I never saw a green 620 before.Is this a Rickenbacker color?

Probably Turquoise. It was discontinued around 2002.

If indeed it is green (hard to tell), it is a refin.

That's pretty! Could even be a photoshop job, though. No way to know without more info.

It looks a lot like "Cloverfield Green", an official Rick color, but I don't' think the factory painted 620s in that color...

Cloverfield was only available IIRC, in the mid '50's, and this 620 certainly wasn't around then.

+1

It's Turquoise ... note the "Made In USA" sticker still on the pickguard, indicating that it was probably new at the time that the picture was taken.

Looks like it came from Mike Parks' website. Color is off and very deep, but probably TURQ.

+1 on TUR.

photo quality sucks, and the color is way off. (Though I LIKE the color as it appears. That'd be cool on a 330 too..)

It looks like the brightness and contrast of the original image have been 'adjusted'. Let me try it on my 360 TUR:

: 360 TUR - Before brightness and contrast adjustment

: 360 TUR - After brightness and contrast adjustment

Thise still look like turquoise. My bet is that the 620 in question has been refinished.

A deep forest green would be an awesome color for the 300 & 600 series.

Gee, Dave, you've been reading my mail...

I'm working on a deep forest green 730 and also a 300-series right now. Pictures when they're complete.
