Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hmm, after reading this thread, I wonder if my welcoming Mustafa, in a different thread of his, was premature?

No they not successful. Parents disappoint.

OH MY GOD that was the BEST laugh I've had in a LONG time!!!!!!!

I won't quit my day job, but here I go

Music is a language all can understand
Not every one can speak it
That's why there's bands
Imitation and replication is not art
Creativity and application are worlds apart
Rickenbacker, through years of design
Created instruments that expanded our minds
To make cheap copies and think you've done well
Is a sign of weakness an empty shell
Evolve as we do some more than others
If you want respect-respect one another
Hoping you can change your flawed views
Good luck in creating something new

Great!

Can you summarize that in Haiku form, thanks?

Blimey!
Nobody saw this thread coming.

There must be container loads of these fine instruments just waiting to be shipped from China.

Wouldnt it be dreadful if the containers were destroyed in some unforseen catastrophe at the storage facility?

Been watching too many James Bond/ Governator. movies, lately?

I have a guitar stand specially made just for Chinese copies.

It says "Made in China" on it, too!

That actually looks like pickups which are successful in pirated Rickenbacker copy.
But I don't care if I make one red penny, all I care is to see a teenager with a pirated Rick double-neck, smiling and happy!

You don't actually support these pirate parasites, do you?
