Well, I got this baby about a year ago
and finally decided to
make it my dayly player so,
I TOOK THE STICKER OFF OF THE PICK GUARD!
With all of the upgrades what is the model number?
Is it a 625 or a 620 with upgrades?

Good deal on e-bay . . .
I needed something other that my 1997 to play everyday so, since I'm tired of the Strat that I built it's 620 time. Love the smooth phat neck. My only dissapontment is the new FG paint job. The older 1997 has a nice golden center, the new paint jobs go to bare wood color.

Of course there's nothing wrong with natural wood
But I still Haven't taken the sticker off of this one . . .

What could possibly be wrong with playing a Fireglow 1997 every day?

It became an investment guitar.
Wow, yours is really dark on the edges
Do you know when it was made?

Well, if yours is an ORIGINAL 1997 I can certainly understand why you wouldn't play it daily. Wow. Mine is a re-issue, August 1998.
It does look almost like a Gibson tri-burst, doesn't it?

MY 1997SPC/VB is my all-around main guitar.
Great guitars, Mike!

1997's rock. My FG '92 is my pride & joy & I just bought Bob Belloffs MG, via Mike Smith. I love 1997's!!
BTW, thanks to both Bob & Mike...both are total gentlemen..

Apparently, you get all the killer ones, many of us only can get the regular Ric's! How would you describe the sound of one of these, compared to a regular 330 with hi-gains, for example ? And why it called a 1997, anyway ?

A 1997 is the export version of the 330 only with the F-hole instead of the cat's eye sound hole. Check out the thread "Swapped out high gains for toaster (360-12)" for insite into toasters . . .
Can anyone tell me the model number of the guitar in the first picture in the thread? Is it a 620 or a 625?
