Hot damn, I love those 650's. Too bad I'll never be able to try one. Awesome looking guitar, how does it feel? I am concerned about how it feels to play it sitting down. Please fill us all in !!

"I am concerned about how it feels to play it sitting down."

It is very balanced sitting down. I haven't tried it with a strap yet. The body is contoured so it is very comfortable against your body, no digging in. I love the wider neck just perfect for me. So it was this or a 660. Well you never know, maybe both. These are the pics that Kevin sent. If I can get a friend to take some more digitals I will try to capture the contour. The body goes from 1.25" to about .75" at the thinest point.

Personally I want to see more!
I've never seen a 650 in Fireglo I think.

Looks really nice.

Thanks everyone.
I did try it with a strap and it is perfectly balanced and very comfortable. I just have to dial in the sound now.

Hey Ken - do those come with gold plastic or were those guards + nameplate special ordered? Either way they look fantastic on that guitar. Very nice!

It came with a chrome pickgaurd (included with the sale) and a black with silver lettering TRC. The TRC was painted gold, then the letters black. He had the pickgaurd made. I prefer the gold and have no intentions of going back. Here's a shot when it had the chrome pickgaurd.
