Rickenbacker (2014) 325C64 Electric Guitar - Jetglo, w/OHSC

An iconic recreation of one of the most recognizable guitars of the British Invasion, this 2014 Rickenbacker 325C64 faithfully captures the 1964-era Model 325 famously played by John Lennon during The Beatles' rise to international stardom.

Finished in classic Jetglo, the 325C64 features the model's unmistakably compact semi-hollow maple body, short-scale set maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and distinctive reshaped body and headstock contours based on the 1964 instrument. Its exceptionally short scale creates a uniquely slinky playing feel, making stretches and complex chord voicings remarkably comfortable while giving the guitar a response unlike a conventional full-scale electric.

Three vintage-style Rickenbacker Toaster Top single-coil pickups deliver the bright attack, clarity, harmonic richness, and unmistakable chime associated with classic Rickenbacker electrics. The traditional control arrangement provides extensive pickup blending possibilities, while the factory roller bridge and Accent Vibrato complete the period-correct appearance and functionality.

The C Series represented Rickenbacker's historically focused approach to recreating the instruments that became inseparable from the sound and imagery of the British Invasion. With its Jetglo finish, three Toaster Top pickups, short scale, and distinctive Accent Vibrato, the 325C64 is immediately recognizable as the quintessential Lennon-era Rickenbacker.

This 2014 example includes its original hardshell case.
