I've been slackin' on these. I'll get this started...

I assure you that the guitar is still beautiful even when it isn't backed by a carpet that was designed by the person who invented cat vomit.

Ditto! Should you ever decide to sell... hint hint..

Heh. It would be extremely low on my list of things to sell.

Right around the time I started sort of hanging around here and on the Rickenbacker forum, Ben posted this over there:

- it was about that one. Probably the greatest "mistake" in the history of guitar making!

Here's a little more. For those of you who aren't wild about the guitar, you can see the carpeting in finer detail...

Hmmmm. I'm having a little trouble with the wacky image posting. I'll put them up when I figure out what's up.

There is only one Rick guitar I like better than the 650, it's what ever one Darren is playin the blues on!!!!

Wow.... That is about the most amazing Blueburst I have ever seen.... There's just something really cool-looking about 650's anyway....

One of the things I really like about the 650's is the simplicity. The only over-the-top thing about this guitar is the flame, which is a bit wild and asymmetrical, but really works with the simple lines, etc.

I would add that it sounds and plays better than it looks. On a good day, even in _my_ hands.

POTR's photos of this one (which can still be viewed) does not even come close to capturing the grain detail. I have a 660/6 and a 330/12 in blueburst which is my favorite RIC color. That is a gem!

Simply spectacular, Mark!

This one's been here before:

I had a 650 once...

650's rule!
