Almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Great attention to detail. And the "low-resonance industrial 12-ply sandwiched in between top and bottom layers" is a bonus. RIC gives you only two pieces of wood for the body, we give you fourteen! - and some of them are sawdust mixed with glue!

This one is for the discerning collector.

As for you, young man, wishing you and yours safety and a quick peace in this time of unrest.

What the ad really says is:
We haven't got the slightest idea what this is, so it's worth $680.

That's the ugliest copy I've ever seen. Typical Kay quality from that time era.
