What makes this guitar special:  A faithful recreation of John Lennon's modified '59 325 in Jetglo.  These reissues made their debut in '84 & this particular model was manufactured in '98.  This cool little number has all the hallmarks of Lennon's first Rickenbacker - the short scale neck, three pickups & TV knobs with Bigsby tremolo.  Production ceased around 2001 & these are becoming harder to find.  This gorgeous guitar was just recently acquired from the original owner who special ordered it from Rickenbacker with the white truss rod cover & pickguard rather than the standard gold.  Professionally set up by Cream City Music with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!Cosmetic Condition:  Very clean condition overall with some minor nicks & dings; various surface scratches.
Neck:  Slender maple neck with thick rosewood fingerboard & pearloid dot inlays.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Vintage style Ric Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 5/8" nut width; 21" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.Body:  Semi-hollow maple body with Bigsby tremolo & six-saddle adjustable bridge.  Split-level white plexi pickguard; guitar weighs 6 lbs 14.4 oz.Pickups:  Three vintage style "toaster top" single coils.  Dual volume & tone controls with "TV" knobs; 3-way toggle switch; mono output.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.Case:  Original vintage style hardshell case included with original owner's manual & polish cloth.
