Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks Ron!!! I have had lots of guitars and four diff Rics but this has got to be the best playing and sounding one of all(an old SG I wish I never sold may be second). This fret board is perfect for my hands and action is so nice it plays like that stuff that you put on pop corn that isn't salt. These pups have a loud ringing sting to them that is like a Tele with compression but without the ice pick. Killer sustain. I think it needs some heavier strings on it to be even better. Perfect FG finish with no insane clown posse shenanigans. I have only had it about an hour but wanted to share. Now all it needs is a Bigsby!

Awesome! congrats!

Oh, that looks nice! Congrats Allen!

Beautiful! Happy for you!

Gorgeous--congrats!! I love the gold plastic on Rics--I don't think there's any Ric finish that doesn't look good with gold.

Very nice,congrats!

I passed on a nice black Tom Petty 12 back in the day......oh wait ,i've already told ya that on the other forum!

Congrats, Allen !!

Very nice. Gotta love that Fireglo! As for putting a Bigsby on it, please don't--a Rickenbacker Ac'cent vibrato (or whatever they're calling it these days) will work fine, should retrofit without any modifications, and the original tailpiece will go back on if you want to put the guitar back in stock condition.

The fabulous "new guitar day," what a treat. It's like Christmas morning any time of the year! That's a great-looking axe friend. I've got a new/used guitar coming Tuesday myself! I'm itching...

Hell yes, sir!

The question is: Is that a 620 with toasters or 660?

There are at least 10 differences between a 620 and a 660. The PU style is one of them.

If you compare the features listed for the two models on the RIC website, most of the other differences will be apparent.

Sir, I was asking the OP, because it's possible that it could be a 620 modded - That's at least to my naked eye.

Well I am the guy that sold the 660 to the OP so I also know the guitar pretty well! That guitar is, indeed, a 660!

How does this prove the guitar is not a fake?
