Feels Like the First Chime
The Rickenbacker 330 is one of the most iconic electric guitar designs of all time. Designed by renowned German luthier Roger Rossmeisl, the 330 quickly caught on among all the cool cats in the British music scene '60s, including one small indie band that achieved moderate success called the Beatles.
Buoyed by the Beatles superstardom, Rickenbackers became the guitar of choice for every Mod with a jean jacket. One of these mods, a young lad with an appetite for six-string destruction named Pete Townshend, played a 330 at a few big gigs with The Who and cemented its place in British music history.
By the time the eighties had rolled around, a new generation of guitar heroes whose ranks included Paul Waller of The Jam and Johnny Marr of the Smiths adopted the 330 as their ax of choice. Nowadays, modern six-string slingers like Laura Jane Grace keep the tradition alive by playing 330s all over the globe.
