I have a 620/6 FG..and am scrounging.. saving.. for a RIC 12 string..

Originally I thought I might get a 330/12 or 360/12.... but the more I like my 620/6... the more I think I'd love to get a 620/12... I'm familiar with the body.. . 21 fret neck length and shape.. Might even get FG.. for a matching pair.. ( although the MID is sooo nice )

Who else out there got the pair... 620's.. 6 and 12 string? Toasters on the 12 string? same color?

Pictures too if you have 'em!

I have both 620s (6- and 12-string) in Midnight Blue. I'd post pictures, but both have the hardware removed ... the plan is to use them to make a "622/12 doubleneck" one day ... Both came with high-gains, but I have a set of toasters that are intended for the 12-string half.

Mark -

I had both a 620 and a 620/12 as a teenager, and have recently reacquired replacements in the past few years...

So I too have both again... Certain features - like Kluson tuners and the smaller pre 1983 headstock were essential for me - so it basically meant looking around to find them used...

I'm sure you'll get to it right after you send me the 75th videos for editing!

There's plenty of time for that, Jdog!

Wow.. a rarity it looks like.. 620's

I was expecting maybe Ontario_Ric would jump in .. ( as I've seen his signature )

so that's : ONE.

as the other <doctorwho> has his in parts.. for a 622 project!

Thought there would be more!

I bet there are dozens! - who own a 6 and 12 in the model 330 or 360!

Well.. I'll post pics with I join the 620 6/12 club!

Mark - this was my first two 620's... Both lost in a fire in 1991. The 12 string belonged to Chris De Burgh before me...

I just found a video of Chris De Burgh playing a 12 string on youtube yesterday. Is this the same guitar?

Jason:

Yup same guitar, from June 1980 - TF2140 - I owned it longer then he did!

More you tube videos of it at this thread.... viewtopic.php?f=11&t=392484

I replaced it with one from November 1980...
