Hey Andy welcome to the group!I also have just been playing guitar for a few months(not counting my first attempt 40 years ago).Since my interest in guitars was reawakened about a year ago when I found a used Crate amp at a thrift store for $50 and decided that I needed a guitar to go with it,I have bought and sold about 25 guitars.I had 4 strats,3 teles,4 SGs,1 Les Paul and a Epiphone Sheriton II to name a few.I also had 4 Ricks a 325C58JG,a 340VPFG,a 325v63 and a 330JG.Now I just have 2 Ricks the 325v63 and the 330.At first I liked the 325 better because it is small and light and sounds really good with overdrive but now I like the 330 better because it has a "big" sound and I think that it is easier to play now that I have gotten used to it.The 330 is really my main guitar now and I may actually sell my 325 because even though it is my "dream guitar"I really can't afford to keep it.Also as someone just trying to learn to play I find it difficult to go back and forth between the 2 guitars and would rather spend the time learning to play my 330.So anyway I just wanted to say that I think the the 330 is an excellent choice for your ist guitar.One other thing asked about the G-Dec.I had one and it seemed like a cool idea because you can jam with it ,but I don't think the amp sounds that good.You are better off getting a nice Vox amp.I have a Pathfinder 10 which costs about $70 new and I love it.

Exellent walk-through Mitch and another vote for the Model 330 it would seem.

Peter your guitar is nothing short of spectacular. There are many gorgeous Rickenbackers, but none I've seen surpasses yours. I really love MB, but yours almost seems a slightly different MB...

Hey Mitch,
Thanks for the info. It looks like a 330 is it amd thanks for the additional info on the G-Deck. It did seem like a good idea.
I am playing a yamaha acoustic I got at Guitar Center for $200 and it seems to be really hard to play.
One question if you don't mind?
Why so many guitars?
Thanks again for the info.
Andy

Andy I think that you will find the Rick 330 easier to play than your Yamaha acoustic.I bought all those guitars because I wanted to try everything.After trying them all I like Ricks best.Now I have 3 guitars,the 2 Ricks and a MIM Fender Duo-Sonic RI.Thats my "beater".Anyway post a pic when you get your guitar.
