For an indie company, they sure aren't very original.

Korean made, repped in UK and Sweden. There's that spaghetti tailpiece again.

What I hate is that the fake parts get circulated. I got burned on a bridge last year.

I love it - that model's called the "IRK5". Someone should let them know that their product irks a lot more than five around here....
All things considered, though, at least that one LOOKS like a Rickenbacker, as opposed to some of the inexplicable "Rickenbacker copies" that have surfaced on eBay lately.

David raises a good point, and it's just another good reason to NIP IT.

People bother because there's always a market for cheap knockoffs of legendary gear.
If you read the manufacturer's **** sheet (pun intended), it lists the pickups as "hums". I wonder if that's 50 cycle or 60?
I guess it depends on where you're plugged in...

I reiterate my feelings on the spaghetti tailpiece;
anything would be nicer looking than it.

I think some of these companies are under the impression that...."people make fender copies....but the headstock is different.....so we will make a rickenbacker copy and make the headstock different and itll be nice legal"
