About This Listing

Incredibly hard to find unplayed and lightweight Rick 330 in stunningly beautiful Mapleglo finish!

This is pure Rickenbacker tone in a killer axe. It has some of the most beautiful wood grain I have ever seen on a Rick.


I purchased this USA made beauty new for my collection in 2008 and played it only to test out upon arrival . I have stored it carefully in a humidity controlled environment. It plays and sounds fantastic and has zero playtime and zero fret wear.

The neck feels super comfortable and easy to play. This beauty brings the tone of the British Invasion to life.

The tone, playability, neck profile and balance on this Rick is out of this world. This is an extremely well crafted and resonant instrument. In my opinion, Rickenbacker was building some of their best instruments in this time period. The workmanship and attention to detail on this guitar is impressive.

The tone, resonance, weight balance and quality of the finish & fretboard are fantastic. Other than testing upon arrival, this beauty is just as it arrived from the Rickenbacker factory.

Includes original Rickenbacker hard shell case.

Available for local pickup in North San Diego. If you are outside the US, please message me so I can check international shipping rates and availability.

Product Overview
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.
