Used Rickenbacker prices

Hmm. There's a lot "wrong" with that one in Turkey. The photos won't enlarge for me, but it looks bogus.

It came up on the Facebook RIC group in November 2014. Discussion back then thought the fretboard had been replaced for sure.

Pics are in the register.

Yep, the Turkish one is a faker, bridge in particular is way wrong. I haven't seen any Chinese copies that look like that, wonder where it's from, and who's stupid enough to pay $10k for it?

Bridge looks like a cast aluminium type, sided by two pieces of scratchplate

Yep, may have had a replacement bridge at some stage that required some routing, hence the two mini covers. Grovers look correct and well-worn. An excellent original condition '71 might be worth $10k given the right features (though I think that would be a little "toppy"), but this heavily modified example isn't.

The first thing I did was to check your book to find out in which years' rick this one may correspond Now since I have the opportunity, I really want to thank you personally for that. It's an amazing book.
