Rickenbacker 330 12-String, Mapleglo - Secondhand

Full Description

An iconic tone

Rickenbacker guitars have an incredible history in the music scene. Iconic and instantly recognisable, they deliver blissful beauty time and time again. The 330 is no exception. A maple semi-acoustic design infuses the natural tone with bright, airy overtones and a well-rounded, balanced bass, for a sound that is desirable in every essence. Two Hi-gain single-coil pickups are the perfect option to maximise the natural tone’s effectiveness. Completely elevating the sound, these pickups excel in offering the complete image of every frequency for a rich and full tone. Of course, we can’t forget to mention the 12-string goodness. Working to add additional depth to your notes, you will be absolutely astounded at the newfound resonance of your chords, each one striking with more presence.

The peak of performance

The Rickenbacker 330 offers the excellent playability which the manufacturer has become known for. Famed for their efficient and effortless performance, Rickenbacker never fail to deliver a guitar which is a dream to play. A smooth, slim maple neck provides a comfortable grasp, ensuring full control of the instrument, whilst still offering tonnes of freedom to speed from one extreme of the fretboard to the other. The fretboard itself brings this performance to a whole new level. Constructed from Chechen wood (often called Caribbean Rosewood), you get a soft, smooth surface on which you can flutter and flurry across, showcasing your full abilities. Its surprisingly lightweight design still feels incredibly sturdy and durable, delivering an astounding guitar with impeccable performance.

Time tested hardware

An excellent guitar deserves to come with hardware which is equally as impressive and awe-inspiring. Rickenbacker never fail to deliver when it comes to this. Utilising a mix of their own signature hardware and Schaller’s time-tested products, the experience you have with this stunning semi-hollow will blow you away. Tuning stability for all 12 strings is perfectly mastered with Schaller designed machine heads, keeping the strings perfectly tense, tight, and most importantly, in tune.

A six-saddle bridge is the perfect complement, bringing precise intonation and accurate string spacing for a tonal experience which is tailor made to the performer. Giving the guitar its eye-catching finish is an “R” tailpiece, embellishing it with that iconic Rickenbacker decal. This balances the string’s tension, for an even performance.
