New Rick 660

Post by btomlinson »

FYI Just got my 660 Amber Fireglo

The neck is wider than my 360 but I like it better. It is also slimmer and not as rounded on the back. I wish my 360 had this neck profile. It sounds so so good through a Fender Blues Jr. and not as good through a Marshall.

Its a beautiful guitar.

Congrats on the 660, Brett! I love mine as well, and they sound great through my Deluxe Reverb amp, but so does my 360/12, 370/12, and my assorted Fenders. I have never been much of a Marshall fan, but there are plenty of others who are. Enjoy!

I have a old Twin reverb as well. It sounds nice as well. Its just too heavy.

That looks gorgeous! Nice subtle flame and beautiful coloring on the FG.

That would be my opinion about just about any guitar. May I also say that the gold pickguard and TRC compliment the AFG extremely well. Beautiful.

Ya gotta love that Amber Fireglo :D
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Even I was stunned by how awesome the 660 AFGs came out (and I've seen some spectacular finishes in my tenure).
