You can hear my 650A *Atlantis* here:
http://www.myspace.com/noelchristianriddell

Used for the main electric track in 'Seaside' and the lead in 'Sand'.

Songs play automatically, no download necessary.

The 650s are striking instruments visually. The tonal sweep is WIDE. They make superb recording/studio guitars due to their versatility.

Best wishes, Noel
650A/VT Atlantis

noel
that's a FINE looking example of a 650! where did you find it? never seen one with the painted body and the natural center like that. stunning - and quite unique, imho.
thanks for sharing that one.

You wouldn't have to twist my arm too hard for a 650 - C, D or S. Unlikely that I'll see one over here unless I place a specific order. The wider neck could make it interesting, too!

That is indeed beautiful, Noel - a jewel!!

Interesting description--Heavy Metal, Madonna, blah blah blah...and then at the end, he says, "all kidding aside..."

I wonder...does he mean his whole description was a put-on?

Lovely guitar, though. "Plays like a virgin" (?!?!) Give me a break!

My 650D was one of the best purchases I've ever made!

$650 is a good price for a 'C' - but I'll bet it doesn't have walnut body wings.....

Maple body wings. Walnut headstock wings. That one is jetglo so it's a moot point.

Why bother with walnut for the headstock wings if it's going to be painted? I don't think there's an ounce of walnut in any 650C.....

OOPS! I stand corrected.... this one certainly looks like it has walnut headstock wings:
