1990 Rickenbacker 330/12 modded with 60s Gibson P-90 Upgrade! Rickenbacker is one of the most revered names in the business. Iconic guitars and a no nonsense dedication to quality USA manufacturing define the company. This 330/12 is a cool guitar that has been modded for a killer look and sound. Read on. The neck through semi hollow body is maple with maple wings. This example has some nice figure on the back. The bound rosewood fingerboard features dot inlays. A set of Gibson P-90s (expensive pickups on the vintage market) were added at the neck and bridge position while what appears to be a Fender Jazzmaster pickup holds court in the middle. It sounds like a crazy mod but wait till you hear it. The P-90s offer great vibe and snarl for the 12 string sound cutting back on some of the "chop your head off" treble. Add in the middle pickup and you get a full, rich tone. The controls are simplified with a master volume and tone hooked to a 3 way switch and then an on/off for the middle pickup. Nothing fancy. The pickups are basically mounted without spacers.
