Hey everyone...Just wanted to let you all know that I have an article coming up in the December issue of Premier Guitar concerning Chinese counterfeit guitars that has Rickenbacker content. I had a good conversation with John Hall today about his opinions on the problem and what he's doing to stop the Chinese from bootlegging his trademark name and designs. According to John, he's on the verge of "cutting the head off the snake" in China itself, using legal and political strategies. He couldn't elaborate any further. I hope you'll check it out. It should hit the stands in late November.

I will have to pick that one up since I have been negligent in subscribing. I did catch your interesting article on cigar box guitars.
