Is there such a thing, and how would you spot one?

Anything possible, but I've never seen one. Ever.Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions. -
ibanez made some pretty close copies in the 70s, but i wonder if they'd be much less than a used rick at this point, being lawsuit models and all....Comment

There is a company that is making high quality import copies. I will see if I can dig up the info again. I saw a "ric" 12 string on craigs list until I read the ad I would have sworn it was real..Haters gonna hate

A friend used to have a Univox 4001 back in the 70's, and it was nice enough. I agree the Ibanez ones would be pretty damn expensive these days! Maybe Agile makes something like that, but I'm just guessing here...Courtesy, Integrity, Self-control, Perseverance, Indomitable SpiritComment

I've seen he Fernandes copy, but in all honesty if I was to get a Ric 4001 (or 4003 - whichever one's best), it'd hafta be a genuine Ric.
Can't believe the prices on them on Ebay, though. Probably because I'm still stinging from the one that sold locally for $275 a few years ago - and I passed it up

I got a 4003 in midnight blue from Musicians Friend 2 years ago for $999 shipped in case...you might want to "request quote", as they're cheaper new than used...very strange market...Originally posted by Newc View PostI've seen he Fernandes copy, but in all honesty if I was to get a Ric 4001 (or 4003 - whichever one's best), it'd hafta be a genuine Ric.

As for imports, John Hall is so insanely anal and protective of their patents that I would HIGHLY doubt he's ever outsource overseas...that being said, they run a great company and still turn out a great product that is reasonably priced (at least for a high-end guitar!)

Cool, thanks. Didn't wanna pay USA price for a non-USA model just because a seller wasn't up-front about it.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
