1990 Rickenbacker 330/12

It's a rare black hardware 330/12!
Plays great, sounds great, looks great!
There's a bit of buckle rash although minor, a few very small scratches here and there and this guitar has been used but it's not been abused.
The dark blue against the amber neck and the black hardware is a super cool look.

Being a 330 this does NOT have the Ric O Sound second output. It does however sound phenomenal.

If you are looking for a signature sound and want to make a strong visual statement doing it, this might be the guitar for you.

From Rickenbacker's website:
Basically the same as the Rickenbacker Model 330 but with twelve strings. Careful acoustic research has resulted in the full, rich and warm sound of this popular model. Two single coil pickups on a full size body are accented by a traditionally shaped sound hole. The 24 fret Rosewood 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.
Includes original hardshell case.

Not generally a Ric fan, and I have no real use for a 12-string, but, dammit, that one is SMOKING!
 
Gawd dammit.

Stop!

I just saw facebook post from Ian McNabb (Icicle Works) wherein he is selling his 360 12 string.

I had just talked myself off the ledge.

Fuck.

I like Ricks, but I've never cared for the 330. Something about the body shape I just don't like.

The blue finish and the black hardware doesn't work for me, either. Black or the red sunburst with chrome hardware would look much better.
 
I'm not really feeling the black hardware or the blue paint job. Makes this one look like an 80's reject.

But it's a Ric, so it's got that going for it.
 
At first look, I wasn't a fan of the blue color, but then I saw the close up of the headstock, and thought there might be something to that blue that wasn't easily seen in a pic. If it was on the wall at my local music store, I'd have a go.
 
Was Rickenbacker doing well with these? The only Rics I remember from the 80s and early 90s are the vintage guitars used by Tom Petty, jangle pop bands, and punks.
