Peter, somebody is posing as me and answering your queries. Actually, the vintage knobs don't allow me to apply enough torque. But the old white TRC looks cool on my refrigerator. | ||

I have a 350v63BB on order from Mike Parks having never picked one up before. I love the look and the fact that it has toasters, the vintage tailpiece is also nice. God only knows when it's gonna come in, it's been a few months now. Never been a big fan of the 600 series but the 660 is definitley the nicest of the bunch. | ||

The only difference I feel is if I play one of my Les Pauls for a while then switch over to a Rick and yes there is a huge difference but I adapt quickly. The necks on any Rick I have played is equally comfortable for me, I'd like to try a short scale 325 though. | ||

After a Les Paul, 660 or the like a 325 might be an adjustment. I like mine but I use it as a situtional guitar. Don't know if you're a big Beatles fan or not, but for instance, doing 'I Feel Fine' on a 325 is a whole lot easier for me than any other guitar, because the stretch is a lot easier, but that's just me. | ||

That's what I hear all the time, and a little less stretch is a good thing sometimes. heh.. | ||

I agree. "I Fell Fine" is a stretch to play on any Non-Rick item. Of course it wouldn't sounds as good on anything else. | ||

Always having been a huge Harrison fan, two things shocked the devil out of me later in life: First, to find out it was Lennon playing the intro and restart riffs for "I Feel Fine", and second, that on the recording, he used his Gibson J-160E. Yes, he used the 325 for live performances (notably Ed Sullivan in 1965) but the Gibson was the recording instrument. I found that out in Babiuk's book, and in the Rob Taylor DVD, "Beatles To-A-Tee". And danged if he didn't EXACTLY capture the sound on the DVD. | ||

And yes, I found it VERY difficult to play on the Epi version of the J-160, the EJ-160E. How Lennon could do that on the 10th fret on a guitar with no cutaways.... | ||

Oddly enough when I first learned to play I Feel Fine I did so on a D-35...and when I got my 325 and played the same riffs, it was almost too easy after the acoustic. |
