Yep, it won't cover those front two holes...at least you've got an easy color to touch up!

Is it important for You to keep THIS guitar?

Maybe someone is looking for a 325 Bigsby and there is a plain 325C64 around? Maybe a deal without asset erosion could be better, maybe in $, too?

I had this guitar for many years, i do want to keep it and make it look as close as possible to a 325 C64. I'm also looking for a set of 3 toaster pickups. If anyone has them in good condition for sale, let me know. Cheers :)

One more question guys. Did John Lennon countersunk the pickguard screw holes on his 1958 325? As we all know, his 58 325 had a single ply gold pickguard, but were the screws countersunk? Thanks

It was single pickguard. The screws were MISSING at times, but never countersunk.

Thanks for all the replies guys. You guys are great and helpful! I've loved The Beatles and John Lennon since i was 5 years old. I like Rickenbacker guitars as well but don't have much experience with them as i mostly play the Les Paul and SG. One more question to ask, i've seen many pictures of the 325 V63 and C64 online, i've noticed that under the pickups, some of them has rubber mounting grommets and some has foam mounting pads, so which is which guys? Which one is the accurate one that came with the v63 and C64? Thanks a million guys! :D
