Emmanuel, I own a 650E too. Excellent guitar. Heavier than a 650D has a great sound. Yours is one of the first made, I'm sure.

Notice the difference of the neck heel compared to the current 650. Also it appears to have an additional slab on the back of the neck.

Gorgeous guitar, Stickyfingers!

I have never seen an eBay auction with so many excellent photos, BTW. No wonder you pulled the trigger...

Is that wood padauk? No wonder it's heavier than a C!

Looks like a piece of furniture. I mean that in the best possible way!

I like how everything's finished, as opposed to the oil-rubbed Dakota that i'm used to. VERY pretty!

A gorgeous instrument. Well done Emmanuel.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
