The 22 frets Rockinbetter's are better made and now have a double action truss-rod and it works better than the older single action truss-rods, really good bass for the money, I added the switch-tone control to the bridge tone pick-up and it now has the vintage/modern sound and its really worth doing that mod.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: scotland | | | have found out that Rockinbetter and the one sold in Australia that it rebranded Reblerocker is made in China,
the factory they are made in is the Tokai China factory, that produces all the Tokai China made Guitars.
there is a film clip of a factory tour and near the end of the flim there is a guy playing a Ric copy Rg43, the strange thing is that Tokai don't make a Rg43 but Rockinbetter/Rebelrocker do and if you check Jade Australia and look on there Tokai Guitar site they have the film clip there too. under vintage you find Rebelrockers, the 4003bass and the RG40, Rg43guitars.
its seems our Rockinbetter were not made by Tokai but only made in there factory. strange how they don't know about it!!!!
