Quote History Quoted:
My understanding is that the Rickenbacker people are prone to aggressively pursuing non-licensed copies or clones.

They are. Bentley made some good clones in the 80's and got hammered.
I have a 360 and I love it, but one thing I despise about Rickenbacker are the frets...they're small and butter soft, and I've tried to avoid beating mine to death. I would love a workable clone I could refit with good pickups and use it like it was meant to be used.
I suppose when it's said and done a refret with medium jumbo stainless would be a smart idea, but I'd still like to have one. There's some Chinese copies that are pretty good looking, but I hate rolling the dice on Alibaba grade stuff, unless it's parts caster fodder.
Agile had that "Harm" model and I was intrigued, but I got my hands on one at a local music store (trade in) and I wasn't crazy about it. Looked cool, just something not "rick" enough for what I wanted it for.
