This is another rare left handed Rickenbacker: a one-owner Rickenbacker 325 Maple Glow natural with factory Bigsby (325V59L-MG). It is from 1992 with serial # D5 8439. This is based on John Lennon’s original ¾ sized Rickenbacker which was a thick body in the natural Maple Glow finish. He swapped out the control knobs for Hofner tea-cup knobs and swapped out the Kaufmann vibrola for the Bigsby that most people are familiar with. This guitar does NOT have the “bow-tie” bridge. He then painted it black. This was the version that we saw him use on the Ed Sullivan Show and subsequent live performances.

The original owner purchased this guitar from the Guitar Center in Hollywood in 1992 where it was hanging on the wall. It still has the made in USA sticker on the pickguard. It has maybe 20 hours playing time on it.
Please note, Rickenbacker released a couple of different runs of this guitar with different model designations. Some may have a “C” designation. This guitar is from the V59 run (325V59).

The guitar is in Mint Condition aside from some very minor case rash on the back (only seen in direct light and up close). Includes OHSC, store retail tag, Rickenbacker warranty card, bridge cover, strap, and polishing cloth.

This is a Left Handed Rickenbacker John Lennon signature limited edition 325 ¾ size, serial # L44270 from 12/3/91. This is a one-owner guitar purchased from Southpaw Guitars in the early 1990’s. It is from a limited edition “signature” line Rickenbacker did back then which also included a full-size scale neck version and a 12-string version. This guitar is number 1583 of 2000. I have not seen another of the ¾ sized guitars in “lefty”.

This is a truly a collectable for someone who wants the actual ¾ size, thin body version that Lennon played. I believe he received this thinner body version while on tour in Miami which is why it is sometimes referred to as the “Miami” guitar. Please note, Rickenbacker later released a stock version called the “Miami 325” but this guitar is NOT the Rickenbacker “Miami 325” release as this guitar is the limited edition signature release.

This guitar has no play time and is like new. One of the case feet is missing. Also included is a reissue high-quality Vox Python strap, COA, polish cloth, and warranty card.

If you’re a Left Handed Beatles/John Lennon fan, this is a must-have guitar for your collection. I had a right handed 325JL years ago, but it was not anywhere in this pristine/As New condition!

This is a Gibson Custom Shop ’57 Reissue Les Paul Junior from 2016 in single cutaway, TV Yellow finish. The owner swapped out the plastic parts, pickguard, wrap-around tailpiece, tuners, etc. for upgraded after-market parts to preserve the original parts.

The only reason for the sale is the owner broke his pinky finger on his right hand in three places. The finger did not heal back to its original form. As a result, the owner cannot wrap his right hand around the bigger neck profile. It has basically sat in its case since day one.

The original pickguard still has the Gibson sticker logo on it. It comes with the COA, OHSC (reissue Lifton case), and all paperwork.

All of the original parts are included with the sale. The upgraded parts currently on the guitar are:

Pickguard, screws, TRC : MojoAxe
Kluson Strip Tuners: Vintage Relic
Knobs/Pointers: CreamTone
Tailpiece, studs: Faber
