@@chrisst8922 Yes yes, Rose Morris assigned them other numbers, thats not the point of the comment. The point is that Lennon did use that model in live performance, contrary to what was claimed...
Thanks for demonstrating the guitar using a CLEAN amp setting, which tells a lot about the guitar. Thanks too for explaining how the controls work (pickup switch, middle pickup blend knob). I know it seems obvious to any intelligent person that “OF COURSE” a guitar review video should cover such things, but it’s amazing how many don’t. Good job! 😎
It's always been said Lennon thought the Ric made him look bigger, but I don't buy that...he wasn't a real small guy. I think you're right about the ease of reaching frets, but yes, maybe it was more banjo-like in reach too. Beautiful guitar.

@@johnlennonade5869 Yep those are the ones. I had a set of those on my 325 for 11 years.. they seem to last forever. And flatwounds are very kind to your frets.
I watched your 'don't bother me' tutorial and now for some reason I cant watch any other tutorials because I've built an imaginary bond with you. I need more friends
A lot of people consider this guitar to be a one-trick pony but really it's also a great shoegaze and garage rock guitar. I've been playing Strokes and Arctic Monkeys songs on this and it sounds great.
Really enjoyable video! Love the guitar as well. I play a late 60's Kalamazoo made Epiphone Casino with a Bigsby. Would like to try one of these out, it's too bad nobody stocks these guitars. You pretty much have to order one and hope you like it. Thanks for the video.
Yes, in Miami in time for the 2nd (or really the 3rd show as they taped the 2 shows in NY before doing the Miami show). You'll see John playing his original on the 1st show and the new one given to him by Steve Hall on the 2nd televised show.
never had any of my 80s, 90s or 2000s go out of tune. the people who claim that probably never really owned one... nice guitar! must've been not cheap. oh well, cant own'em all!
I was just at my friends music store last night, looking at a Rickenbacker. He brought me over to it because he wanted to show me how bad the finish was on it. And man, it was pretty bad. I asked him why he didn’t send it back to them. He said basically he couldn’t. Rickenbackers are about 6 months out when you order one and it sounded like they won’t take something back based on a cosmetic issue. But it was fucked in my eyes. The edges of the body had This horrible orange peel on the body. It was every single edge on the body, not just one spot. And on the neck, where the binding is, you could see where the black lacquer bled under the masking tape and bled onto the white binding. And that guitar was over two grand if I remember right. Anyways, your vid popped up on my feed and it’s cool to see your excitement about your new guitar. It looks and sounds awesome. When I buy a guitar, it’s beauty and workmanship kinda inspires me to keep playing at times. I was in there to pick up a replacement gretsch I had coming to me, that gretsch had just shipped to him for me, and the replacement was not great in my opinion. That’s when my buddy showed me the Rickenbacker. I think he was making an attempt to make me feel better about the shitty job gretsch did on my replacement. I’ll looks for some more vids from ya tho. Sweet guitar.
I had one of these back in the 70's but mine did not have the tremolo bar and it had the "R" tailpiece. I was 25 at the time and the factory I worked in closed and everyone lost their job. Unfortunately for me, I also had a wife and 2 small kids so I had to sell it to pay the rent and buy groceries. It would be worth a small fortune today.
@@chrisst8922 Yes, I think so. Short scale, no tremolo bar and "R" tailpiece. I'd give anything to get it back. A new one now is well over $3K. I think I paid about $500 back in the day.
@@cygnus53 Lovely. I think you'd be surprised. I've seen a fair few for sale. I think it's a niche purchase and people do what you did. But they sell fairly cheaply because the market's small. 20 miles from me is Denmark Street in London where every 60's musician bought their kit. It's 200 yards of little shops and every time I go I always see one or two 325's some secondhand.
Actually, John Hall, CEO of Rickenbacker in 1964, gave John the guitar just prior to the Beatles second Ed Sullivan Show which was televised from Miami Beach, thus the label "325 C64 Miami" which has followed the guitar from then. John first played it publicly on that show and then throughout much of his career up until he and George bought Epiphone Casino guitars like Paul's. George played his for awhile but moved on to other guitars like the Strat, a Les Paul, SG and that rosewood Telecaster he ultimately gave away. John pretty much stayed with his Casino in terms of electric guitars after his Ric 325 although he played his (or George's) Gibson J-160E throughout his career with the Beatles. In fact, the Gibson J-160E was used on every Beatles' album, the only guitar to lay that claim.
A rickenbacker 325 in 1964 -65 did not cost $14,00 dollars as you mentioned when you said that’s what you thought lennon paid , the cost was around $300 .
Fantastic Man! I have the Ric 350v63 Liverpool, in Jetglo, through a Vox AC-15, & absolutely love it! Also got the Ric 381/12v69 in Fireglo on order from the Santa Ana Factory, ( 9 to 18 month wait ) & anticipation is a wonderful thing! ThankYou for a great Review & Happy New Year from a big John Lennon fan in New Zealand.
I often wondered if the three pickups in this model could be used to emulate a Stratocaster (though based on this demonstration, it's sonically more like an Epiphone Riviera).
