Nasty looking frets on that one!
RIC would never let something like that get out the door.

Here's the offender:

"Now Johnny, no running with that guitar, you know you could put someone's eye out with those frets."

youch!

Notice there's no reference to it being a rickenbacker clone...for obvious reasons.

The TRCs still going strong. They "look" like the real thing but...for sale in Europe only now.

The TRC in auction three is legit. The ones in auction one and two are fakes. I'd throw that guy in jail, period.

TRC three.

Sergio, you're closer than me. He's in Rome.

I dropped him a note telling him I thought his TRCs were counterfeit, and asking where he got 'em. Yeah, I can be a busybody/bulldog occasionally, LOL.

His response:

"counterfeit ?????
i dont think....
I have buy this items in china.
bye"

Makes me a bit concerned that there is a silkscreen shop in China cranking these out, no doubt, by the hundreds or more. If this chump is telling the truth, we could see more of these popping up. Forewarned is forearmed...
