It was designed by the German luthier Roger Rossmeisl. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 330 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 330 also features a body with Rickenbacker's \"crescent moon\" double-cutaway shape with sharp, unbound edges, and an \"R\"-shaped trapeze tailpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne idiosyncrasy of the guitar is its dual truss rods, which allow for the correction of problematic and unwanted twists, as well as curvature, of the guitar's neck. The 330 is equipped with a mono jack plate, lacking the Rick-O-Sound stereo functionality of other Rickenbacker models such as the Rickenbacker 360.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese iconic guitars, with their distinctive looks and jangly tones, have found their way into the hands of the Who to R.E.M., Jimmy Page to Tom Petty, the Smiths to Radiohead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaple's density is partly responsible for the 330's famous sustain and top-end jangle and shimmer. Maple is also very stable, aiding in maintaining the structural integrity of the neck. The thick rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth and harmonic richness to this otherwise bright instrument. Dot inlays give it the traditional 330 look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe heart and soul of all Rickenbackers are their proprietary electronics. In the 330 you'll find a pair of Hi-gain single-coils. These pickups deliver the bright, clean tone of many other single-coils, but with an aggressive cut that has driven so many rhythm and lead guitar tracks through the decades. A 5-knob control layout with \"blend\" knob gives you a wide range of sounds to play with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Features -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSemi-hollowbody\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e330 Thinline\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaple\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Gloss Polyester\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColour \u003c\/strong\u003eFire\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eglo\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaple\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eU\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Joint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSet Neck\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRadius\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFingerboard Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFingerboard Inlay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDots\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNumber of Frets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNut Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e629\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBakelite\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge\/Tailpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRickenbacker 6-Saddle Bridge with \"R\" Trapeze Tailpiece\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTuners\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSchaller machine heads\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHi-gain Single-coil\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge Pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHi-gain Single-coil\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 x volume, 2 x tone, 1 x mix control\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwitching\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3-way toggle pickup switch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis one features a bright Fireglo finish which remains in excellent condition.
