Rickenbackers are a wonderfully individual guitar, and the name has been around since the very earliest days of electric guitars. The 330 was introduced in February 1958, and has been produced from then until the present day, a remarkable achievement.

The 330/6 (6-string) features a semi-acoustic hollow body with the top, sides, and ribbing carved from a single piece of maple. A solid back is precision laminated to the front. The pickups are Rickenbacker single-coils, which are at the heart of the unmistakeable Ricky sound. One of these through a Vox AC-30 is heaven on a stick!

This beautiful and original example dates from November 1989. It's finished in the very sexy Jetglo (black) finish, and comes in the original Rickenbacker black tolex hard shell case. The body is 15 1/4" wide and 2" deep. The guitar sports the "R" tailpiece that was introduced in 1963.

Condition is excellent, with the original frets and clear fretboard finish showing no wear. There are one or two tiny chips to the body, but this almost 20-year-old Rickenbacker is totally original and unmolested. Even the original bridge cover is still intact.
