Rickenbacker really tried to make the 325c58 exactly like the originals made in the 50s. Features including a semi-hollow Maple body, Maple neck, Rosewood fretboard, 20 3/4 short scale, gold plexi pickguard, Bigsby tremolo and two toaster top pickups. There are alot of other little differences too like the screws that were used,the control knob placement,the fretboard radii and the way the pickups are made but I forget them all. Preowned Rickenbacker 325 V59 In Red Here is a 1998 Rickenbacker 325v59 in very rare Red finish. The c58 has an unfinished fretboard and the v59 has a lacquered fretboard and of course,the c58 has the Kaufman vibrato and the v59 has the Bigsby.I think the v59 is the only production Rickenbacker that came from the factory with a Bigsby installed. Complete with double-bound body, trapeze tailpiece, and unique Rickenbacker 12-string headstock, the 360/12C63 is true to the 1963 version in every aspect down to the shading on the Fireglo finish. The 325V59 was the only 325 model issued from the factory with a Bigsby. The 360/12C63 is an accurate replica of the model George Harrison made so famous. The c58 has open back Staytite tuners and the v59 has Kluson(80's) or Ric branded kluson style tuners(90s). Rickenbacker has not issued a line of 325s with 'Burns knobs.' Many 325V59 and 325C58 models have the 'after factory' modifications that give the guitar the appearance of John Lennons modified 1958 325 including the Bigsby vibrato, 'bowtie' bridge, and the Burns knobs.

The c58 has an alder body and it is a full hollowbody.The v59 is a semi-hollow with a maple body The pickups on the c58 are very low output around 4k(at least the early ones like my 2004 did) the pickups on the v58 are hotter especially the ones made in the 90s.(12-15K!). There are alot of differences between these 2 guitars. A friend on the Rickenbacker forum posted a picture of this one he just got so I copied it so I could see what it would have looked like next to my 325v58. 330 (Dunc’s first good guitar back in 1984) 350 Faker MapleGlo. It has a shimmering, luminous pearlescence thats unmistakeable, and at least every couple of months, a customer specifies Turquoise as the color theyd prefer for a refinish of a timeworn original instrument. The custom Rickenbacker 'Turquoise' color is a stunner, and a favorite of many Rickenbacker fans. I sold it before before I even owned a digital camera so I never took a good picture of it,I just have faded poloroids. 1983 325 REFINISHED IN TURQUOISE METALLIC. Thanks! The first Rickenbacker I bought back in 2004 was a 325c58.