The big mistake I made when I had a Rose-Morris 1996 (the 325 with a fireglow finish and an F-hole) was to put a set of "regular slinky" (10's) strings on it. The extra-low tension of those strings on such a short scale-length made for all kinds of fretboard buzzing and tuning problems. These guitars need a string set with a wound G string, like 12's. Supposedly, John Lennon used flatwounds, too. I'm sorry I traded it away, but I loved the Jazzmaster I traded it for. Anyway, I play a Rickenbacker model 620, now.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting. You seem to have brought the best out of that guitar. I bought a new 1996 model about a week ago and love just looking at it. I really like the case too.
Because everyone knows that whatever is said on the internet "must" be true, here are some facts per, "Beatles Gear" by Andy Babiak, published by BackBeat Books, c2001, ppg. 35-39. The 325 owned by Lennon (he only had one 325 he performed with exclusively from '60 and thru the next four years). Rickenbacker designed it in 1957, and built it in Jan '58. A 3/4 size, it sat on the rack for two years because it was not at all popular. They were a semi-hollow body guitar with no F-hole in '58. Part of the Capri series, Rickenbacker's records say that only 28 were produced in the first year of production (1958). Twenty were Autumnglo (sunburst), and eight natural finish, which is what John bought in 1960 in Germany. Serial number V81. He changed out the standard Ric vibrato system with a Bigsby. Sometime in '63, John had it painted black. That's right - there was no separate black 325. There are pictures by Astrid Kirchherr showing a young John Lennon sporting the "Teddy Boy" look, on their first trip to Hamburg, in the coffee table book, by Chronicle Books, "The Beatles Anthology" and holding his Natural finish 325. See pg. 52, and later on ppg. 65-66. According to George Harrison, he bought it, "on the knocker", "[Money] down and the rest when they catch you". George says he wasn't sure he ever paid it off. In the U.S. in 1960, the guitar would've sold for $269.50 (about 100 pounds then), though there is no evidence what he paid for it, and only rumor about where he bought it, but definitely in Germany. Even decades later John still considered it his prize possession. He stripped it down to bare wood again, later. Yoko still owns it to this day.
Interesting how the economies of it have developed. One thing too is that you couldn't buy an American guitar off the wall in London in '64 because of import controls.
Dunno why you think the Beatles used a lot of reverb. They clearly didn’t. George Martin was too clever to hide everything in reverb and their early stage amps didn’t have reverb!
My rickenbacker was stolen, along with my strat plus, a les Paul and god knows what else. But the rickenbacker hurt the most. I had a 360. I notice this guys model has tremolo. The 360 had the classic "R" shaped tailpiece. And for a tremolo effect all id do was push down the "R" with my palm. 😢😢😢 it is still sooooooo hard to talk about this and it was 15 years ago. Also I played metal on my rick! 🎸
An excellent comment. If you told some people about yer R tailpiece trick they'd be no end of fuss written about it going out of tune and that. Sorry about the theft. Lennon had the same problem.
Hey man yeah huh? You got me all nostalgic for that guitar. The absolute control that the rick offer is what attracted me to it. The pickup selector was soooooo immediate I NEVER used my delay pedal. I simply hammered the switch. Volume as well for sweet fade properties.. Now I am using an ESP viper and a 1/2 hollow gretsch which does okay in place of the rick. But not quite😪
Ok First there was V81 a 1958 325 in natural alder. Lennon replaced the vibrola unit and had it sprayed black by Charles Bantam. That was replaced by BD122, which is the original of the 325C64. Deliverd to the Deauville Hotel Miami, the name Miami has stuck. Rickenbacker shipped a twelve string version too the 320/12. Christmas '64 Lennon damaged the Miami and Rose Morris gave him a 1996 and years later John gave it to Ringo who sold it at auction to Jim Irsay The first 3 are in the estate but have been displayed a lot. I'd recommend The Beatles Gear by Andy Babiuk.
@@markdinkel9006 That's right. that tannish color is the natural finish that Rickenbacker still do today although now they're made of maple not alder. Here's a photograph of V81 when it was still new. th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.TEfDKy1sk85w9yLZ4g5HUQAAAA?w=180&h=180&c=7&o=5&dpr=1.62&pid=1.7
I bought one and was shocked at how small it was when I opened the case. But that being said its playable and sounds great but going up the neck the frets are really close.
I like this guitar. I have wanted one for some time. This Rickenbacker 325C64 is an expensive guitar. In Canada, where I live, it sells for $5000.00. LOL I mean, really. What is with the Rickenbacker company? I can think of a lot nicer guitars, acoustic and electric, for that kind of money. I just don't get it. Sour grapes? Perhaps a little bit, but, c'mon, this Rickenbacker is overpriced.
actually, the beatles didn't use any reverb "especially earlier". reverb didn't come along until long after they were done with their rickenbacker guitars.
Hey, I was wondering where you got this amazing Rickenbacker. As I’ve been looking for what feels like forever. I just can’t afford $3,000. What do you suggest? To find a deal
I think you will be able to find one secondhand and for a reasonable price because I think they're a niche purchase and they get sold to pay for something else. They might hold their value but then there's a more limited market. Mine's a case in point. I ordered it and was told 9 months and I started saving. Three weeks later the shop rang to say they had one as another customer had pulled out.
I have a Rickenbacker 360 (absolutely love it) and play most songs with it. Some people think you can only play certain songs on a Ric but I find almost all the songs sound great. You just modify your style a little or use the Neck pickup for mellow stuff. I'm curious of how much the 325 weighs? John

