1966 Rickenbacker 330/12

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1966 Rickenbacker 330/12.

In many ways, this guitar is the sound of the ’60s. From its shimmering chime and articulate attack to its Fireglo finish and instantly recognizable cutaways, this 1966 330/12 captures the musical character of the decade almost perfectly. It’s the kind of instrument that needs very little explanation: one chord and you’re there.

Cosmetically, it presents in excellent condition, with well below-average wear throughout. Structurally, it is in excellent shape, with no cracks, breaks, or repairs, and with the exception of a single replaced tuner (pictured) presents in all-original condition.

This 1966 Rickenbacker 330/12 comes complete with its original hardshell case.
