Version 1 (The Original – Late 50’s to Early 60’s) Early on in his playing days, Lennon had to make do with budget guitars: the Dallas Tuxedo, the Hofner Club 40, the Hofner Senator.

VOX (Vox) Vox Python Guitar Strap Reprinted Edition John Lennon Rickenbacker Out let JAPAN, 17148. Designed to recreate various versions of his main guitar. This guard is based on a very accurate tracing of John Lennon’s original 1958 Rickenbacker® 325. But, hey, it was much better than whatever Teisco and their ilk had to offer in the budget price range.Description Based on John Lennon’s Original 325ĭesigned To Fit Most Rickenbacker® 325 Models Of course, the ES-16 has just 18 frets vis-à-vis the 21 found on the 325. If you’ve ever fantasized about what it would be like to have Allan Holdsworth-sized hands then these guitars might give you some idea. And although the ES-16 may look tiny, it’s the same scale as the “ John Lennon” Rickenbacker 325, allowing large stretches that might otherwise be impossible on a traditional-sized guitar. However, you could easily trade out the set bridge for one that can be intonated, without hurting the guitar’s stock value. While the sealed Kluson tuners keep the guitar in tune, the intonation is a little squirrelly. The next phase of development was where the bass horn followed suit into the familiar double-outward curve cutaway, as per Lennon's 325. This body shape is what you call a ‘half-and-half’ (because it’s ‘half tulip’). Similar in spec to the Ryder ES-16, this 1957 Rickenbacker Combo 1000 has a thinner/pointier treble horn than Rickenbacker's earlier ‘tulip’ guitars, which have thicker inward-curving cutaway horns.
