Nice Ken. Please comment on how this neck plays compared to the 330 or 360. Any difference?

I prefer it. My other Rick guitars were a 610 and a 360V64. Although I dont't have huge hands they are not small either. I would tend to mute certain notes on the narrower necks when playing certain chords. This is not a problem with the 650 at all. Other than the extra width it has approx the same depth as other Ricks I have played. It is also an easier transition from my home built guitar and my Canadian made Larrive'e D-09. I still have the factory strings on it. They are different to play then roundwounds,IMO. I used them on my 360. I'm not sure if they are right for this instrument though.

The pickups and bridge give it a whole different sound. It seems sustain to as long as you hold the note. I am used to that since my home built is also a neck through. I know that I promised a sound report a couple of months ago in an earlier thread. I just need to sit down and write something comprehensive, but I'd rather play. I promise to get to it though.
