- V91 refinished in Jetglo with changed parts. ebay 221240112559
1958 Rickenbacker 325 One of the rarest electric guitars in the world! The exact year, make and model of John Lennon’s 1st Rickenbacker as used on The Beatle’s first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. This is a very rare two control model probably made in the same batch as John’s. There were only 28 made that year !! This guitar’s serial number is 10 away from John’s V81! The Rick 325 has a 2” deep body and is a 3 toaster top pickup model with the original Rickenbacker Kaufman Vibrola and Grover Sta-tite Tuners. The TRC was replaced with a Rickenbacker factory gold replacement. A pot and resistor were replaced but the originals are still in the case. The guitar has been refinished in Black (as was Lennon’s) by highly respected former Rickenbacker employee and luthier Dale Fortune. Nice OHSC is included. I will also include the ultra-rare original 1958 Rickenbacker brochure and a full box of vintage, era correct Rickenbacker strings.
