Very nice indeed!

I've never understood why 620s aren't even more popular than they are: they look great, are extremely comfortable to play (while standing, anyway -- a bit less sow when seated) and to my ears sound every bit as good as their semi-hollow cousins.

You're absolutely right! I had two 360's, that I loved. This 620 sounds fabulous! Dare I say? It sounds more like a 325 than either of my 360's did.

Tommy,

I'm hoping to have a very merry Christmas as well: I'll be modding both my 1991 330/12 and my 2010 360/12. The 330 job will be a simple pickup swap (7.4K Toasters with nice black covers to replace the hi gains). The work on my 360 has been the subject of two previous threads. One of my local techs has measured the string spacing of a 360/12c63 and will be recutting my nut and bridge to those specs. I'm hoping to end up with what for me will be the best features of both guitars: the comfortable string spacing of the George Harrison model with the rounded cutaway and "R" tailpiece of a stock 360/12. Congrats on your new guitar, and I'll keep you posted on how my mods go.:D

I wish you hadn't posted this. Now I want a 620 in JetGlo.
Very cool looking guitar. Who cares how it sounds or plays. Just wear it.

Nice! Should sound great through that Egnater Renegade. Although I'll admit to being partial to Fireglo, there's something really classic about a Jetglo Ric with deluxe trim.
