The photos on this page
are from the period after John Lennon had his Natural 325 refinished to black. The refinishing took place in
the fall of 1962, perhaps in an attempt to create uniformity in the look of the Beatles with regard to their dark suits and instruments.
These photos point to wear on the edges of the body and the headstock. A more detailed analysis of who refinished Lennon's first Rickenbacker
and when can be seen by clickling on the "325 Refinish" link in the above photo. |
