In the Fall of 1979,I purchase from Rickenbacker Guitars,The Rickenbacker Model 320,in Jetglo finish,no f holes,and Bigsby Handel like John Lennon's 325 V59,Purchased in 1960,and had modified in 1962 By adding a Bigsby Handel on it ,drilling holes on counter at Hessy Music Store in Liverpool, England by Jim Getty.l had written to Rickenbacker. Only issue was intonation due to incorrect nut placement, easily fixed with a toothpick under the strings. I think I paid about 260 brand new (was on sale from about 500 odd), neck played like butter. Price I'm selling is $850 USD which includes shipping from me in Thailand. I was surprised by a 'Magnum' branded Ric copy I owned, which played very nicely. This is unlike any of the Chinese Rickenbacker copies you find floating around as this is an authentic period piece (on a par with Greco and such (another famous company that did Rickenbacker copies back in the days). I'm not much of a player and this guitar has only spent most of its time sitting. The major problem I would say is it has a seam crack along the side of the neck (see picture). Last time I checked, the electronics still work but could use a good replacement. The build and size, however, are very faithful to John Lennon's 325 (not something you find that often on Rickenbacker copies in general).

I'm selling my Japanese Rickenbacker 325 copy for those of you who may be itnerested.
