Info About John Lennon's 1996 John Lennon Model

Lennon accidentally dropped the second 325 model during a 1964 Christmas show, breaking the headstock which made the instrument go hopelessly out of tune every time he played it. While it was being repaired, Rose Morris, the official UK importer of Rickenbacker at the time, gave Lennon an export version of the 325 called the 1996. This 1996 was later given by Lennon to fellow Beatle and friend, Ringo Starr. Fear that the guitar had been destroyed in a 1979 fire at Starr's Los Angeles home was laid to rest in 2005, when Starr used it on a recording. Ringo owns this Lennon RM 1996 Rickenbacker guitar to this day.

Investment Gain/Potential
I do feel based on artist status ++ rarity the investment potential of the above will be exceptionally strong as can foresee ££££ pricing commanding circa £10,000 +++++ within future years  
We hope you have enjoyed the above listing and do advise if you have any further thoughts/questions in regards to the above instrument
Best Regards
