That should not be a concern, a vintage 330 can be set up just as well as a new one.filoviola wrote:...also a bit worried about how a 67 guitar can be easily setup, concerning tuning stability and trussrod adjustment...

Re: are actual 330 ok?
But a vintage thing (not just guitars!) needs every time a bit more of care.
On the other side a new thing never has got the mojo of a vintage one.
The choice between "much new" or "much mojo" depends in the from personal preferences, too.

Yeah, and when the new thing becomes vintage it will need more care, too, but not necessarily any mojo.Hotzenplotz wrote:But a vintage thing (not just guitars!) needs every time a bit more of care.

Hmmm, good point!

And you once said you found the PT to be similar to that?doctorwho wrote:I agree with what Jason says. I find the more recent 330 neck profile to be a bit "thicker" in shape and size compared to, for example, my 1966 model 340.

IIRC, the latest 330 profile is slimmer, yes? Anyone have a 2010 or 2011 330 who can confirm this?
It's a slightly different animal, but I played an `11 330/12 when Aitch was in town for S.C.A.R.F. and the neck seemed quite slim in the shallow sense. I found it a pleasantly surprising contrast to my `91 381/12, which also has a nice neck, just a slightly different shape-maybe not as wide, but slightly deeper.

There is no reason to ever be bored.

The measure is 41,4mm at nut, exact the way it is written on the Rickenbacker homepage. A small neck, but deep, too. Well, my hands are not small, but this actual neck offers a long lasting left hand for ours. I can play three or more ours without any trouble with the left hand.
And it is fast and easy to play because the strings are close together. I can not get enough of this.
I know a lot of flat Ibanez necks I start to dislike after 20 minutes.
