Ric 650 Models

Post by redamber »

Normally, I'm not inclined to circulate photos of my Ric guitars too widely, but since I have already posted this one on another RRF Forum, I thought it might have wider interest.

The photo shows my collection of all five of the Ric 650 variants, comprising (from the left) 650D Dakota, 650S Sierra, uber-rare 650A Atlantis, 650E Excalibur/Frisco & 650C Colorado. The Mapleglo 650C on the right is a 2008 model and looks somewhat anaemic, as it has not been out of its case much - but will eventually mature to that wonderful honey-gold colour! Truly, one of my favourite Ric models.

Here is my '96 Atlantis at SCARF 2009 at the Yost theatre, Santa Ana. The 650-A is surrounded by Danotron's and my guitars on the display table at the Confluence. :)

Ken - I like the look with the Toasters ! Cool 8)
What kind of knobs are those with the black centers ? They go very well with the chrome pickguard.

What does it look like when the plate's removed? How big is the hole? Anyone ever mod it to include a blend knob?

I think those are special Reflect-O-Sonic knobs on the guitar.

I've posted this before, but you can never have enough pictures of 650s. Kodak P850, ISO100, f2.8, 1/30, hand-held in natural light, on 3/2/06.

:lol: Yep spot on. Stock knobs just a refection.
I purchased this from krick and then sold this to another forum member about 4.5 years ago. He has since sold this to yet another member contributing to this thread. :D
