Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.
Experience the unique chime and shimmer of this Rickenbacker 330W, a semi-acoustic icon with an instantly recognizable voice. Its beautiful walnut body, paired with a neck of maple and walnut, provides a rich, resonant tone that sings with the iconic sparkle of its Hi-gain pickups. The 24 ¾-inch scale and 10-inch radius make for fast, fluid playability that’s utterly addictive. We’ve given this guitar precise luthier attention, ensuring it's not just a gorgeous investment with its classic "R" tailpiece, but a supremely playable instrument that's ready to rock! This is a truly spectacular guitar, with a tone and feel that absolutely does not suck!
From Rickenbacker
A natural spin on a classic, the W Series brings the same full, rich and warm sound that have made 330’s popular since the 1960’s. The iconic design is now strengthened with the natural character of walnut and polished with an oil finish. Two single coil pickups on a full size body are accented by a traditionally shaped sound hole. The 21 fret Maple fingerboard is punctuated by dot inlay fret markers, with full double cutaways permitting access to all the frets. Standard output is monaural through a single jack plate.
