Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I was on the www.wildwoodguitars.com page, and saw this as a "just in" Ricky! They also have a sweet Jetglo 360/12v64.

Nice. Full routes on the headstock. The very first production RIC done up this way was also a Montezuma Brown 330/12.

I just came across this forum and ironically also bought this very 330 12 montezuma brown last night from wildwood. cant wait to get it as its my first rick, my fav color and the guitar i have wanted since i was 13 years old. ill post my thoughts about it once it arrives.

Welcome to the forum from 'The Land Down Under', Scott. This is a great place to hang out.

I absolutely love Montezuma Brown and have a 330/6 MB waiting for me in San Francisco.... roll on August!!

Congratulations of your purchase, Scott!

Welcome to the forum Scott. What a great way to jump in...with a new 330!

thanks for the welcome. i got the guitar from Wildwood and am amazed. i have always appreciated these gutiars, and, wanted one. now that i have one im very happy. this color is amazing and it came set up perfectly. i have not noticed any intonation problems with the factory strings and 6- string bridge, nor have i noticed any difficulty playing chords in the open position. i do have small fingers however. i love this guitar. i play it in stereo through a fender deluxe reverb and a vintage Kustom 50 (which ususally sounds terrible with other guitars) and about 15 pedals. sounds awsome, even through a rat distortion pedal. i also have a 1990 PRS, an american Strat and a Santa Cruz 12-fret acoustic with a sunrise pick-up. This Rick is what ill be playing most over the next year i suspect, as it is more inspiring than any instrument i have ever played and certainly capable of more than just a Byrds-sound.. i got the toaster pick-ups but as of now see no reason to re-wire them whatsoever. they sound awsome to me and i have no desire to make it sound more like george harrison's guitar. these pickups are more responsive than any guitar i have owned. they seem to be alive. they have an awsome bite and crackle with energy. as for Wildwood guitars...i would recommend them. i ordered the guitar without playing it. it came in 3 days, in perfect mint condition..except for a tiny little dimple between the two pickups that was described to me by the store..and discounted $50. i could hardly find the imperfection and could care less as i will no doubt have this guitar filled with scratches and dents in a matter of days from playing it constantly.

Congrats, and welcome, Scott!

My very first Ric was a 330 six-string, too....wonderful guitar. You will love playing your Ric so much that if you're like some of us you will soon find that one is not enough, LOL!
