Description
Description
This second hand guitar is in very good condition.
2008 model. includes original Rickenbacker hard case.
Some light play wear on the body , a little dent on the tip of the cutaway , and a scuff on the top of the headstock, but nothing major.
The Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo is a legendary semi-hollow that stands apart from anything else on the market. Its chime, clarity, and unmistakable character make it a favourite of players from The Jam to R.E.M. to countless indie bands with its distinct personality and unmatched jangle.
Build & Design
The Rickenbacker 330 is one of the brand’s most iconic semi-hollow guitars, instantly recognisable for its offset double-cutaway body and sharp, angular “R” tailpiece. The Jetglo (black gloss) finish accentuates its sleek, vintage-modern aesthetic.
-
Body: Semi-hollow maple with no centre block, giving it a naturally bright resonance.
-
Neck: Maple neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard and Rickenbacker’s classic triangular pearloid inlays.
-
Scale Length: 24.75" with 21 frets, offering a familiar Gibson-like feel but with Rickenbacker’s unique character.
-
Hardware: “R” tailpiece, 6-saddle adjustable bridge, and Schaller tuners.
The craftsmanship is unmistakably Rickenbacker: solid, premium, and slightly idiosyncratic. Its design hasn’t changed much since the 1960s.
Electronics & Controls
The 330 features two Hi-Gain single-coil pickups, which deliver Rickenbacker’s trademark chime and punch.
-
Controls: 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way pickup selector, and Rickenbacker’s unique 5th “blend” knob, allowing subtle mixing of pickup output.
-
The electronics give it incredible tonal flexibility, although the control layout can take time to master.
Tone & Performance
-
Clean Tones: The 330 excels in jangly, articulate cleans—perfect for indie, alternative, pop, and 60s-style rock. Chords ring with exceptional clarity, while arpeggios shimmer beautifully.
-
Overdrive: With light gain, the tone retains clarity and bite. Pushed harder, it can get raw and aggressive, though it doesn’t deliver thick, saturated tones like a Les Paul.
-
Resonance: The semi-hollow construction adds airiness and presence, but also makes it more prone to feedback at high gain/volume.
-
Playability: The neck has a slim but slightly flat profile. Some players love it; others find it quirky, especially compared to more conventional Fender or Gibson designs.
