"RICKENBAKER"

I find it ironic that the pictures say "do not copy".

The "MADE IN U.S.A." label is amusingly ironic.

Looks like the same wood as my kitchen cabinets...

They call it a Rickenbaker, but the TRC says Rickenbacker...

Yeah, and the "Do Not Copy" on the pics... Obviously they're interested in protecting their rights, just not those of others...

That ugly monstrosity reminds me of those old Kay Ricknefakers, but without the "made in a high-school workshop" charm...

Get a load of their sales pitch (just below large pictures): '...During the past years we have won a good reputation and saved customers all over the world with the principle of "honesty, professionalism, eximious quality"...'

I worked for 3 years in 3 different regions in China.

It is my belief that ethical and foolish are synonyms there.

Honesty and fairness is something that shouldn't be expected in dealings with strangers.

You have to love the Gibson-style "Certificate of Authenticity" resting in the case. Looks like a project bass built from old table scraps by drunks in the back room of a Pier-1 Imports. Don't think I'll be trading them my 4004Cii anytime soon...

Rickenbaker - I'd rather save up a little more bread and get the real thing. Bread! Geddit? Baker! Geddit?
