Rose-Morris, in the meantime, pounced on a great promotional opportunity. He soon had his regular 325 back in a reasonably playable condition, ready for the band’s first sessions of 1965 at Abbey Road. John didn’t have to put up with the Rose-Morris model 1996 Rickenbacker for long. Maybe it was Mal, too, who then had a go at repairing the ailing 325.

Rose-Morris was happy to provide one of its “British” 1996 versions of the short-scale 325, finished as standard in Rickenbacker’s fireglo red sunburst rather than John’s preferred black. Meanwhile, the British instrument distributor Rose-Morris had taken on the UK agency for Rickenbacker and commissioned six versions of a number of models. It was this second 325 that suffered from John’s experiment with an airborne six-string at Hammersmith. Then, when visiting America in 1964, he got a gift from Rickenbacker, which provided a replacement for that road-weary axe. John bought the first one during a working visit to Hamburg, Germany, in 1960. He told an interviewer at the time that it was “the most beautiful guitar.” John had played a couple Rickenbacker 325 models since the band’s early days, and it had remained more or less the only guitar he used.

Between songs, he took a closer look, and to his horror he noticed a crack going from the nut around the back of the headstock. Relieved, he decided it looked alright.īut when he went to play the guitar at the following night’s performance, he found the more he played it, the more it went out of tune. Startled, John gave the guitar a quick once-over, turning it quickly this way and that.
