Description
What makes this guitar special: This discontinued model is an exact replica of the 1958 325 John Lennon first purchased in Hamburg. A gorgeous hollow-body guitar sculpted from solid Alder, featuring gold nameplate & pickguard, gold-on-brown 'TV' knobs, an elongated jack plate, and Kauffman Vibrola, the 325C58 precisely replicates every detail of the 1958 Model 325. The previous owner replaced the Kauffman vibrola with a Bigsby to make it more like Lennon's. However, the original Kauffman is included with the guitar.
Cosmetic Condition: Very good condition overall with some smaller chips & dents along with various surface scratches.
Neck: Alder neck with thick rosewood fingerboard & white dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with no wear. Ric-Tite tuners in perfect working condition. 41.9 mm (1.65'') nut width; 52.7 cm (20.75'') scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod is in good working condition.
Body: Double-cutaway, semi-hollow alder body with gold plexi pickguard. The Kauffman Vib-Rola tremolo tailpiece was replaced with a Bigsby, but the original is included with the guitar. Vintage style repro roller bridge. Guitar weighs 5 lbs 13.3 oz.
Pickups: Vintage style single coil "toaster tops" with dual volume & tone controls; 3-way toggle; mono output.
