Post by RonLovesRic12strings »

Couldn't resist dressing 'er up a bit with gold plastic and Vintage knobs.

Ah, yes. Toasters would top it off just fine. I've an extra set of 12K Toasters...just might give them a try on this one.

Beautiful!! I've said it before, and I still believe it--I think gold plastic should be the default on all the Ric colors--I've never seen gold look bad on any Ric.

Vintage-style tuners would be the finishing touch on this, in addition to the toasters.

I couldn't resist the request. I had an extra set of 12K Toasters and decided to install them. Love the tone...fabulous clean sound and they overdrive very nicely as well. Can the Vintage tuners be installed and, once installed, will they hide the screw hole from the Schaller tuners?

The 620 is a fabulous instrument....I'm surprised it took me so long to finally acquire one!

How do you think gold would look on my new(to me) 620? I can't decide. How much do they charge for the TRC when you send in the old one?
