Lennon used the guitar on The Beatles' second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show when an estimated 70 million viewers tuned in to watch the show in February 1964. It was also slightly smaller than the earlier model. I am not saying the majority of 325 models produced during the first half of 1964 were made with two O’clock F holes. The 1964 model was similar to John's first 325 but with a thinner body, an extra balance knob and an Accent vibrato. This is another perfect example of why one should avoid using words such as always and never, when discussing vintage Rickenbacker products. The guitar was made especially for him by Rickenbacker and sent directly from theirCaliforniafactory to the hotel inMiamiwhere the group were staying as a replacement for his road-weary 1958-model. This was John Lennon's second Rickenbacker 325 Capri and was sent to him while on the firstUStour with The Beatles.
