Having just gotten a new 620/6, I can imagine that a 620/12 might be a little tight (although I haven't played one yet). But based on the feel of the 620/6, I can see why so many solidbody 12 players opt for the 660/12.
But for the 6 string version, I really like the smaller neck of the 620; size wise, it reminds me a lot of my Fender Jaguar. |

I have three 12 strings, a 381, a 360 and the 660 (all lefties of course!). I bought the 660 blind (lets face it, where in the UK are you going to find a lefty 660/12VP hanging on a shop wall?) as I couldn't cram my fingers in to play a C chord on the other two without catching other strings. I wasn't sure if it would sound as good but I need not have worried. It sounds great, true Rickenbacker 12 string jingle and it is so easy to play. |

The 660/12 is indeed nice for chords. I'm a bass player primarily, but I can execute a C with little problem. One of our originals has an F# barre with an add note (sorry, I don't know the proper chord name of that one), and I can even pull that off. It's a smooth guitar, especially for a 12-string. Try them all if you can, though. The semi-hollowbody ones have a sweet vibe all their own, too.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all 660's come with toasters, too. |

Here is another vote for a 660/12!
All 660 and 660/12 models come standard with scatterwound toasters. |
