The Model 325C58
Moderators: rickenbrother, ajish4
There would appear to be a limited number of 325C58 Lefties out there. The photo below was spotted at Southpaw Guitars
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

John: Ha. I wondered about this John as I didn't recall a lefty 325C58, however, one never knows for sure. Thanks for the reminder.

Greg,
Thanks for that info, however reliable it may be till we actually get to try them ourselves when they Do come out.I was just curious as to What they used to model the shape after.I'm more interested in the 360-12 C than the Lennon models, so it will be interesting to see/feel the neck on that one.For me, at least, my ideas as to what constitutes a "classic" Rick neck,is based on particular necks I've had on models I've owned.
'65 s had a certain feel unlike others, probably my favorite. My current '67 is great also, but doesnt feel exactly like the '65. And my very 1st Rick 12, from '68, was different again.All of them were great, but all were different.And having worked in the old Rick woodshop and seeing just How the necks were done at the time, went a long way towards explaining why the differences
occured.More uniform consistency of shape can be acheived now at Rick, with the CNC machines, than in the old days, which is not to say that the final product from back then was bad by any means.
Just a different[and more efficient]way of doing it.

The profile was laser scanned to be identical to the original 58 that I own. The CNC programs for this model will consistently replicate that shape every time and we're sanding them very carefully to avoid any noticeable changes.
The head has a very crisp edge, identical again to my instrument and as observed on the Lennon Museum unit.
