Rickenbacker's 330 model is one of the coolest electric guitars in our humble opinion. There's really nothing quite like these 60s semi-hollows. When it comes to model popularity, the 330 has long been championed by players such as Tom Petty, Peter Buck, and Kevin Parker, continuing to solidify its position among Golden Era vintage electrics.

This 1974 Rickenbacker 330 in original Mapleglo finish takes the top spot in terms of the cleanest we've had in the shop to date.

Outfitted with a pair of Hi-Gain single coil pickups, this 330 has all the sparkle and chime you expect from a Ric but with a bit more top end sizzle/bite. The neck is slightly fuller in profile, inching closer to what we'd describe as a late 50s Gibson carve, albeit with a narrower nut and tighter string spacing. The taper is slim and comfortable, allowing for near effortless chordal work regardless of your position. onthe neck. Whether played clean or with a touch of overdrive, its clarity and balanced voice make it one of the best rhythm guitars out there.

The guitar is entirely original throughout, and even features its original hardshell case which is in great condition. It's a superb playing and sounding example as we've heard from this era.
