Seen pics of it before, and can only assume that it's a one off specifically for Mr Winger.

 

I like it, and I'm surprised that they "got away" with it.

I like it too. I imagine the one off nature, with no selling to the masses , got them a pass.

Retrovibe got away with using a version of that shape for a few years befor Ric sent the 'cease and desist'.

 

Rickenbacker don't have the right or the means to order the destruction of copies all they can do is get the lawyers to tell the offending manufacturer not to do it again.

 

And since the departure of John Hall manufacturers such as Harley Benton seem to be testing the perimeter on what they can get away with again..

This is interesting. Kip Winger, former pouffy-haired 80's hard rocker has a Spector I've never seen before, can't find it on the Spector site either.

 

No cease-and-desist issued yet?

This was custom built for Kip at the Euro factory (NOT US custom shop) as a STRICTLY one-off, organised by Stuart Spector before he sold the brand to Korg.

 

This won't be produced for public sale. Sorry...
