Description
What makes this guitar special? This is an awesome vintage Rickenbacker 330 that plays great and sounds even better. Even with the wear and tear on the refinished body, the Blue looks outstanding and is perfectly complemented by white, black, and its rosewood fingerboard. The toaster pickups sound fantastic in all three positions and output a boat load of classic Rickenbacker vibe, plus include extensive yet intuitive controls to get everything dialed in right. The body is resonant, the neck is extremely comfortable and at the end of the day, this is a late ‘60s 330 for around half of what an original finished version calls for.
Condition: This guitar is in good condition overall. It does possess various nicks, dings, dents, scratches, scuffs and finish wear, but still has its vintage charm.

The neck has been oversprayed but still maintains its original Mapleglo color. The neck pickup has been rewound and the finish is peeling on the fingerboard. Functioning truss rod/s.
