Do you smell what the ROCK is cooking?

I think that smell is someone's goose!

Time for the RIC police to come down on that one!

BIG tuna. BIG tuna.

Clearly a case of not giving the RIC-buying public not nearly enough credit.

I also e-mailed the guy and suggested he remove the trc and relist as a copy. That's the worst "fireglo" that I've ever seen. I could do better at an attempted repro than that. I also agree that the guy is probably a jerk and very dishonest.

JH or Kenny should put the screws to that seller ASAP.

The title of the auction says it all:

VINTAGE 70'S RICKENBACKER 4003 FIREGLOW ...

Anyone with any knowledge knows there are no 1970s 4003s! Legitimate mistakes are one thing, but ignoring facts is quite another.

Perhaps RIC's legal eagles are all on summer vacation!!

I emailed JH I got a response back that ric will be closed until 6-10 for the holidays.This guy might get away with it.

"After further research, we have found that this is likely a 4002 modlel from Rickenbacker. "

Huh?!?

That seller is asking for a foot right in his mouth.

I have just sent him a fairly curt message. Doubt if I will get a reply...
