Description

Good Condition! w/hard case

The "Model 330" is synonymous with Rickenbacker—an instrument that continues to captivate musicians worldwide with its distinctive look and sound. We have received a 1995 model on consignment.

Rickenbacker instruments are crafted in Santa Ana, California, USA. The company is a true industry veteran, having produced electric guitars for over 60 years.

The list of musicians who have played Rickenbacker guitars is endless—including John Lennon and George Harrison (The Beatles), Pete Townshend (The Who), Paul Weller (The Jam), Roger McGuinn (The Byrds), Johnny Marr (The Smiths), Thom Yorke (Radiohead), and Tom Petty (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers). It is no exaggeration to say that without this manufacturer, the Mod movement, the Merseybeat sound, and the countless bands that followed in their wake might never have existed.

The "330" stands as a quintessential Rickenbacker masterpiece. This particular instrument features a natural finish known as "Maple Glo."

[Instrument Details]

■ Sound & Appearance

With its traditional maple body, set-neck construction, and unique semi-hollow (acoustic-style) design, this guitar delivers a sound that is unmistakably and exclusively Rickenbacker.

It offers a crisp, immediate attack, perfectly balanced with the airy resonance and "boxiness" inherent to its hollow construction. It excels in clean-to-crunch settings—delivering acoustic-like, bell-like chord work—while also providing a sharp, cutting presence when played with overdrive.

From its iconic body shape and "R" logo tailpiece to its tiered pickguard, the guitar’s refined, instantly recognizable aesthetic is guaranteed to make a striking impression on stage.

■ Condition & Maintenance

Upon arrival at our shop, this instrument underwent a full setup using the state-of-the-art "PLEK" precision adjustment system.

While there is some visible wear and grooving on the frets—primarily near the 9th fret on the 1st through 3rd strings—the precise leveling and adjustment performed by the PLEK machine have eliminated excessive fret buzz or dead notes, resulting in a highly smooth and comfortable playing experience.

Appearance: The hardware shows signs of oxidation and dulling consistent with its age, giving the instrument a distinguished, vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Truss Rod: Fully functional, with room for adjustment in both directions (tightening and loosening).

Electronics: Currently in good working order, with no unwanted noise (such as crackling or static).

Retaining a rich, aged look, this instrument has been refined through our PLEK adjustment process into a highly playable, gig-ready guitar.

Experience the iconic Rickenbacker sound—a tone chosen by countless musicians to deliver legendary, world-class performances.
