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.

Humbuckers = Awesome
Rickenbacker = Awesome
So naturally, the addition of these things must also be awesome.

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.
