Many of you guys are very good and Ric ID-ing, much better than me. So what guitar is John playing here?

Seems to be JF's 325...don't know the year. He had a thing for short scale guitars for awhile--he had a LesPaul with a shortened neck, too, in early days. JF added the Bigsby and humbucker bridge pickup, according to what I've read.

Looks like a RM1996FG to me. If you look about 2:07 in you'll clearly see the famous f-hole.

I believe this is what he is playing.

By the way, if you don't have the Premonition DVD, go buy it. A tutorial on how to perform. He even plays a baseball bat.

Did they make them with f-holes for the american market?

Oh man, he routed it for a humbucker?!

Humbuckers = Awesome

Rickenbacker = Awesome

So naturally, the addition of these things must also be awesome.

Well, I like ice cream and sauerkraut, but not on the same plate

I like the way you think! Well played!

Kira, 320s and 325s for the American market were made both with and without F holes.

The pic Peter posted is the geetar in question, fer sure.

The f holes on a 325 were a lot less common, but they do exist.

I thought it was the other way around... almost all 325's I've seen for sale from post-64 had F-holes...

Sorta what I thought. Glen Lambert's 325 Connection with a number of '65-'69 325's displayed, shows all but one with an F hole.
