I was searching for some 330's to look at and
this happened:

It comes with a good-ole Gibson USA strap. There are a few others on the site as well.

Um, those TRCs look good from a distance. Other than that, the thing is terrible! It was only a matter of time before Fakers began using TRCs that directly said "Rickenbacker" instead of "Rockenroller" or "Rickenfaker," etc.
How sad!

That's
REALLY bad! They might as well stick a fake TRC on a guitar that looks like a F*nd*r or G*bs*n!
I can just see some bonehead buying that guitar either thinking it's real or knowing it's fake but justifying enough authenticity because it says Rickenbacker on it.

The ad mentions that this factory makes some OEM guitars/equipment for some "international clients". Their 'Epiphone' model looks accurate enough. Don't know why someone would buy an Epiphone for more than a Gibson, since all models go for between 300 & 400 USD.
I might add the headstock as my avatar for this site.
