Maybe I've lost something in the exchange rate here, but a list price of $925.00? My first venture out of Fenderland into anything remotely Rickenbacker was buying a used one of these on eBay 6 years ago for $225.00, no case. Didn't need a Bigsby, you could just pull back on the neck and....... The pickups were marginal and that tailpiece looks like it was designed by a cake decorator ( my apologies to all cake decorators out there). I was lucky to unload it at $175 and I felt guilty for doing it to that unsuspecting buyer. I even got a glowing positive feedback from him. I would imagine that the guy that sold it to me felt the same way. Never again. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7339327099&category=41439&rd=1 | ||

Nice spotting, Pat. At least he doesn't use the 'R' word. A Tokai is a Tokai. Good boy!! He's got to be joking price wise, though..... erk!! I'm pretty sure the tailpiece is chrome plated spaghettoni number 7........ | ||

"This guitar is similar in look to the guitars made famous by the british invasion." ...and I bet that's where the similarity ends  | ||

yup, you got that right. I'm halfway curious as to what it actually sounds like. | ||

Chinese (perhaps Japanese) imitation toasters - one can only imagine! However, sometimes these things can sound pretty good - like some of the zillion Strat copies out there. |
