they said that the piece that holds the strings, i don't know the name, was changed, but yeah doesn't look like a rick.
can you tell me what are the hints of this to identify it as a fake.

[scotty]

the bridge looks like metal spaghetti and the fretboard dot inlays are wrong.Pick ups are not right also.this looks like it been photoed from prison.....

[suboceanic]

jjjj yeah from prision. in mexico we have this kind of entrances for security reasons-
thanks for the input.

[winston]

The first clues is that all of the proportions are all wrong...................and then there is a whole other laundry list, but why help the Chinese to improve their fakers? Welcome to the forum by the way.
