Great looking Rick, but appears to me to be more of a nicely aged fireglo than autumnglo. The back especially looks much more like fireglo. Please post some new pics when you receive it. Good score!

Thanks guys!Do you think it is worth $699?Looks like it needs a bridge cover.Where can I get one of those?

What a nice guitar - I'd say that was an excellent price.

Possibly (definitely, more like) showing my ignorance here - the bridge looks the same as the 300 series, in which case this http://www.rickenbacker.com/cart.asp?viewitem=00826&category=viewitem should do you nicely.

Definitely worth the money IMO. Contact Mike Parks at the Rickenbacker Page for the bridge cover.

In fact I would take it off your hands as is at that price if it did not suit you.

Thanks Brian.I have a 330 now and if I decide that I don't like the 620 as much I will let you know.I bought the 620 because I felt it wouldn't stay on Ebay very long with a $699 BIN price.

Sounds good to me. I never turn down a good deal. But I am sure you will love it.

I saw that on there earlier, if I didn't have to pay for books for grad school, it woulda been mine. Image

What a beauty! I picked up a mapleglo 620 on there a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still in love. It sounds amazing and gets compliments on its sound and looks everytime I play it. I'm hoping Santa might bring me a 620/12 for Christmas...

Thanks for the posts guys!You know,I just realized why I got this guitar:Harley Lemons told me I had to get a 620.This board is really dangerous.I think I asked a question about the Epiphone Casino which Harley graciously answered and than proceeded to tell me what I really needed was not an Epiphone Casino but a Rickenbacker 620.I half jokingly warned him that he had planted a new obsession in my head but when I saw this guitar on ebay I hadn't even noticed that I had bought it until I saw the "Congratulations!"notice on my monitor.I feel like the Manchurian Candidate.
