What's worth more 660 AFG or 360 Blue Burst

[btomlinson]

I have a 660 Amber FireGlo. I am not a fan of the skinny yet wider neck. I am really interested in the Blue Burst 360. Are they comparible in value?

The 660 is probably worth more but a 360 is probably more popular. The finishes are probably a wash, value-wise.

I hope this helps.

Currently on ebay, same seller, both near mint:

360 Blueburst $2300 BIN: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-MINT-RARE- ... 19d7e700ae

660 AFG $2000 BIN or best offer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-MINT-RARE- ... 19d7e700ae

I've seen each for less (and more), but that's a sampling of what's currently on ebay.

Hi Ron. I thought New Year would have worn off by now! 'Same seller and both near mint' - not surprising, as both links are for the same guitar!

Anyway, IMHO, although each guitar is a COY, these are very different animals and the value really depends on what type of Ric you want to play/own.

Well someone is paying attention!

Here's the link for the 360 Blueburst: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-MINT-RARE- ... 1c2e5361a5

Agreed, very different guitars. But the question is "what's worth more," not playing qualities/drawbacks.

Thanks all. I was just thinking of a trade. The feeling will pass.

Don't let the feeling pass! I can speak with some authority, as I am lucky enough to own both models - each a fantastic demonstration of the craft of the Rickenbacker Corporation.

On the basis of what my guitars cost me (and contrary to the prices in the eBay auctions referred to), I think that a 660-6 AFG would be worth slightly more than a 360-6 BBR in Europe - though, of course, any guitar is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it!
