checked Ishibashi and Ikebe, no dice under 1500. Never had to pay a lot to get a good instrument, my P/J is a perfect example... Totally sick, MIJ, got it for about 300€
changed the pickups and it's a keeper! Just perhaps looking for a different look, feel and sound for some songs
The budget fake ricks should be perfect for that. One question that is yet to be answered is the scale length, i'll ask on FB in the first church of amplifier worship where some member have them and love them
I'd be much better off trying to buy a Thunderbird (i might lol, I really like those)
Rickenbackers are 33.25" vs Fender and new Thunderbirds which are 34", it's like taking your PJ and tuning it down one 1/4 step.

oh yeah I figured that out, it's just that I'm not sure whether the counterfeits are also 33.25"

btw.... here is the link to that monogram company. They sell directly off their website. You could probably email them. Looks like they have a ripoff of the amp dan armstrong that I'm about 100% convinced i want.
