Those aren't pre-500s. The first one is 2447.

 

[Gear-Monkey]

the first one is 2447 not 244 (easy to misread from all the dust)

the other two are 600's (as he said)

 

[LUCRETIA]

the first one reminds me of cyberguitar2002 ads..
take a look at the descriptions and background photo.

I've never tried or knowingly heard one of these ... what do they sound like compared to the Mark series?

**** you're right. I saw 244 and a serial loop and it threw me off.

oh well

I think you're right on that one - the table width and green stools are a dead giveaway; the hacked up description text sure doesn't help, either.

Good eye!

they're in between the scooped mark sound and the ultra bass heavy stuff you hear on some recordings nowadays...It's kind of hard to describe unless you've played a recto before. If you've played a recto before, the sound is much tighter, creamier, and organic, not to mention clearer. No fizz. It also plays leads very well, though not as well as a Mark.
