CDXXVvLXIII...ah, forget it, let's just cut to the chase.

Have you played "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or "She Loves You" on that little guy yet? I know you probably tested it out with one of your own songs, though.

hmmm...just out of curiosity Jake, what's the deal with which song everybody plays first on their guitar? I for one could care less when I get a new one, which song is played on it...? I'm ususally too busy making sure I didn't get bamboozled with a bad guitar!

When I bought my 660/12, someone on the RIC Corporate forum asked me what was the first thing I played on it...lemme see if I can find it...

I'm just carrying on the tradition, Collin, not to mention taking an interest.

Yeah Jake, usually no thought goes into what I play first. Some mindless strumming and noodling, to make sure everything's kosher with the guitar. And I really just don't ever sit down and play "songs".

I love the finish. Is that a through-neck?

The 425v63 and 450v63 are neck-through models ... talk about sustain! I love them!

Very cool John, isn't that just like the one George Harrison bought in the states before The Beatles hit it big here? I know he had it refinished to a sort of Jet-Glo and only played it on a few early gigs in the UK.
Way to go man !
