New owner and thanks!
Hi,
I got a Monty Brown 330 this weekend second hand and was having a few issues with it e.g top e string volume, ringing g string etc. Never really had to setup a guitar before, but I searched through the archives on here and read the manual thoroughly to get the confidence to play with the allen key and screwdriver and now it sounds absolutely amazing! Not rocket science I guess to raise the action a bit and lean the pickups.
Anyway, here's some photos of my prized possession that I have been craving for for about 20 years! I'm not sure I've spoken to the wife since I got it.

So thanks again to all the archive posters!
Cheers,
Martin

Welcome to the forum. Glad you found the archives helpful.
Re: New owner and thanks!
Martin, welcome.
When the kitchen remodeling is finished she'll be too wound up to notice your new guitar
It's not just the wives; my boyfried gives me that same expression every time he sees me look at a new guitar

If you ever come over to Melbourne it's yours exclusively for the duration.
Even though it doesn't look the same these days here's a small reminder. Front of the class, too!!
Welcome, Martin.......... hope you get heaps of enjoyment from the 330!

Hey, Aitch, I actually plan a trip to Oz in the near future. I'll take you up on your invite...just don't turn your back.
Boy, the one on the far left is a damn fine lookin' 330! Mr. W did an outstanding mod.

Beautiful guitar, Martin. Welcome to the forum!
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS!

That one on the right looks kinda familiar too.

Welcome, Martin, and congrats on the beautiful 330 MB!

Re: New owner and thanks!
Toescantalk.......Welcome aboard the canteen. Dig your monicker, man. Dig your sublime 330/6 MB, too. Props to you on your new acquisition as MBs aren't too readily available these days. Good fortune visited you. There are more than a few knowledgeable folks on this forum to guide you on this journey of discovery. Best regards.......Goofyfoot.
Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.

Thanks for the welcomes.
Yep, I was struggling to make my mind up between Jetglo and Fireglo and then saw a picture of my MB for sale online and that was the one!
Cheers,
Martin
