Its good ol' Rickenbacker "Mapleglo"! Although I must say that the fingerboard finish doesn't seem to be as thick and glossy as other Rick guitar series. Let me take a look and I'll get back to you...

... no it doesn't seem any different from the finish on other Rickenbacker fingerboards.

Steve's 650C VH is one hell of a guitar. I hope that the VH option (or something like it) eventually comes back to the line-up ...
I'm still very curious about the "upgraded models" that were mooted to replace the 650S and 650D. Perhaps they'll have a similar option.

650A - I wish I hadn't sold it.

Yeah, if you hadn't sold it, I'd own it by now!

It really is John, (and you should know!). There's such a different vibe to the 650 as compared to 300 or 600 series guitars. With the wider neck facilitating string bending, humbuckers and trem unit, its really terrific for lead playing. Now I just have to learn how to play...

Nah, Steve. No need for that. Just sell it to me and I'll take care of it.

And I would have offered outrageous sums.
