Ric 330, Jetglo, made in USA 1991. Is there a cooler looking stage guitar than a Ric? It's surely a contender for the most stylish rock and roll guitar going around. This one dates to 1991 and it's definitely been played; there's a bit of natural wear to prove it's no case-queen. As such, it's extremely resonant: lively and loud unplugged, warm, rich and full when plugged in. The Hi Gain single coil pickups get along well with drives and fuzzes; there's plenty of definition and sparkle on tap to cut through a mix. The neck is surprisingly comfy; not too thick or thin and pretty easy to get used to. The original case is decked out in outrageous silver tolex and blessed with a mic-and-sickle stencil from a previous owner; a cool nod to a colourful past. These don't come up used in Australia very often, so if you've always wanted one, here's your shot at glory.
