The Rickenbacker 325C64 is one of those guitars where the sound and the story go hand in hand. In 1964, this compact Rickenbacker helped define the look and tone of the British Invasion when it was famously played by John Lennon. The 325C64 is Rickenbacker’s faithful recreation of that exact-era instrument, built to capture both the feel and the sound that changed popular music.
This model features a semi-hollow maple body with the correct reshaped body and headstock, paired with a short 21" scale that gives it a naturally slinky, fast-playing feel. Three vintage-style toaster top pickups deliver that unmistakable Rickenbacker chime—bright, articulate, and perfectly voiced for jangly chords and rhythmic playing that cuts through a mix without getting harsh.
Period-correct details like the Accent Vibrato and roller bridge complete the package, while the lightweight build makes it comfortable for long playing sessions. Whether you’re a Beatles fan, a Rickenbacker collector, or a player looking for something truly distinctive, the 325C64 offers a direct link to one of the most influential moments in electric guitar history.
