Electronics & Features

The 325V59 is known for its unique design — short scale, compact body, and vintage-style layout that set it apart from nearly everything else out there. It’s a guitar that feels and responds differently in the best way.

’90s Rickenbackers are especially well regarded for their build quality and consistency, and this one is a great example of that era.

Tone & Feel

This guitar delivers the bright, chimey, and articulate tone that Rickenbacker is famous for. The original single-coils provide excellent clarity, note separation, and that signature jangly top end.

The short-scale neck and thin profile make it feel fast, compact, and very comfortable — a great choice for rhythm work, melodic leads, and vintage-inspired playing styles.
