There is an XLR jack with a plate where the R-O-S jack and serial # are. I wonder if the serial number is covered or hacked off...if it's not a fake.

My god no! It has full-width inlays if I'm not mistaken!

Oh . . . wait . . . my eyes are playing tricks on me.

The $250 pricetag makes me think the seller knows is is a fake. Heck, the truly beat up and heavily modded Rics go for $500-600.

"I like this one, "broken over some guys head". "

Can't tell a bit. I'd pay $25.00 for it.

"It was epoxied back together and played at gigs by the same guy who whacked the other guy. I'm surprised it just knocked him cold, and didn't kill him".

I hope Mr. Hall reads this listing. He can put that in his advertising materials! Kind of like the old Timex commercials, "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"..!
