The popular Rickenbacker 330 is part of a lineage that includes many prominent musicians such as Tom Petty, Pete Townshend, and Johnny Marr. The 330 features a classic semi-hollow maple body shaped like a crescent moon, with Hi-Gain pickups for a jangly, British-infused tone.

The Rickenbacker 330 is part of Rickenbacker's 300 series of guitars. The 330 entered the Rickenbacker product line in 1958, though at the time the 300 series of guitars was known as the "Capri" series.  It was designed by the German luthier Roger Rossmeisl.  The guitar is associated by many players with the jangle-rock sounds of bands from the 1960s and 1980s but can be used in a variety of settings. The instrument incorporates many features standard on Rickenbacker guitars, including a three-ply maple/walnut neck, a shallow headstock angle, and a thick rosewood fretboard finished with clear conversion varnish. The 330 also features a body with Rickenbacker's "crescent moon" double-cutaway shape with sharp, unbound edges, and an "R"-shaped trapeze tailpiece.

Careful acoustic research has resulted in the full, rich and warm sound of this popular model. Two single coil pickups on a full size body are accented by a traditionally shaped sound hole. The 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard is punctuated by dot inlay fret markers, with full double cutaways permitting access to all the frets. 

The Rickenbacker 330, like all Rickenbacker models, is manufactured in the United States, specifically within the Rickenbacker factory located in Santa Ana, California. It is not mass-produced, but rather produced-to-order.  It's hard to get (we typically have to wait about a year to get one), so if you're interested, grab it now before it's gone!
