I was searching for a 325C online today in a lefty...... I know...... Good luck right?
But I did find this, and alot of other models being built overseas, and for sale in America.
They even have the nerve to use the Rickenbacker nameplate with the Made in America printing on it.
I found it on a search engine called ioffer

Price plus shipping to the USA. 375.00

Is that a three-eighty-ugly?

It's as though the designer combined Rickenbacker with Salvador Dali-both badly!

I'm British (English) and didn't realise it was Scottish. Thinking about it though, I've probably picked it up from a Weegie mate.

ioffer is loaded with counterfeit Rick stuff, all out of China, all at silly prices with ugliness varying to "oops" to "fugleeeee".

Well now....the things I learn on the RRF. I'll file that word away somewhere for future reference.

I think they glanced over at an Ibanez RG a little too long and got confused.
