Well the story about selling for someone else holds some water as the pick-up/viewing address is 2 miles up the road from the address they are offering the same options for the Squier Strat they are selling. The Ric owner has had it for over 30 years.... could they be internet/ebay illiterate and therefore need assistance selling? Perhaps.

I'm going to go with it is what it says it is... a restoration. Who knows what original parts are left.

Chromed sales on the bridge say that's not a Rick one. Tuners are def wrong, an think holes from right ones would show up as those have a small footprint.

I'm thinking that the skunk stripe is too wide, there's no white binding on the body edge, and the top strap button is in the wrong place. Plus of course the non-existent Ricky TRC

Definately a 'faker. The grover style tuners don't say 'Grover' on them, the fingerboard is way too dark (which is the real giveaway).

Pulled by the seller - I hope no-one's offered her a Buy-It-Now price and bought themselves a pup

Most definitely a faker, seen the exact machine heads on a couple of CMIs I've owned.
