Rickenbacker 330

1991 Rickenbacker 330 Fireglo

This guitar is in excellent condition. Very light play wear overall. The headstock has two nicks and a few scratches (shown in picture). Everything is like it should be and works great. All original except the tiny little screws that hold on the bridge cover. One was lost, so I put in two new ones so they match. Guitar has a great grain, burst, finish. And it has a great sound(s). A joy to play.

The Rickenbacker 330

The Rickenbacker shown here in this post is a 330 Fireglo made in their home factory in Santa Ana, California in January, 1991. It’s a beautiful guitar just to look at for sure. And it has the unmistakable Ric sound. You can go either jangly Beatles and REM or muffly warm fullness. It’s not a chameleon at all. It’s a specialist in those two areas.
