I bought it used at the local Guitar Center a few years ago. I had it restrung recently and am now using it more than ever before. I am glad I did because this guitar produces the perfect 12 string tone, the same tone that Rickenbacker fans have come to know. The neck is perfect for those with smaller hands like me. I love this guitar. The only thing I would change is having the famous "toaster oven" pickups over the stock ones this guitar has. They sound a little flatter than the "toaster ovens" but still sound amazing. All in all, a great 12 string!

Hey I gotta tell you, the verdict is in. This thing is like butter. The new strings are set now and its holding its tune. Im playing into Guitar Rig threw headphones because I really want to hear whats going on. First off right out of the case, its set up real nice. Not one buzz of a string or hum, nothing. The tone is phenominal. I can't believe the harmonics and the tones it gets out. You know how a good accustic 12 will get thoses cool harmonic mids and highs. Well this thing really gets them good. Sometimes its sounds like theres a hammond organ in the distance. Friggin unreal. They say its the maple, the construction and the way it's cut out on top that gets that famous ring tone. The only thing I don't like so far is that where a would normaly rest my hand, on top of the bridge, I would be able to to dampen the strings with my wrist. This has a very thin removable string cover there so I rest it on that. Your really not suppose to dampen the strings anyway. your suppose to let it ring out.  maybe I will take it off its not a big deal. A non issue.  It came without a scratch too and a very nice hard case. Good quality. I play guitars probably two to three hours a day so I'll get use to it real fast. Im almost there now after around 2 hours. So, All and all I have to give the Ric 330/12 and A+.

Nothing like it

I've had my Ric 12 for about 5 years now.  Nothing can take it's place.  Swapped out the hi-gain pickups for some toaster tops and then it was way better.  ***Use Ric 12 string packs!***  There's a reason - they are made differently - the inner core is smaller and creates less tension on the neck.  If you swap out to another brand you'll have to intonate and do truss-rod adjustments. I don't work for Ric but I have learned this much.  Just sharing what I know.

I bought a 1998 model 330/12 in fireglow in September 1998 (manufactured June 1998) and have been very happy with it.  I had to adjust the truss rods one time and overall i would give it 10 stars on every catagory if it had come with individual adjustable saddles for every string, but even so, there is no noticable problem with intonation variable from the nut to beyond the 12th fret.  I believe that RIC makes their own pickups and these are equiped with the single coil type that deliver good jingle-jangle vintage sound. Pickups are also adjustable for spacing to the strings.  If you have fat fingers, don't buy  it.

The One True Sound

Rickenbackers are the last of the classic American electric guitars- still built here, with no company approved Asian clones. Every Rickenbacker is a real Rickenbacker.  Quality is absolutely first rate on my 33/12, and on every one I've seen, without so much as a lacquer drip seen. Perfect fit and finish. Some prefer the fancier 360- and it doesn't cost that much more, really- but I like the unbound neck and slightly more acoustic body of the 330 series. If you want that real, authentic, jangley Roger McGuinn-George Harrison 12 string sound, the only way to get it is with a hollow body Rickenbacker and Rickenbacker or Pyramid strings. I first lusted after one when I heard a friend play his way back in middle school in 1968; he still has his, and now I have mine, too.
