The NERVE!!!

any bets on how long this one will last ? This looks like one of the neck through copies .... I have heard that the Grecos were not too shabby for a faker.

.....love that binding !

Really not a bad looking faker

Yep...here's another "example" from the bottom of their page:

I dunno.....

an "S"?

Can anyone tell me what make the tuning pegs are?

I'd also like to discuss the differences as these are pretty good copies.

the tuning pegs definately look off. On the black one, that checkerboard binding looks NG and the fret board looks to dark, the strap buttons are incorrect..

anything else?

That's a very nice faker. Greco made excellent copies.

The Greco Tbirds are also pretty good copies.

I have heard that some Greco Rickenfakers also had dual truss rods but all of the ones that I have seen in the flesh have singles. Anyone know about dual rod Grecofakers ?

If Greco have gone as far as doing dual truss rods, we should make them "honorary Rickenbackers"...


(Mr Hall: I'm just kidding!)

I've seen Ibanez and Univox with dual truss rods as well.What I find interesting about these copies is that they are in such good shape from the 70's

maybe these are in fact new fakes of vintage Japanese Rickenfakers..... fakes of fakers if you will.
