I've seen worse copies. The lettering is good but it is printed a bit too high. The shape of the plexi seems to be off too.

It's fake (wrong shape, wrong length, screw holes too big). And as noted before, the printing is too high and at the wrong angle. The lettering appears to be free-handed. Look at the inconsistancy in letter height and letter slant. Sound the Rickenfaker alarm!

I like how it was photographed with one of those American middle class shopping mall "Glamor Shots" photo studio diffusion lenses.

I think you're giving him way too much credit... his photography talent is on par with his TRC forging skills.

I like how the holes and letters aren't the same size...just missed the R with top hole.

lol... that is the ugliest TRC I've ever seen.
Looks like a sandwich!
Except flat...
and
er, made of plastic, with the Ric logo on.
Ehem.

My real Ric has the printing too high. This is my 1975 4001.

Yeah, but yours doesn't have screw holes the same size as the tuner holes.....
