The Rickenbacker 330 Semi Acoustic Guitar is beautifully crafted from maple, which has been fashioned into a distinctive and double cutaway design, providing a stylish instrument.

The choice of a hollowbody, and also its unique double-cutaway body shape, keeps the guitar lightweight and provides beautifully intricate voicing, as well as full access to the higher frets. Its lightweight design also allows you to play for longer, making it an ideal choice for gigging musicians. Boasting a beautiful Jetglo finish, the Rickenbacker 330 is visually stunning.
Maple neck and rosewood fingerboard
The Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo features a rosewood fingerboard that's mounted to a maple neck for added stability as well as a stylish look. This rosewood fingerboard also helps keep the tone mellow and offers some sparkle to the highs, and also thickens up the lows. The set neck achieves an extraordinary amount of sustain. With its slim, sleek design and excellent low action, the guitar's neck produces a tight and warm tone with the maple offering a snappy attack with sizzling highs and firm lows.
Dual hi-gain single coil pickups and traditional sound hole
The Rickenbacker 330 is loaded with a set of high gain single coil pickups, offering a distinctive Rickenbacker sound which is accented by a traditional shaped soundhole. Producing a powerfully warm tone that features excess amounts of overdrive to give it a tremendous amounts of sustain, the pickups' high gain provides punch and thickness to the tone, providing an excellent midrange and plenty of volume. The neck pickup delivers the perfect amount of girth and sustain for when you need raw power, whilst the bridge pickup provides a clean tone with a sixties style for times when clarity is needed. When used together, they produce an incredible amount of Rickenbacker's distinctive jangly tone with a beautiful resonance.
