"A very cool 3-pickup shortscale guitar with a 20,75" scale,a one-piece maple neck with an unbound, 21-fret, lacquer-finished rosewood fretboard, three “toaster” single-coil pickups, a hollow maple body, f-hole, and Ac’cent vibrato tailpiece. Some fret wear, the pickguard has been signed by Roger McQuinn of the Byrds (the signature says To Rolf from Roger McQuinn) but in 1997 the previous owner ordered a new upper pickguard and tremolo arm for the guitar directly from John C. Hall of Rickenbacker, President of Rickenbacker (signed correspondence included) so these are also included. The lower pickguard has been cracked and been glued back together.
The model 1996 RM was imported 1964-1967 by a the brittish importer Rose Morris and is a 3/4 size built similarly to the US model 325. The 1996 RM was also later reissued in 2006 as a special order, closely connected to among others John Lennon and the Beatles as these models were one of his go-to guitars during the Ed Sullivan Show and Saturday Evening Post-era, but also used by John Fogerty and others.
Original Kluson Deluxe tuners, worn finish on the edges of the body and some belt buckle wear. John Lennons original model 1996 with serial number DE519 (May of 1964) from Ringo Starrs collection was sold at an auction at Julien´s Auctions in 2005 for 910000USD, this guitar is DG875 and was made 2 months later, and can be had at a fraction of the cost of Ringos guitar.
