What's the difference between a 620 and a 660?

Flames really don't work on a Rick. I don't even think Fireglo type finishes do.

I don't like this finish but I disagree with you about flames. I saw an amazing 381v69 in blueburst on ebay a couple months ago.

I don't understand this guitar....why do you want humbuckers on a 12 string? Also the ESP/Jackson ish finish doesn't work. Subtle flames look alright in fireglo and mapleglo, this just looks wank though. Do not want

660s (apart from that special, obviously) have toaster pickups, checkered binding, adonised scratchplates, vintage style tuners, and trapieze tailpieces as opposed to the "R" style. I think that the fretboard may be slightly wider than the 620 but I'm not sure about that. I'd love a 660/12 D:
