This was my first Rickenbacker, bought way back in 1993. I had to wait months for this to be built. The 320 takes some getting used to. It is an excellent rhythm guitar, though you might find it lacks the top-end of a 330 or 350, it will lose a lot of its mid in the mix. 320s can be used for lead, but the mandolin-like neck will impede any excursions up the "dusty end".
