Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this Minty! 2001 Rickenbacker 330 Color of the Year Electric Guitar finished in the highly sought-after Desert Gold. Produced as Rickenbacker’s exclusive 2001 Color of the Year, Desert Gold is one of the company’s rarest and most collectible finishes. Combined with the timeless 330 semi-hollow design, this limited-production instrument offers the unmistakable jangle, chime, and articulation that have made Rickenbacker guitars legendary in rock, pop, and alternative music.
The semi-hollow Maple body delivers outstanding resonance and clarity, while the pair of Rickenbacker Hi-Gain pickups produce everything from sparkling cleans to rich, cutting overdrive. The slim neck and iconic body shape make the 330 exceptionally comfortable to play, whether you’re laying down jangly rhythm parts or articulate lead lines.
Finished in the stunning Desert Gold, this rare Color of the Year model is a standout addition to any collection. With relatively few produced, these guitars are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in such well-preserved condition.
This guitar is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC).
Condition: 9.9/10 – Excellent. Minty condition with only a small blemish on the upper horn. There is also some finish checking around the perimeter of the rear cap, a cosmetic characteristic that is not uncommon on Rickenbackers of this era. Otherwise, this guitar is exceptionally clean and beautifully preserved.
