New to me...660/6 BBR

Post by godber »

Arrived to me today, some lovely flame for Bonfire Night :D The slightly wider neck is a little different, but is fairly easy to adjust too. With it's gold plastic, stunning toasters, checkered binding and flame, I have never had anything like this before! I love it!

Wow, that is wonderful!

You're on a roll! :lol:

Did you buy it privately or from a shop?

Wow, what a catch. A glorious guitar.

You'll have to let me know how the toasters compare to the high gains, I've toyed with the idea of getting toasters on a Ric but I'm worried about the lower output, all the others in my band play very loud and I need to be heard! :)

I'm looking forward to seeing the new group photo!

It's going to start costing us a fortune in guitar stands. :lol:

All I can say is WOW! That's beautiful!
Now I really want a Blueburst, and that from a dedicated Mapleglo guy...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
