WAS this once a RIC or a new faker?

That is clearly a faker with a Rickenbacker TRC.

Thanks Ted,

I THOUGHT it MIGHT have once been a 4004L. I don't know a lot about these models, but the toasters and electronics setup made me look at it twice. The TRC looks old.

Definitely fake. There's a bunch of little differences in the shape and it looks like the pickups are positioned slightly differently than a real 4004.

The headstock and neck heel are totally wrong.

Your first clue that it's a fake should be that it's coming from Taiwan.
