Whereas there are no 325s recorded as shipped during ’62 and ’63 due to a lack of interest, in ’64 Rickenbacker found itself struggling with unprecedented levels of demand. And in a complete reversal of fortune Lennon almost single-handedly revived the ailing short-scale Capri. The electric guitar industry suddenly boomed. The Rose-Morris export deal coincided with the explosion of the Beatles in America following their record-breaking television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show in February ’64 when around 73 million people tuned in to watch.

The Rose-Morris 1993 12-string Capri was soon added to the range, inspired by George Harrison’s recent acquisition of a prototype 360/12.Īfter Lennon acquired his second 325 (serial DB122) in ’64 he was also gifted a unique 12-string – a one-of-a-kind 325/12 (albeit without a vibrato) – though this model never went into regular production.
