I've had one of these though this isn't my old one as it wasn't meddled with - these are quite nice fakers.

A chap in Leeds was advertising a Hondo 11 bolt neck, got pulled Tues I think. Fire glow. If anybody is interested, pm me, I kept his email address.
I can not speak for him, I don't know him so that would be up to a prospective buyer, just trying to help anybody with this particular strain of gas :D

That one is in the 'For Sale' section here, without pictures (despite the fact that it doesn't appear to infringe any of the Rickenbacker trademarks).

Surprised the Rickenwaffe haven't spotted these however very wisely no reference to the name or headstock pics.

Both didn't sell, both relisted, both shot down in flames.

I just scored these, they are both having bridge troubles, luckily, I have those repro bridges. I'm probably not keeping them both.

They were Craig's out of Who's Next then, nice going Mr. F.
Think they were on a several days mini tour Ash.

That's him. Actually they are in kind of a state, both bridges fudged, one has had a fairly bad refret, so bunch of work and parts to go into them.

[quote]NOT just another copy but fine collector replicas of some of the coolest vintage guitars and basses of all times[/quote]

Wha? Not a copy, a replica, even though it lacks anything in common, and also true to original spec, without having any common elements.

A rather nice John Birch starting at £599. Marked for death with the R word in the title though...
