They are a bit rare, as they haven't been made in a number of years, but they pop up fairly often. Yes, basically the same as a 620. Dots instead of triangles, no binding, etc.

Thank you. I have a 360 that I wouldn't mind trading for a solidbody Ric (The solidbodies are just more confortable) and I seen a 610 on GBase, so i thought that i might contact him to see about a trade even though i would rather have a 660/6 or a 660/12. Thank you for the info.

Essentially, its a 620 with dots and no binding. They are more rare than 620's but they come up on the 'bay pretty often.
Hope this helps.

And no Rick-o-Sound.

There's a 1991 JG 610 currently for sale in Toronto at what seems to me to be a very good price:
