Is the body on the 620 considered a 3/4 size?

I've seen it referred to as 'mid sized', Dan. IMO 3/4 is about right (half-sized when compared to some Gretsch behemoths!!).

They looked so small next to the 330s. But I think the 330 is slightly oversized.

The 330 is certainly larger that a Strat, which would probably be classed as 'standard' size.

I agree.

I'm a small guy and when I put on the 330, I was surprised at its size. Somehow, it seemed bigger when I put it on than when it was hanging on the wall!

Oh, and for the record, I really like the size of the 620...

My 660-12 (same body as 620) looks tiny next to anything. But I love playing it...

Is a 450 the same size as a 620 ? I played a 450 this weekend, it definitely tiny, but no problem.

That's a little guitar, even the length of the neck seemed super small on the 450, I thought it was a 325 size. Are the necks on the 620 longer than on the 450? I would think it would have to be.

The necks are the same length Steve, they are both full scale gtrs in all but body size!

The 450/12 is a very nice player and the 21 fret neck is indeed full size as Tony has mentioned. I quite like the compact body.
In terms of being photogenic, however, the 360/12V64 or the Model 1993 go to the head of the class over the 660/12, 450/12 and 620/12 models. All very nice models, I just like the shape of the Model 1993 with that f-hole and the 21 frets.

Wow, I am surprised that was full scale. The feeling of holding the 450, compared to the big Ric's, is like night and day. I'm glad I went for the 360/12, even though I strongly considered the 660/12. I might have been put off by that tiny size, or at least taken awhile to embrace it. The 360 is like a big ole' banjo, it works for me. I may have liked a 360v63/12 instead, but man, they are pricey. The list price is almost two times as much as a 360/12, although they are, basically, made out of the same material. I guess that is their way of making them "exclusive".
