Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Few guitars can match what Rickenbacker's 660 offers in its price range. That's why many musicians decided to go for 660, and if you decide to do so as well, you surely won't be sorry. With almost nothing to add to this beautiful instrument, rest assured it will serve you well.

Rickenbacker went really far in carefully choosing 660's features. There's little to be wished for, which makes 660 a full-featured guitar for a musician that plays a music style this instrument is primarily built for. If you decide to go for Rickenbacker's 660 you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by 660.

This beauty has virtually no flaws. Rickenbacker surpassed their traditional level of quality and produced an instrument that is built great, and built to last. The finish is amazing and the hardware easily adjustable to fit any kind of action. The neck is superb and smooth while playing. 660 stays in tune 99% of the time and responds well to various playing styles.

660 is a reliable guitar that will go to hell and back with you, and would want to do it again. It's a magnificent instrument that is reliable on stage as it is in studio. It will stand the beating and still would not lose its charm and ability to perform. Rickenbacker did make the instrument that should be considered the most reliable in its class!
