COMPARISON OF A 325V59 & A 58C SERIES RICK
To Nick Thiel
Nick, I just recently bought a 325v59 and noticed that everyone is trying to customize their v59s into Lennon specs. Can you tell me what the difference is if any on the body and sound of the v59s and the 58c series? Also when I got my guitar there was lacquer all up and down the neck.
Can you tell me why Rickenbacker put this on these type guitars? Just recently I bought a bow-tie bridge and knobs from Jetglow. Besides the Cavern style jack-plate what else do I need to put on my v59 to make it just like the one John Lennon used on the first Ed Sullivan show? Please help me I'm desperate.

Just go to my site.....www.jetglow.com and go to the conversion tips page......I'm sure Nick can help as well. Oh...you might want to ask Tuck Hersey or Keith Sharp as well.
You can also try this old thread posted in Vox Talks, it also has some pics of Lennon's guitar in it's various stages:

There are a few more details contained within it. For some reason Wes left some of the details out when he copied this stuff from Vox Talks for the "conversion tips" page on his website.
Hope this helps Joey.

Actually after a quick scan of the thread....it pretty much looks the same...I'll have to compare them when I get home. Check out http://www.beatgearcavern.com
