Lucky guy, John Simmons will have it in his hands (temporarily!) this Sunday.
This is...big. All original...two serial numbers away from Lennon's.
Better photos to follow.....

A big CONGRATS to you, John.
Very cool. And original case, too.
You've got to tell us the story of how you tracked this one down.

Oh my.
Congrats John, that is amazing. Impressive to own a pair of '58 325s and even more amazing to own two of the first ten made. Couldn't be at a better home either!

P.s. +1 to what Ron said - I just know there's a good hunting story on this one - spill it!

'Temporarily' he says.......heh heh heh.......
Once I take delivery of this guitar, I will be going into the Federal Witness Protection Program..nice knowing you all.
If you want to write, you can send mail c/o of Box RRF 325, Podunk, Pennsyltucky.
I'll send an autographed pic of the guitar.

All kidding aside, in these pics that John posted, you are looking at the earliest original and unaltered Rickenbacker 325 still in existance.
For the Beatle enthusiasts reading, that means just like John's as it came off of the assembly table.

I will give you 5,000 of your American dollars for this guitar! LOL
Wish I was a fly on the wall when you play through the early Beatles repertoire.
PS......I still can't believe you picked it up from that old lady for $1500....shame on you!
