PRE OWNED: great condition other than a few tiny dings on the guitar body & aging fretboard lacquer around frets (see last photo) comes with original Rickenbacker hard case but is without it's certificate and case candy.
As part of arguably Rickenbacker's most recognisable model range (the 300 series), the 330 has been a mainstay on the popular music circuit since its introduction in the late 1950's, and is regularly associated with many key jangle-rock sounding guitar players from the 1960s and 1980s - including (amongst others) John Lennon, Paul Weller, Thom Yorke and Pete Townsend.
This particular Rickenbacker 330 is the 6-string model, and features a Maple body and neck, Rosewood fretboard (with dots), and has a lacquered Black Jetglo finish. Other appointments include the two High Output Rickenbacker single coil pickups, R tailpiece, teardrop scratchplate, and that awesome Blend control knob.
Traditional Body
The Rickenbacker 330 has been constructed with the classic Twin Crescent cutaway shape that has been largely unchanged since the late 1950s. This light-weight, semi-hollow dual cutaway design makes for a comfortable playing experience and grants you full access across the whole fretboard range. The sound produced by these pickups is perfect for those musicians hoping to recreate the jangly Brit pop sound that was prevalent in the 1960s and 1980s.
Exquisite Electronics
The high-output Single Coil pickups are designed along similar lines to the original Toaster pickups, only with a higher output that's more suited to today's musical needs. In addition to each pickup have it's own Volume & Tone controls, there's a Blend control knob. This knob has several different functions, such as acting as a tone blender between the pickups and as a general Bass & Treble EQ for the guitar. It's primary function though, is to act as a volume equaliser for the bass pickup, boosting the usually quieter pickup to be of a comparatively equal volume to its treble counterpart.
