Don't know if RIC's aware. I've seen these first hand, they suck.

For an indie company, they sure aren't very original. |

Korean made, repped in UK and Sweden. There's that spaghetti tailpiece again. |

What I hate is that the fake parts get circulated. I got burned on a bridge last year. |

I love it - that model's called the "IRK5". Someone should let them know that their product irks a lot more than five around here.... All things considered, though, at least that one LOOKS like a Rickenbacker, as opposed to some of the inexplicable "Rickenbacker copies" that have surfaced on eBay lately. |

David raises a good point, and it's just another good reason to NIP IT. |

People bother because there's always a market for cheap knockoffs of legendary gear. If you read the manufacturer's poop sheet (pun intended), it lists the pickups as "hums". I wonder if that's 50 cycle or 60? I guess it depends on where you're plugged in... |

I reiterate my feelings on the spaghetti tailpiece; anything would be nicer looking than it. |

I think some of these companies are under the impression that...."people make fender copies....but the headstock is different.....so we will make a rickenbacker copy and make the headstock different and itll be nice legal" |
