I can play all the chords but only have a vague idea where to play them. Nailed the solo though.
Thanks love frustrated from luton
Previously had 70s 330JG and 360/12JG from 1998
I think my 340, owned from new, is the best guitar ever in the known universe.
And my everyday guitar - whose origin is a total mystery, but clearly deserves a seat in rickenbacker heaven.

This appears to be a genuine 620 - notice that even though the channel is routed, the pickup cavities are drilled crudely! -

I am perfectly fine with any scenario tbh, all that matters at the end of the day is that it's a lovely guitar to play, and in my books, the non gloss finish makes it even more likeable. It's the one aspect I wished Rickenbacker wasn't so stubborn on.
