It's a 24 and three quarter inches, like the cyclone etc, so I assume I can count it as a short scale.

I've got a 91 Ric 610 - quite similar to your 620. Great guitars IMO. The body is pretty small, and the bridge is set pretty far back, so they look and "feel" sort of shorter than they really are - after all, it's the same scale length as a Les Paul or SG: 24.75".

Hello shortscale.org ! Here's my '76 Mustang.
Bought it last summer, everything's pretty much original I think, I only had the nut changed and the frets levelled (+ stickered it a bit ...). I plan to change the tuners (to white Kluson-style I guess) and that's it. Sounds as awesome as it looks !

I just picked up this 2003 AVRI Jaguar locally from craigslist. I think its Ice blue metallic.
It has toured, and smells like cigarettes. It didnt have the mute, reverb handle or the tone knob.
They were asking $650, I GOT IT FOR $550!!

Part of the decal has flaked off, in person you can see where the 'offset contour body' decal used to be.

That looks awesome.
Is it actually that silver looking or just the photos? I'm hoping it's the cigarette smoke ageing...

In person its has a slight blue tint to it. So, im actually not sure what color it is...

IT looks like it may have been Inca Silver at one point. I'm just waiting for you to sell it!!! Should that day ever come I'll be waiting

It may have been silver, But in person it really does look blue.

Jesus, that's a good price. Looks more like Inca than IBM to me, but IBM is a really tricky colour to photograph. I used to have an IBM AVRI Jag, and I miss it hugely.

Took 2 more pics.

This is what the guitar really looks like in person, very light-ish blue.

But in this picture it totally looks Inca Silver.

What a great deal! It looks a lot like my '65 that I refinished in Inca Silver. Depending on the light, sometimes it looks like Ice Blue Metallic.

Here it looks silver:

Some nice Jags on this page! I must get round to taking some decent shots of mine.

I don't think those were made in Inca Silver. It looks like IBM to me.

I think your right. It always looks blue, the only time it looks silver is in pictures.
