Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Has anyone seen these instruments before?

is that a maple leaf on the poster ? hope that's not made in igloo land. mr. hall will boycott canadian beer !

very good quality as i see from the missing knob disc on the brand new guitar !

That looks like a NAMM photo, but I didn't see their booth if they were there.

Nothing on the website; virtually everything there is a LP variant.

Looks to me like they were testing the waters, and had some Chinese Rickenfaker samples up.

Shouldn't this be posted in the Copycats section?

I didn't seem their booth either.
I did see a booth in the basement that I thought I was going to see a Rick copy or two, since they had a copy of just about everything else!

Tom, it did occur to me that certain fakers might be available for private viewing.

This company was previously known as "Dot On Shaft". They're a Canadian company that sells their own brand of Asian built guitars. I once visited their retail store in Barrie Ontario (an hour north of Toronto), and experienced first hand some of the ugliest most overpriced guitars I've ever seen. I'm not surprised that they're knocking off Rickenbackers, although we know this will be short lived!
