New 330 owner, thought I'd better say hello!

Hi all, I fulfilled a long time dream on Thursday by purchasing a 1987 Rickie 330 in jetglo. I still can't believe that I own one! It's the exact guitar I've wanted. I had just mentioned a few days before to a friend who was borrowing my topboost for recording that it would be a shame for me to sell the amp(I was considering letting my 1963 rear panel top boost go) without completing the dream of having a Rickenbacker and Vox AC30 together. And then there it is in the classified ads... and just a few blocks away! It's presently strung with .010's and I really love the action. It's amazing and doesn't buzz. The guitar has some chips in the paint which my dear wife will touch up with her steady hands, other than that it plays wonderfully. Production date is Jan. '87. Are there any issues I should be concerned about with this era of 330?
It certainly has inspired my song writing again and the the Vox and my Fender Blues Junior are producing wonderful as of late. I will be a little short of funds for a while, but entirely worth the pain for the gain!
Anyway, I look forward to reading the messageboard often.
