Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo 1989 USA Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Rickenbacker 330 electric guitar in Jetglo finish. Made in the USA in 1989, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a semi-hollow Maple body, 3-Piece Maple neck and 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including the classic 'R' tailpiece, 6-saddle bridge and Schaller sealed tuning machines. The pickups installed are a pair of Rickenbacker hi-gain single-coils which are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, independent volume and tone controls and a blend knob for balancing the sound in the middle position. The guitar is refreshing to play, its wide body giving something reassuring to hold onto while the double cutaway gives easy access to the entire fretboard, even up to the 24th fret. The frets on this particular instrument appear to have been replaced with larger than traditional, feeling somewhat like medium jumbo size. These pair well with the 10" fingerboard radius for great feeling chordal work and practicality for lead lines and bends, whilst the un-lacquered Rosewood fingerboard feels great under the fingers. The neck profile might be described as a chunky ‘C’ shape, and is substantial in the hand without being cumbersome, providing a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. Unplugged, the 330 has a bright, clear and resonant sound thanks to its semi-hollow Maple construction. This can be clearly heard when amplified, with an open and airy tone which is unique whilst remaining practical for a wide range of genres and playing styles. The single coil pickups provide all of the jangle that you would expect from a Rickenbacker, sounding clear with plenty of chime while still feeling full bodied and handling a surprising amount of gain. The 330 responds well to overdrive, feeling quite lively yet stable, due to its centre block.