That guitar contributed so much toward the Beatles unique sound, wonderful.

So says John Hall.
Who could think of anything besides the Beatles when they see that Ric

When I see a rick 325 I think of john lennon

No

Creedence Clearwater Revival: put on a Gibson bridge pickup and Bigsby and master volume. John Fogerty used a 325 Fireglo hollow-body.
Watched your video...bit the bullet and bought one. Can't wait to get my hands on it! Thanks for the tips!
Will you ever purchase the 1958 Rickenbacker 325 in Mapleglo with the Kauffman vibrato. Would love to see you do a video with that beautiful guitar.
How do you fix that buzz ? i have it on my vox vt 40+. You would really help me
How about the Fogerty lead sound? Green river for example.
Brother i am really happy for you . What do you feel with 3 pickup when you strum , maybe some day i get mine enjoy your guitar and thank you
Where do you get you’re guitars
Sweet guitar. Great video
Hey man! Are you plannin to do any more vids with your beautiful guitars?
Might be $1400 now but NO WAY they were that much in 1964. My guess would be no more than $500.
actually, the beatles didn't use any reverb "especially earlier". reverb didn't come along until long after they were done with their rickenbacker guitars.
I bought a Rickenbacker 325 v59 from 1990
Hello me again! When you ordered the guitar, did it come with the sticker on the pick guard?
I never realized that John picked up and placed down his fingers over and over on the chords!!
Just let me hear some of that rock snd roll music!!!
The riff is rock and roll music
Hey, I was wondering where you got this amazing Rickenbacker. As I’ve been looking for what feels like forever. I just can’t afford $3,000. What do you suggest? To find a deal
I think you will be able to find one secondhand and for a reasonable price because I think they're a niche purchase and they get sold to pay for something else. They might hold their value but then there's a more limited market.
Mine's a case in point. I ordered it and was told 9 months and I started saving. Three weeks later the shop rang to say they had one as another customer had pulled out.
They ARE GREAT guitars.....I want to be buried with mine! Thanks young man!
Hello can you give me the reference of the strings that are the best for this guitar? thanks in advance
Rickenbacker 325 c64 i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really want a 325 but I dont know how it would be on me being that its a short scale and im 6'6' 220
You should do a video with a guitar playing please please me
I have the same guitar I live in Essex Md I like you videos
the riff was Rock n roll music
Thanks for your video. Learned a lot. Beatles forever!
please talk about the guitar case more ..thanks...lol
I have a Rickenbacker 360 (absolutely love it) and play most songs with it. Some people think you can only play certain songs on a Ric but I find almost all the songs sound great. You just modify your style a little or use the Neck pickup for mellow stuff. I'm curious of how much the 325 weighs? John
john wouldve used a ns2 fror sure..... noisy buggers the old rickys
Anyone know of a good imitation Ric 325? Or a lightweight kit?
Nice guitar. Do a tour of ur room
Where did u get ur 325 from? And how much for?
What strings do you use?
Does this size of guitar make it easier to play. I know Lennon had small hands.
The riff is from "Rock and Roll Music"
