I think it's interesting how some models really lend themselves to certain colors -

I know the 650 is a great guitar, but it's not high on my list at this point - I think I should have a 360, 620 or a 660 (i.e. the classics) before I move into the newer models.

I'm leaning towards ordering a 360/12 in BBR and keeping my eyes open for a 660/12 in burgundyglo.

Now, that's exactly what I'm talking about, Mike!

Just curious why you went with the white trim on the 660 - I always thought the gold with the burgundyglo was striking...

I've never been a fan of gold with solid colours Tony. OK, before you say it, Burgundyglo is translucent, I just prefer white with the check/white binding, gold trim with Montezuma Brown or Fireglo I don't mind.

Then you'll have to get all the standard colors.

I understand Mike - I also think the Fireglo and Montezuma Brown looks great with the gold...

Dan - you're the second person to suggest I get the standard colors too - I guess I need to get another job...

A great review of the past five years Mike. Terrific photo.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I'd sure like to get more myself. A 350v63 in midnight blue but I'm not that good of a guitar player yet. Taking lessons though. (I have a blueburst 620 reserved.)
