Just scored beautiful 325V59 in mapleglo. Rickenbackers are quite hard to find here in Finland. There are some used items at the market, but brand new are virtually impossible to find. Actually I have a funny story. A large music shop here in Helsinki placed an order for 5 guitars, 330’s and 360’s. Time went on and when the guitars arrived 4-5 years later, nobody at the store had no recollection of ordering them. So they were quite surprised.
Back to 325: price was more than ok when comparing to USA or Japan. Near mint condition, just have to change the strings and to do a setup. Then I’ll use my days off the best possible way: start playing The Beatles’ albums from Please Please me to Beatles for sale.
This on is my second Rickenbacker, the first one is a 6-stringer 360w (2014). And now I’m eagerlly waiting 360C63/12 to arrive from Germany. I think then I’m done with Rickenbackers and I’ll move on to Gretsches, starting with GH Duo Jet
A couple of pictures is available at register, just search for 325V59, 1997, mapleglo and Finland. I guarantee there won’t be too many matches
Happy springtime to all of you!
