I just want a BG 620 like the guy from the Bay City Rollers! His would have been from 1973 /74

A 1984 one came up on Ebay in January and sold for about $1400 USD... (Now if only it had the small headstock and Kluson tuners, I might have bid that extra 200 bucks and scored it)... Still I was mighty tempted

There's a 1982 360WB in burgundy on ebay at the moment. A little beat up, but it looks good to me!

It was last seen in Germany last year on Ebay. It was from 1980... (it was not likely BT originally - but you never know)...

It was likely one of the earliest production model 620 12's... and Burgundy really suited it quite nicely...

I don't have that one anymore Kira. It was my first Rick, bought back in 2004. An impulse buy at the time, i ended up having great difficulty playing the short scale. Kept it for about 12 months, onsold it, then bought my 360fg.
6 Ricks later, that 320 was probably the "prettiest" i've had.
Footnote: I think the guy that bought it from me had the same problem with short scale guitars: He sold it (for less than he paid) 2 days later!
I believe the 320bg is up around Sydney now.

Yeah, I understand they're not everybody's cuppa. No worries, though, it just means there are all the more for ME. :lol: That sure is a sweetie, though. 8)
