The headstock of this 650 is shaped like those in the 7-800 series guitars, but without binding. There is no logo or design in the middle of the headstock. At the top of the headstock is a rectangular brass-colored plaque with the name KENT in black block letters. The Kent catalog shows this guitar with a Teisco-style 6-on-a-side-tuners headstock.

The neck has dot markers. On the back of the headstock, instead of the ugly little black on white paper label, is a little round foil label with model number punched in. The tuners are the exposed-type, which get dirty more easily but are easier to clean.

The 660 was the two-pickup version of the 650.

The necks on the 650 and 660's were variable. The 650 pictured had a 3x3 tuner arrangement and dot fret markers while the catalog photo had a distinctly Teisco-esque 6-on-a-side tuner setup and small square fret markers. But the Teisco ET-100 and ET-200 had rectangular fret markers on the upper edge of the fingerboard (known as "thumb markers" and a headstock shap that closely-followed the Fender design.

And there's another thing... The 650 and 660 were finished in "shaded mahogany". The 1650 and 1660 were the same guitars finished in "century red lacquer". The 651 and 661, same axs again, had a "trem tailpiece" while the 1651 and 1661 had a "tremolo tailpiece". And this all appears on the same catalog page.

The Kent 690 in the 1963 catalog has the standard Kent pickups (rectangular with white trim and black centers) that the Kent 500-series 6-string solidbodies have.

Fretboard markers and pickup styles seemed to vary, especially with the Teiscos.

On September 1, 1963 the U.S. government reduced the tariffs on Kent Solidbody guitars. As a result, prices were reduced about $10.00.
