650D WOOD

Post by kotadawg »

I'm going to be checking out a 650D later today. In one of the photos the owner sent me, it looks like there is a knot in the wood next to the bridge. Is this something that I should be concerned about or is this common? Thanks

Totally common, just a question of whether you like the look or not.

My 650S has a couple of very small knots in the walnut.

Checked it out and it was absolutely mint. Not a mark on it. Unfortunately a friend was supposed to bring a Fender amp and put the Ric through it paces, but a wreck had the road closed down. I don't know anything about amp settings or guitar settings to get the best out of an electric. I'll have to wait to see if we can go over another day. Thanks again for the help.
