HA! I was just about to start the same thread...

Yeah like "Oh no! I painted over the Ibane... I mean Rickenbacker nameplate"...

Plus he's not asking much for this rare one-of-a-kind 4001BN (Bolt-on neck)...

For sale in Oregon. They have a lot of that glaucoma medicine there.

I'd buy it for ten bucks to blow up in a music video.

I like the comment to the questions..."Yeah, could be a copy"...

One of those was my question, I filled him in on the "no bolt-on" Rics and I think he knows now that someone hoodwinked him.

I emailed him when the auction was first posted, telling him that it was a fake. His reply to me was: "So what was your question?"

I told him the same thing real bluntly "its not a Ric.its a copy"...

Joey, I got the exact same answer. In fact, I was viewer No. 1 (or No. 2 -- when I looked at it, the counter said 0001), and I e-mailed him right away. Well, anyway, we can rest assured he won't be getting any premium price from anyone on this forum.
