It's weird but there appears to be a vintage instrument value appreciation for Ric fakers as well as legit Rics. Ibanez fakers going for over $1,000 in some cases. Who'da thunkit.

That's ludicrous, and I'm gonna try desperately to ignore that fact, lest my music studio become the land of misfits bass guitars.

True, but there are several people out there that they will fool. :twisted:
As well, there are some people that won't care that's it's a fake.
