Welcome, Mark! A few lefties here, and they can comment. Offhand, I'd say $1500-1700US in excellent condition.

BTW, ALL Rickenbackers are Made In USA! Proudly, too, I might add...

I was told by a reputable guitar store in London that there are Japanese copies floating around! Thanks anyway for your help.

Japanese copies will be old. The newer fakes are from mainland China, where they have difficulty understanding the concept of intellectual property, or just don't give a damn, or both.

If the guitar store in London stocks counterfeits, then he's not "reputable", by definition.

I have a 330 LH MB made in 2003. I would say Paul's estimate is pretty close. Don't buy a cheap copy as the quality will be dramatically inferior compared to the real thing.

The Chinese copies are atrocious...'Rockinbeater' or whatever. Junk ! :evil:
I'm sure RIC legal has been on top of the situation.
