Didn't think Shaftesbury's ever did a bolt on, probably an Aria or a ply Hondo - although the Rickenwaffe were in so quick I didn't get to see it!

Annoying Twit Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Skylark guitars have started making Ricky copies. The bass doesn't look all that good IMHO. But the newly released guitars look much closer: Maybe they'll rework their R style bass to look more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Is that really an Ibanez? The pickups look far too accurate. I thought maybe it was an Ibanezfaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice and will probably get he £400 asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how some of these reach auction end and others get pulled? You are right it has those Grover type 'wavy' tuners and is probably from the same factory that made the Ibanez bolt on type Rick - I think CMI were an importer's (rebadged) inhouse brand, if you look at the pic the logo is clearly a decal on the headstock rather than the TR cover.

There are many variations on the theme the worst being Hondo II the best perhaps the Ibanez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
