Electronics & Features

One of the defining characteristics of the 325V59 is its unique short-scale design. The compact body and shorter scale length create a feel that is instantly recognizable and incredibly comfortable.

The trio of original toaster pickups delivers the classic Rickenbacker chime, sparkle, and articulation that has made these guitars legendary. Combined with the semi-hollow maple construction, the result is a tone that is rich in harmonics, clear, and exceptionally responsive.

The Vintage Series specifications, including the Accent vibrato, vintage-style appointments, and period-correct electronics, make these some of the most desirable modern Rickenbackers ever produced.

Tone & Feel

This guitar delivers the unmistakable Rickenbacker sound—bright, jangly, articulate, and full of character.

Chords ring with incredible clarity, while single notes have a distinctive sparkle and attack that sits beautifully in a mix. Whether you're playing classic rock, pop, jangle-rock, indie, or clean rhythm work, the 325V59 excels in ways few guitars can.

The short-scale neck feels compact and fast, making the instrument exceptionally comfortable and fun to play. At only 7 lbs 2 oz, it is lightweight and perfectly balanced.
