RIC faker at NAMM

This question may need to be moved to another section. If it does, that's OK.

I was looking in another thread with the NAMM 2010 photos, and saw a Chinese company with a RIC 4003 faker on display. Does RIC have international copyrights on their designs and can those be enforced at NAMM? RIC I doubt would be none too happy to see that on display.

There was also a guitar maker from France at the NAMM show, who had bass guitar models with bodies very close to the 4003...and admitting that as well!!

Here's me displaying my ignorance, but I didn't realize there were ANY internationally significant guitar makers out of France.

Who said anything about "internationally significant"?

There was a Korean manufacturer who displayed a 4003 knockoff, too. And, they should have known better...

I trust you're not looking at a career in diplomacy?

Hm, no, can you get paid just to be an ignoramus such as myself?

Apparently you can if you adopt the persona to go along with it.

One of my favourite broadcasters............Mr. Don Cherry.

Wow, now I really must know who these people are if that's cool with the mods... I mean, I've got $5K I've really been meaning to blow on the next thing that came up so this is perfect.
