But yes, I love the colour of the 6. And it looks like @scarry67 has its twin. Is that also a ‘97?
so you might want one of each.
By the 1980's they had been driven to more urban locations such as housing developments, before they eventually went extinct.
One of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever owned but the neck width coupled with the scale length made it an absolute nightmare to play. That doesn’t stop me periodically searching for another one though!

From bits I’ve read re. Lennon, he had quite small hands and liked the lazy approach to playing ‘Chuck Berry’ barre chords that the 325 allowed. The short scale does make those stretches with your pinky super easy.
Apparently the 2 main reasons that Lennon ditched his Rickenbackers in favour of the Casino were the headstock break that his 64 325 received at a gig in London that was poorly repaired, and that he had always been frustrated with the ‘clicking’ noise his pick made against the chrome of the ‘toaster’ pickups. Rumour has it that he disconnected the middle pickup on his original ‘58 325 for this reason too.
Wow, I got a bit carried there, sorry! Buggering off to a Beatles forum now...
