If this is not an appropriate topic for this forum, please feel free to delete it.

I know we just added a new area under the Marketplace section to help educate our members on Rickenbacker copies and how to spot them, but as musicians and a community, I think we should be aware of any guitar being advertised as an original if it is not.

Does this SG look right to you?

That body shape looks WAY wrong to me.

Agreed... the body is just off, period.

Headstock shape is not even close.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

So is this illegal, like a copy of a Rickenbacker, or just a misrepresentation because Gibson (and Fender, etc.) did not diligently defend their patents over the years like RIC has?

Thanks Jason. It's just a number at the end of the day and now of course it's a new one.
