Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo 1990

Cool 1990 Rickenbacker 330 in Jetglo finish with black hardware, making an already cool Rick into a rare cool Rick!  This guitar has seen plenty of jangle, evident in the well-earned wear throughout, but it has no major dings and no structural issues. Weight is a very light 3300g. Comes with original Rickenbacker hardshell case in good condition, along with its original case candy, adding to its collectible appeal.

The Rickenbacker 330 is a quintessential semi-hollow body guitar that has become synonymous with jangly tones and chiming chords, defining entire musical movements. Introduced in the late 1950s, the 330 was part of the Capri series, which combined innovative design with a focus on playability. Its distinctive body shape, dual cutaways, and iconic crescent moon soundhole made it instantly recognizable.

Over the decades, the 330 became a staple for artists across genres, most notably during the British Invasion and the rise of jangle pop. Legendary players like The Beatles’ John Lennon (notably using a 325), The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn, and R.E.M.’s Peter Buck helped cement Rickenbacker’s legacy and the 330’s role in shaping rock music.

This 330 captures the timeless Rickenbacker sound and look, enhanced by its rare black hardware, making it an exceptional addition to any player or collector’s arsenal.
