aka Me.

I was totally thinking it looks like an Eastwood and a Ric had a baby.

If I got one, it'd probably be the Coquette. Then, I'd have to play Coquet Coquette by Of Montreal every time I picked it up.

I use to be on the rick resource forums, and John Hall said something to the effect of those 2 early designs were stolen way early before they started shutting down fakes. So the tulip and 850 model are both fair game. Fano has a nice 850 copy. There are tons of teisco tulips, too.

The finish and overall aesthetic of these guitars kinda remind me of Supro's res o glass stuff, mainly the attache. not too bad on price, but I'd really have to play one.

Exactly. They should have called it the "Retard Strength."

I think I have a name for my forthcoming Bass Fuzz clone.

Those basses are some of the fuggliest things I've ever seen.

I think they look different enough from Ricks to be OK

I am not too sure about that...

I might be into the "Socialite" if the pickguard didn't cover 80% of the guitar.

Edit: But not at that price.

You guys are fucking crazy. That orange attache is gorgeous.

WHAT ARE THOSE PICKUPS?!?!?

While I agree on it's hotness I think a horseshoe would triple it's hotness! Even if it made it a real PIA to play
