Hi All,
Is this kosher? The neck inlays look way too narrow (and white) to be genuine:

The classic "CHickenbacker"...
And the best part is the price!
AU $4,800.00?!?!?
I think it'd be over priced at AU $480.00

The seller is a Pawn Shop. I saw that too, and dropped him a line and told him what's wrong with the listing and included a pic of a real one for comparison. He's either a shonky or he's been shonkied.

With no new RIC product coming into OZ the local resale market is going ballistic.

Cheers,

Andrew
