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"
