I have seen (handled) one of those and am told there were several made. They are not modified Ricks they are scratch built and though not identical to the real thing they are done up very nicely. The builder is quite talented and lives somewhere in Hungary, or so I am told.

I didn't know TJ was in Hungary... :mrgreen:

Seriously, it's all about subtlety...though the LK is quite over-the-top by any standard, the carving is crisp, and obviously superbly done by hand. The semi-matte finish on the Rick shows the carving to best advantage, without distracting "hot" highlights.

The TJ/Hungary thang seems slathered in corn syrup or something, and the TJ's interpretation of the carving on the Rick LK is a poor imitation.

Seems that anyone knowing what a LK is, would also know that there was something tewrribly wrong about this "Lemmy".

That kinda kills the buzz of potential bragging rights, I would think...
