Sure 'tis pretty. Would you get that exact one though, or another, made to those specs. Would any of this be a problem?

A thread worth reading:

Actually, when I saw this my first thought was if only they made a 12 string version. I sold my Danophobe mostly because of the stigma, and I probably won't ever spend Rickenbacker money on a niche guitar I'll only use on special occasion. I also love the look of this but don't think I really need another 6 string.

May think it over for a bit and message the seller to see how much more a 12 string version would be if it's even something they could do.

Tbh I reckon it’ll be okay with some work done.

Resell will be shite though.

When I sold my 4003 copy I kept getting the listings pulled by those insecure pussies at Rickenbacker.

Brand Name: Human
Suitable For: Professional Performance

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me :lol:

In all seriousness I'm sure it's about the same quality as the Gibson fakes listed on the left (which aren't bad), but personally I can't support buying such a blatant fake. Except I kinda would because of how Rickenbacker are dicks about copies yet refuse to put out anything for people on a budget.

It looks lovely though.

The Rickenbacker CEO is such a bad dickhead that I endorse these copies wholeheartedly.

Reading about how much of a dick he is makes me want to buy one for that reason alone.

He's such a fucking shite.

That's really rare as a Rickenbacker, if they ever made any at all.

There's a 480, which is like that but with no body binding and dots on the fretboard. That one is a 481, but the ones I've seen all have slanted frets and big humbuckers.

A Kasabian fellow played a Rickenbacker like that one
