Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

hi guys could you helpe identify this ricken.
thanks.

It's a faker..............made in China most likely.

Not a Rickenbacker. Fake.

Its a fake.

I have moved this topic to The Others.

they said that the piece that holds the strings, i don't know the name, was changed, but yeah doesn't look like a rick.
can you tell me what are the hints of this to identify it as a fake.

the bridge looks like metal spaghetti and the fretboard dot inlays are wrong.Pick ups are not right also.this looks like it been photoed from prison.....

jjjj yeah from prision. in mexico we have this kind of entrances for security reasons-
thanks for the input.

The first clues is that all of the proportions are all wrong...................and then there is a whole other laundry list, but why help the Chinese to improve their fakers? Welcome to the forum by the way.

All the dead giveaway signs have been listed. So I'll just add my welcome to the forum, Humberto.
