like had I picked that one up. ;-(

Erik the 650C BG is gorgeous: a match made in Rickenbacker heaven. As an aside, does anyone know if the 650's are now coming with the new slimmer headstocks?

Good question! I don't think i've seen one roll off the line lately, or since the change was made back on March or so anyway. I could be very wrong about that, of course.

One of our local Rick dealers, Huber & Breese, also received one of the AFG 650s earlier this year. I wonder if they still have it.

I also think that Erik's BG is gorgeous. It's a great color for a 650.

Back to our regularly scheduled day.

How about some 4004's, boys?
