Can anyone confirm whether this is a real Rickenbacker?

I can't really be sure of anything based on 3 internet pics but I have never seen a fake that had both truss rods.

I noticed that, too. If I hadn't seen that, I would've passed it over without a second thought.

This is the only thing that makes me think it MIGHT be real..... I`d still steer clear, though.

The headstock looks pretty genuine, too. One last thing that makes it a bit more believable to me is that it's entirely feasible that it's been raided for parts, since Rickenbacker replacement parts (esp. nameplates and tailpieces) are ridiculously expensive.
Would you still steer clear at a price of say, $200-250? I've already got a the pickguard and electronics for it.

It's sketchy for sure but I just can't imagine that a fake would have 2 rods...
See if you can get a pics of the back...it looks to be neck thru but a few more pics would be even more helpful.

Pretty sure that's the case. You have to send in your old one in exchange.
Unfortunately, someone did the buy-it-now for that listing, at only $340 or so. Hopefully I spared myself some headache and heartache by passing on it!
