With a Pro Junior and occasionally a RAT, and I'm finding that this guitar is suitable for Rock, Soul, Psych, and Blues. Also Country!

Absolutely! Especially with Higains. I use my old 330 (with modern Higains) for everything.

After years of being a case queen, my 330 is back at the #1 spot for me. I ditched the original Hi-Gains and went with a scatterwound toaster at the bridge and a Firebird 'bucker at the neck. The mud is GONE!

Yuppers Mitch! I've been saying for years that the 300 series (and other Ric guitars & basses for that matter) are anything but one-trick ponies. I did an audition for a band last year with my last 360, and the music was anything but jangly stuff. I got great compliments on my guitar sound - nice and hard hitting, while not sounding like your typical Gibson or Fender!

Rics can crunch with the best of them IMO - just quit treating them like a Gibson or a Fender, when it comes to amp settings.

I am selling a 330 Desert Gold to a friend, and he has voiced his utter astonishment of how wide the range of sound can be from it, sounding bluesy or Tele-ish, etc. 8)

Guess it's time to do new album featuring your AZ 330, Mitch! I'm sure you have the material....I hope you have the material! Bring back Let's Active!!!
