It's stated "Not Rickenbacker Copy." I think he meant it's not a Rickenbacker, but a copy. Anyway, I see the confusion. It should have been stated much better. | ||

He should have said: "Not Rickenbacker - an abomination" | ||

An example of what some people will do in an attempt to skirt "trade dress" issues. In the end result, it's still recognizable as a Rickenbacker clone, and probably the butt-ugliest one I've ever laid eyes on. There is not one detail that is right about this guitar, and even on its own, without thinking "Rick", it's terribly ill-proportioned and misshapen. | ||

These things make me appreciate the real thing even more. | ||

That's the first copy I've seen with "checkered binding" though! | ||

Man, that thing is beautiful... Anybody ever play one of these? I wonder if they play and sound as cool as they look. Totally retro. I hope John Hall/Rickenbacker doesn't squelch this one. JKC | ||

Creasy, are you serious? I wouldn't give you $10.00 for this misshapen geek of a guitar. The checkered binding is in two rows; can you see how the checkers shift and go out of synch around curves? | ||

The item location is in W. NY. Maybe that's in my neck of the woods, Western New York. I should find out where it's at, and steal it. It would look great in my friend's fire pit. |
