Holy smoke. I can see my old 450 in it. Unreal.

Now I know what they mean by shock and awe.
It's a good thing I'm on the Eastern Time because my productivity is shot for the day.
Now, I just need some before photos for my online scrapbook. Ooo-wee!
Of course I'm imagining things. My old 450 was not a lefty.

Small correction for the factually obsessed. It's a 1980 model (or so I was told from its last owner.)
And I think Mike Campbell's and the other three similar models said to have been made in the 60s were indeed 620/12s.
The wai-ait-ting was the hardest part.

Thanks, Paul, and Paul.
Better tell UPS to insure it for a million bucks on account of the way it looks.

Glenn: I might be mistaken, but I believe Mike Campbell's 12-string was called a 625/12 by Rickenbacker. Although the '5' would indicate a vibrato, this is the same inconsistancy that caused John Lennon's 12-string to be called a 325/12. I'm thinking of sending my '80 620/12 FG in for the same conversion. Very impressive indeed!
