Hard to tell from the pic but the dark fretboard makes me think it's a copy, and the skunk stripe looks a bit too wide. Also the half-inch spacing is typical of copies, long after RIC moved to 1" spacing in 1975. The case looks like a real Ric case though. Ask him about the truss rods, most copies have a single rod (although I've seen one that had dual rods).

Don't bother: it is a copy.
