Another vote for the 660/12.
It's the only one I can seem to play because of the wider neck. I decided to get one after burning 2 hours in the studio trying to nail a 12 string part on a borrowed 360. I just couldn't get the fingering/picking on the narrow neck.

The 660/12 is a dream. I was daunted about moving up to 12 but the wider neck made it simple. Another plus is that the CB binding is very very cool.
I've noticed that there seem to be more popping up for sale lately.

If it wasn't for me, Evan, you wouldn't have gotten to know such a great guitar! :)
