Understandable, and of course, the best choice for you. Congrats on your replacement guitar. You know, I’m sitting here reading this, and I realize that during my dozens of visits to a very active Guitar Center, I never saw a 620; they’re just not that common. On the same day you return your 325, you “find” the 620. It seems as though the 620 found you. Too cool. Congrats again. |

Thanks Maxwell, and yes, it was serendipity I suppose finding the 620 after returning the 325... I really wanted the 325 for the John Lennon factor, but I do have my Hofner bass and I'm a huge McCartney fan. Perhaps I'll keep looking in the used market for a 325. Oddly, GC does not have a great opinion on Rics and I've heard it a three different GCs throughout VA... |

I was having all kinds of problems with the roller bridge I order a regular bridge and wow what a difference all my issues went away. |

I used Grease to stop any slight buzz from the bridge on my Ric 325 (I have 12s on it so no staying in tune problems) However! A more annoying problem is: When you lower the Bridge down to a nice easy playing feel Height for the Strings etc! This results in a Fret Buzz on Bottom E String and also slight scratchingness from the top E String! Upon looking at the Roller Bridge closely, I notice that although the Saddle's Rollers are obviously set at Heights follow the Curve of the Neck! For some reason the Top & Bottom E String Saddle's Rollers are set WAY TOO LOW! IS THIS A DESIGN FAULT??? I believe that is why it is almost impossible to set a reasonably low playing action, without E String Rattle/Fretbuzz. I thought I saw a site selling a more finely machined Ricky Roller Bridge, but can't seem to find that site again! Any Thoughts? |

Grease Stopped The Slight bridge Rattles on my Ric 325! However! It is almost impossible to get a Reasonably Low Playing Action without experiencing Fret Buzz on The LOW E String and also a little Fret Scratchyness on the Top E String! I believe this is caused by a Design Fault with The Bridge Saddle Roller Heights! (The Rollers have Heights Set to follow the Neck Curve!) BUT!!! THE Top & Bottom E String Rollers seem to set WAY TOO LOW! Any Thoughts??? Cheers Ross Sakey. |
