I just bought my first Rick on ebay. It's a 2008 330 in JG. This is the guitar that I have been wanting forever and a day. I'm excited! I'll post photos when it arrives.

until then:

I also got 8% off with an ebay coupon, so I think I made out ok.

Final price out of pocket was $1,138.14, after discount. And its already been shipped out, it's due on Thursday. Can't wait!

Is the form fitting case more secure than a vintage-style case?

egosheep.......Props comin' your way for scoring your new 330/6 JG. Welcome also to the canteen --- glad to have you on board. After the beaut arrives and you have a chance to get acquainted with it, tell us how that "bullet" tastes. As far as which style case is more secure, it's a toss-up for me. I have both molded and vintage cases. I'd probably lean towards the molded case in terms of offering a skosh more protection. The vintage case looks sharp, though. Six of one and half-dozen of the other, IMHO. Whatever floats your boat is cool with me. Keep on keepin' on.......Goofyfoot.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!

Ok, I haven't even opened the case yet, and I'm already hearing this voice telling me I need a 12 string... is this normal?

Yup. It's normal. I've heard voices saying I need a 4003 bass, and a Rick lap steel. It's called RAS (Rickenbacker Acquisition Syndrome). And they tell me it's incurable. I think you have it already.

yep, just keep doing what they tell you to (usually opening your wallet and then cracking a wide grin).

Nice guitar! Something about the cool simplicity of a JG 330 gets me every time, congrats and welcome to the club.
