A couple of fakers

A new guitar shop has just opened fairly near to where I live so I popped in to look around.
They have a very interesting selection of mainly used guitars for sale but I naturally went straight for their Ric section.
First I saw a nice 330/6 in mapleglo, 2004 model in great condition.
Next on the rack was a 360/6 in midnight blue, a 2006 model also in great condition, but this one had a fake white TRC, looked like one of those Italian ones.
Then there were 2 'interesting' specimens. A black 360/12 copy, and a fireglo 4003 bass copy! But all were being advertised as 'Original Rickenbacker guitars'.
I'm gonna pop back with my camera and take a couple of pictures.
