Hilarious. Is he trying to pull a fast one or does he really not know?

Message 'em, let 'em know. See what happens. Usually people who try to sell copies know they're copies, they just don't know it's not okay to sell them. Rarely do people try to take obvious lawsuit era fakes and try to pass them off as real. But it happens.

I’ve messaged the seller. Its baffling they may not know; I mean it’s not even a very good copy of a Rick, never mind a 1970 one.

Reverb has been full of illegal copies recently, and, they've stopped removing them as well.

Wow the filled 6 neckplate holes on a neck thru bass seem comical at best.
Glad they yanked it.
