Description
What makes this guitar special: An exact replica of the modified 325 Capri John Lennon used on the first Ed Sullivan shows in '64. This cool 2003 model was "Lennonized" by replacing the original Kauffman vibrola with a Bigsby B5 & bowtie bridge, and swapping out the oven knobs for the silver Burns knobs. The hollow body is sculpted from solid Alder and features the gold nameplate & pickguard along with the original elongated jackplate. Professionally set up by our luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
Cosmetic Condition: A few nicks & chips along with various surface scratches, but pretty clean for the most part.
Neck: Nicely rounded alder neck with thick rosewood fingerboard & cream dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with no wear. Open-back Ric-Tite tuners are in perfect working condition. 1.65" nut width; 20.75" scale length. Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard. Not to mention, it stays in tune!
Body: Hollow alder body with gold plexi pickguard. Bigsby tremolo tailpiece & compensated bridge. Guitar weighs 5 lbs 6.8 oz.
Pickups: Three vintage style single coil "toaster tops". Dual volume & tone controls with 3-way toggle switch.
Case: Original hardshell case included along with Rickenbacker care & maintenance manual.
