What makes this guitar special:  A really cool 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 sweet little number has all the hallmarks of Lennon's modified Rickenbacker used during the early US visits.  The original "oven knobs" were replaced with silver Burns knobs & the original bridge was replaced with the "bowtie" version.  There are a few extra screw holes under the pickguard & the original jackplate was replaced with an elongated one, but the original is included with the guitar.  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 Grover 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 & compensated "bowtie" bridge.  Gold plexi pickguard; guitar weighs 6 lbs 12.5 oz.Pickups:  Three vintage style "toaster top" single coils.  Dual volume & tone controls with Burns silver knobs ; 3-way toggle switch; mono output.  All electronics are in good working condition.Case:  Original vintage style hardshell case included along with original warranty registration card & owner's manual.
