That's true Gary! Mine needed some dwindling sunlight to come alive:

Here is my less than spectacular photo of my 660 that I received last Friday.
I just cracked her open last night when I got home.

Beautiful, beautiful guitar and the width is perfect for my large mitts.

It's too late for me and a 75th anniversary 660. However, I'm still contemplating selling my 370/6 MG VP for a 660/6 to get the wider neck.

"Wait yer turn, JPS!"

But I am on the way to you from Seattle!

Flash pictures, with apologies:

Nice pics Gary, but I don't see any traces of "cherry" yet!

Beautiful, Gary. Now you need to get some without the flash.

Congrats, Gary!

(hmmm...a bound headstock would be cool!)

Mine is in. Just have to open the box. Pics will be posted soon after. Not that mine will look any different than any other.

Battery is dead in the camera. The 660 is great. Finish is beautiful and the checkered binding really compliments. Super job on the guards too, Paul. Neck seems to be "wide yet thin". Certainly not a log. Pickups seem more "trebly" even with the neck p'up only. No problem though, just turned the tone knob.
