I'm wondering when John Hall (CEO of RIC Int'l) will come down on them
like a hammer. He might not get the job done seeing their solde direct
from China. I kinow that JC Penney tried to amrket them about 4 years
ago, and Hall's legal team put the ka-bash (or, K-Bong!) to them in
short order.

Rickenbacker is very protective of their trademark[s] and people that
try to infringe upon them.

that's one reason that if you see a "Ricken-faker" on Ebay, the
auctions usually get pulled down pretty quickly.

Fender is marketing a "Jay Turner" model "Strat" in the US. I looked at
them yesterday at the local music shop I frequent.
Guitar and little Peavey practice amp is $199 dollars. The guitar is made
in China. Paylessguitars.com lists a similar Fender for $170.

My Gibson Les Paul has a MSRP of about $3793 on the Gibson website. $210
on paylessguitars.com.
