One of Rickenbacker's most popular models, the semi-hollowbody 330 stormed onto the scene in the '50s and brought with it a jangly tone that would help define pop music for a decade. Like most Rickenbackers, the 330's popularity was propelled by the Beatles (though George's most iconic Rickenbacker was actually a 360-12). The 330 remains in production and has been cited as the maker's current most popular guitar.
