Description
An exact replica of the modified 325 Capri John Lennon used on the first Ed Sullivan shows in '64. This cool 2006 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: Various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some finish wear - mostly on the back of the neck & top of the headstock. Overall the guitar has a cool look to it with a great vibe.
Neck: Nicely rounded alder neck with thick rosewood fingerboard & cream dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any 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 8.2 oz.
Pickups: Three vintage style single coil "toaster tops". Dual volume & tone controls with 3-way toggle switch.
