Rickenfaker being sold as a Rickenbacker

[BigBassBob]

Hi guys, I'm not one of John Hall's goons but I thought I'd bring an auction to attention:

He's selling what appears to be a Japanese Rickenfaker as the real deal but you can see clearly from the bridge saddles and neck pickup it's not a Rickenbacker.

Just wanted to give you guys a warning as I wouldn't want an innocent buyer being ripped off.
