That's a big-time outfit. The boys at Rickenbacker don't take too kindly to that kind of stuff. They are a litigious lot.
There are a couple of brands doing Ricky knockoffs at Thomann, and I already have another (which I am now selling) from another shop. Seems whatever these shops are doing, it is in line with the law, kinda like Fender or Gibson-shaped copies. The price, €229 is about 1/10th of a real Ricky 12er. No way on earth could I justify the real deal. I wouldn't play it enough, and besides, the neck profile of a real Ricky would be too cramped for my hand.
