Actually, it arrived in August... but never got around to showing it off!

Happy to join the Rick Family!

In great shape... Lambert Loomed... pleased as punch.

Intonation is fine, but any tips on adjusting (when the time comes that it's needed)? Am used to my Gretsch and haven't worked with a bow tie bridge before.

Thx!

...and no, I don't play it through that Orange.

Wowza! Nice.

I just got myself a Miami 325c64. Just curious, why did you go for the '58 over the '64?

Both guitars look great! Like the Lennon mods on the '58!

Thanks Tommy! That C64 looks pretty sweet too.

Went with the C58 because it's simply a guitar I always wanted to own. Probably might have considered a C64 if the right deal came around, but I finally found myself with the chance of acquiring C58 in stellar condition from a seller who had an amazing eye to getting the Lennon mods right. It was an opportunity I couldn't refuse!

Haven't been disappointed at all. It plays the way I hoped and am thrilled to join the Ric family.

How have you been enjoying the 64?

... Hey Clifton, thanks for the thumbs up!

Congrats Billy! Nice to see another RIC in Ontario...

Ah, the fact that Lennon mods were already done and done well on your guitar would make the choice between the '58 and '64 a simpler one.

I went with the '64 because in my mind that is the 325 I associate Lennon with. Mainly because of the movies. Glad I got her. Was a dream guitar I never, ever thought I would own. Price was right, got some birthday gift money, asked myself, "If I don't get her now, when will it ever happen?"

She's definitely different, but I am only a rhythm guitarist so the guitar suits me well. I like the crisp sound. I like the feel of the tiny guitar. It is definitely a fun thing to play.

I like your '58 a lot. Heck, I like my '64 a lot. Both are incredibly striking (and iconic) guitars. Can't go wrong with either one, really. Good luck with yours.
