Actually, Lawton, he's got 4--there are 3-325s and one 360-12 with the ugliest headstock replica I've seen yet:

I dont want to seem like I'm defending this ****, but at least the seller acknowledges that its a "copy". Having said that, its clear that it violates about a million copyrights.

ok, Mr Hall.... go get 'em!

Another fake Ric auction soon to be in the ozone somewhere. LOL

Check out the Gretsch copy before it disappears. This guy is the king of fakes.

He's also got fake Gibson J160E's. He admits in the ad that he added the Gibson logos to the headstocks. The nerve...

If you look closely at the Gretsch copy's headstock logo, you can see that it's file card stock done up with a black marker.

Obviously a low-budget stage guitar at one time.

The guy selling all these fakes probably drives a Yugo with 'Ferrari' emblazoned across the liftback in self-adhesive letters...

...well, at least the headstock doesn't "say" it's a RIC...

One assumes they are fake toasters, too!
