Help Blueburst 2005 Rickenbacker 360 Real or not?

Post by wheneverifever »

Maybe I'm just being paranoid because I got such a good deal on it...But it never hurts to ask people for verification on things like this.

I mean everything looks legit, I opened the cavity and the serial number matches the rickenbacker jackplate. It just looks like it was hand written in pen as an afterthought though, which had me a little worried. It also looks like it ways Xuung written at the bottom? The jack has rick-o-sound standard on it and everything like it should.

Here's some photos of her, came in the original Rick case and everything.

So if you can please help me. I'd really appreciate any help you guys have.

Oh my, that is such an obvious fake. Rickenbackers are supposed to have twelve strings, not six!

:)

Some expert will come along here and ease your mind. Why do you suspect a fake? The only thing I see that seems "off" is on the jackplate there is usually writing in black letters. RICK-O-SOUND and STANDARD. Maybe yours rubbed off.

It has that the photo is just bad XD It's partially rubbed off.

Idk, this is my first time buying a rickenbacker so I wasn't really sure what to look for and what not.

Yeah, the number being hand scrawled inside is perfectly normal for a largely hand made guitar. Looks real to me...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

that serial number does belong to a 360 BBR.

Never mind what Richard says. Send it to me. It's a fake and needs to be properly disposed of.
