re: Beatles obsession thread

I'm looking to maybe get a vintage Rickenbacker 325 like Lennon had - any advice from anyone?

Reverb has a genuine 1967 3-pickup model for $11,500

Yeah. I spoke to a shop on the West Coast yesterday. They said, according to their research, only ~30 of the 1958 models were ever made - and likely only 2 or 3 in Maple Glow (Lennon's original color, he later converted it to black).

Crazily, they have the 2nd one! (The other presumably owned by Lennon's estate or some such). They didn't quote me a price, but said they got it last year from some collector guy and it was "at least hundreds of thousands".

John Lennon with a little help from his friends George Harrison and Ringo Starr Sings Paul McCartney songs - In Sept 1971 John and Yoko decided to leave England for New York - So the night after they arrived in New York they held a Private Party with a selection of close friends including George Harrison and Ringo Starr - Here then is THAT Very Party captured on tape by Neil Aspinall.
