GAS Attack! Picked up a 330/12

Post by mike_d »

I found this reasonably priced baby on the local craigslist. It's a standard Ric 330/12 in Fireglo from 2000. It's virtually unplayed and doesn't have a single scratch or ding. I've been looking for several weeks for one and finally found one. It plays and sounds great.

After looking up the serial number on the Ric website, the 330 is actually from May 1998, not 2000 as was advertised by the original owner. They must have purchased it in 2000.
