Could it be a 360 that someone changed the hardware and pickups on?Its not the typical Fakenbacker because of the neck and 5th knob.Any ideas?

Defineatly a faker. The headstock looks totally wrong to me to be real.

It's a decent copy of a 360 body but the rest is way off. Look closely at the inlays and then compare them to where they are placed on a real Rick 21 fret neck, notably at the base of the neck. And the headstock is a joke.
