Tom also has a 60's fireglo 425. He has played it live the last two US tours.

The speaker alone is worth $300.

Anyone try the EBS Multi Comp?

My understanding is that the C58 was designed to be a faithful recreation of how Lennon first received his 1958 325 factory s...

I have a close up of Lennon's '58 325 V81 tail today that shows a centered end pin. You can also see the old tail plate holes that show it was a taller plate.
