Looks like a Rickenbacker.

Either that or a Japanese ripoff.

My vote is for the real thing. The quality of the case and the chrome plated horseshoe pickup look like original Rickenbacker to me. Did they sell them with non-adjustable legs or do you think they were added on later? Looks like it might have been repainted but it's hard to tell from the picture. Here's a similar model on ebay:

Yes, Rickenbacker, late 50s, early 60s. Probably repainted.
