I always did like a RIC with a Bixby. For God's sake's the name is right on the vibrato.

All kidding aside, this is a very early 325v59. The warranty card, manual, and genuine Klusons (those are certainly not S Deluxes but real Klusons) give this away as an early example..'84 or '85 at latest. This is good stuff!

The photos of the tailpiece aren't real clear. Maybe it's a fake Bigsby... :wink:

Don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

It looks to have a full scale neck. Would that not be a 325, but a 350 or 355?

Pretty sure that's a 325. A 350/355 would also have double dot inlays at the 12th fret, I believe.
