  1. Oh, another thing about my RIC 325 is that the "F Hole" is in the 1 O'Clock position that is fairly rare today. Newer ones have the "F Hole in the 2 O'Clock position. So IF you order one, make sure to order the "F Hole" in the 1 O'Clock position! They are more valuable. The model 320 is not made anymore and has skyrocketed in price and I have 1 of those in Jetglo. It's the same as the 325 but without the vibrato. I'll try to post pix of that another time. Buy a RIC and rock on!


  2. BTW, if you decide to order or buy 1, they only come in Mapleglo (Blonde) or Jetglo (Black) today. Make sure you pay the extra $450 for the 3 "Toaster Pickups" and another $275 for the "Silver Vintage Case". John Lennon's original 1958 was Mapleglo with gold pickguard and 3 Toaster pickups and 4 toaster knobs. He later painted it black and put on a Bigsby Vibrato. He bought it in Germany with a few dollars down and the promise to pay it off a few dollars a week after that. He "Never" did pay it off!!!!


  3. The odd thing about this guitar is that it only has 2 "TOASTER" pickups! All model 325's and in England, model 1993 had 3 "Toaster" pickups. I called John Hall at Rickenbacker years ago about that and he said very few of these were ever made and people call it a model 310 or 315 if it has the "ACCENT' vibrato like mine does, even tho they were sold as a model 325 and model 325 is written on the body under the pickguard. About 10-15 years ago I saw 2 of these online selling for $15,000, I have no idea what they are going for now. Well kids, that's my story and I'm sticking with it!


  4. ^   I'm planning on getting out a bunch of guitars after Christmas and take pix and post them here. I don't like sharing with facebook or any other site. That's not me, I'll find a way that I feel comfortable with and then show you what I have. I'm sure a lot of you think i'm full of shit because you haven't seen me or my guitars online. Well, what can I say, you can't trust anyone anymore. Those are not my rules, they are the rules of today's generation! Not much to look forward too, huh????
