In this photo, Fogerty is photographed with Rickenbacker 325 back in 1969.
However, Fogerty possibly owns more of those guitars. Back in 1969, he used the 325 as his main instrument during the Creedence Clearwater Revival's heyday. The guitar had an "ACME" inscription on it, and he gave the guitar away (or sold it, there are different accounts of it) to a 12-year-old boy named Louie back in 1970. Rolling Stone wrote an article back in 2017, where it reported that this particular guitar has been bought back by John's wife, Julie Fogerty and presented to Fogerty as a Christmas gift in 2016.
