Rickenbacker 330 Fireglo

The Rickenbacker 330 in classic Forego is an icon with a unique character that has inspired generations of musicians. With its semi-hollow construction and distinctive jangling tone, this guitar delivers exactly the sound you instantly recognize from countless hits, from The Beatles to R.E.M.

Rickenbacker introduced the 330 in 1958 as part of their Capri series, and the model grew to become one of the most recognizable guitars in rock history. The semi-hollow construction with the distinctive triangular sound holes sets the 330 apart from traditional guitars, while the compact body and short scale length provide a unique playing experience. 

Made famous by guitarists such as John Lennon, George Harrison, Johnny Marr and later Peter Buck of R.E.M., the 330 has left an indelible mark on genres from rock to jangle pop. The distinctive “jangle” comes from the combination of the semi-hollow body, the specific pickup placement, and Rickenbacker's own electronic configuration.

The Rickenbacker 330 plays like no other instrument, with a neck profile, that fits comfortably in your hand and a responsiveness that conveys every nuance of your playing technique. The unique control system with two volume and tone knobs plus a blend knob allows you to seamlessly blend both pickups, resulting in a wide range of tonal possibilities. From the characteristic bright, chiming tones to warmer, fuller sounds for chord work, this 330 in timeless Fireglo is ready to bring your musical vision to life and comes in a hardshell case with its TFOA passport.
