Don't appreciate the price or the relic-ing, but that's my favorite Rickenbacker looking guitar. I like pretty much all of the variations I seen on this guitar while being annoyed at the distressing. Tele bridge and pup with a P-90 is a combination that's hard to find fault with.
 
I really wish Fano would make non relic'd guitars. Not that I could afford one anyways, but I really dig their guitars (I love the MG6 with a Bigsby).

They do, but the most popular models are relics.
 
Get rid of the relic job and slim down the headstock a bit (it looks too bloated to me - visually it's unbalanced) and I would love it. I like the idea of a Ric/Tele mashup, and I like this particular reworking of the Ric body shape - though part of me thinks the lower horn should be a bit more rounded.
 
4500 for a guitar that people will think is a product from the site that shall not be named.

Where do I sign up?
