Those of you who play Rickenbackers

I never got used to my 360's neck. Too small, hated the fretboard, and I never felt at ease with the guitar. I felt I had to concentrate so much harder just to play basic things.

 

If you are looking for pickups, Kent Armstrong used to make toaster pickups:

Could be worth keeping an eye on Ebay if you went for these. Alternatively give this guy a try:

A few chaps on Musicradar have praised the quality and price of his pickups and I think TGP also has a few words. As he's up for making Wide Range-style pickups, he might fancy making a toaster.

The 660 and 650 models have wider necks.

I prefer the feel of a finish on a guitar, so I recommend a 650 Colorado.

The 650 series has Rickenbacker's humbucking p/u's and the 660 has toaster/scatter wound p/u's.

The 660 12 string has a 12 saddle bridge for better intonation.

The 660/6 has a standard 6 saddle bridge.

Both the 660 and 650 are not stereo.
