John Lennon's 1958 model was among the very first batch made and has the pre production feature of a solid top, i.e.: no soundhole. These instruments gained prominence due to John Lennon's use of a 325 during the early years of The Beatles. This series is currently available only in "C" reissue form. The body is unbound, semi-hollow, with 2'oclock angled soundhole (although re-issues lack a sound hole due to the Lennon connection), and boasts the "crescent moon"-style cutaways. Production models were 20-3/4" short scale, dot fretboard inlays, and a small (12-3/4" wide) body.
