They sound well good and all but I don't really like Ric 12's...Ric necks are fat enough and the the fretboard is pretty narrow for a 6....they don't make the 12's with any different dimensions so the strings are way too close together for me. I suppose this is something that you adjust to after buying one but I couldn't see myself doing that as much as I love my Ric 330.
I have a danelectro DC12 right now, and I'm thinking the next 12 I'll get will be an Italia Rimini 12 in sunburst or black.

It would take a non-mirrored pickguard, and a regular looking F-Hole to get me to buy one of those. They look decent for the price.

Do it! I've got a Desert Gold 660/12 and absolutely love it. I've also owned a 330/12 and a 360/12, and though I like the bigger semi-hollow bodies, the extra spacing on the neck of the 660/12 is quite nice. Oh, and they're beautiful.

Do the toasters sound substantially weaker than the hi gains? I want my output levels to be pretty similar between guitars when I play out.
right now a ric 12 is kind of a "maybe next year" kinda thing for me.....but it's good to know they make one I would be comfortable with. They are beautiful.

That guitar looks like a maton electric a lot, I love it.

Not a huge difference, but there is a difference. There are different toasters as well. Some are wound hotter and some are quite weak. Also, the 660/12 is the production version of the Tom Petty signature guitar.

Oooh, I think that's possibly my favourite Smiths track at the moment. I've got my heart set on a 360/12, I find the 330s a bit big, and am not too keen on how pointy the horns are. And ideally I'd want toasters 'cause at the moment I'm finding the Hi-gains on my 620 to be a bit aggressive. I'm also going to have to agree with Nick on the fretboard thing, how they seem far too close together, but yeah, I think it'd just take time to get used to. Anyway, I can't see me ever getting one unless I sell the one I have.
