Did John ever use his Rose-Morris Ricky 325 Fireglo that was given to him in 1965?
Does any know what happened to it?

His "Miami" model 325, his second one, had a damaged headstock and when it was sent in for repairs he used the Rose Morris model as a stand in. In the studio, his Morris model served as a back up. I think it still survives.

Tom;
The answer to your question is Yes! John did indeed your the 325S Fire-glo Rose-Morris model. The picture you have probably seen (like most of us) with John holding a cigarette and his harmonica holder is the 325S.
Also if you watch The Anthology series Vol. 4 (I believe) there are vidio clips of John using the 325S on stage.
What happened to it? Who knows...
