I've wanted a combo 600 for a while, but the ones you posted don't look like combo 600s. Is there a model that does? May be interested.

Fano makes a guitar with that body shape but it doesn't have a horsehoe pick up

I get the feeling if I looked hard enough I could find a real Rickenbacker for less than what they're probably asking for the Fano

Yeah I always liked those supros too.

The Combo 600 is beautiful but to be honest unless I saw one sitting in a shop for under a grand I probably wouldn't buy one.

Lollar used to make a horseshoe pickup and then he stopped. I read somewhere he got the smack-down from Rickenbacker, don't know if that's true but he doesn't offer it anymore.

Well those are worth a whole lot more than a grand,closer to $5000 or more and the Combo 800 and 850 go for $8,000 to $12,000.
