American made in 2008, the 330 is one of Rickenbacker's most famous shapes. Chambered construction with a set neck and 24 fret rosewood fingerboard (42mm nut width with a 628mm scale length), it weighs 3.6kg's. Appears to be all original and includes the factory fitted hard case.
Traded in at our Gladesville store, this one's in well loved but well cared for condition as pictured with some bumps, bruises and light sticker tan on the body. The neck is straight and the truss works as it should, restrung recently with 12's for a nice firm feel and sound.

As one of the most popular Rick guitars currently in production, the Rickenbacker 330 has a host of famous fans: Tom Petty, Pete Townshend, Carrie Brownstein, and Johnny Marr, to name a few. The 330 sports Rickenbacker’s classic semi-hollow crescent moon body made of maple. Older 330 models came with the Rickenbacker Toaster pickups, which are more suited to a tone a la The Beatles, while the newer Hi-Gain pickups may sound more like The Smiths. Either way, the Rickenbacker 330 is great for jangly, British-sounding tone.
