So the 250$ Chibson is better than the other two way way more expensive guitars in certain areas... that is mindblowing. Now I would never buy a Gibson just cause pricing is out there and Epiphone is dead to me as all 4 Epiphones I had over the past few years all had issues that should have made b-stock. Find me an 3000$ ESP with that binding job that Gibson has and Ill eat a sock so even if at some point I will be able to spend that kind of money on a guitar, Gibson aint gonna be the brand Id be looking at. Ended up here cause Im looking to buy a 250$ Chibson and drop another 250$ in it to make it perfect! It is what it is Gibson aint getting any of my money probably never. Also this comparison is not ridiculous, and the way I see it, all these 3 guitars are copies of the real Greeny. The video is absolutely great for people who want to maximize value for money and ofc what that might be is subjective to each of us.

I don't think that this guitar is a scam. It's being delivered, and people are buying it for collectible reasons, they love Trump, or for reviews. They know it's not actually better than a $300 guitar. It just has some gaudy graphics. Perhaps not as gaudy as those gold shoes, but... What I do think is that it's rather disgusting. Trump claims to be "America First." So why not have it (or his even more disgusting cash-grab Bibles) made in America? The jury is out on where this guitar was built (China/India/Indonesia, etc.) but it wasn't built in the states. Yes, his profit margins would be less, and the final product would cost more, but how about having some f'n integrity? How about supporting an American guitar manufacturer? The truth is, Americans talk a big game about buying American, but if they can save some $, they collapse and buy imports. And that's fine...there are some great imported guitars. But to slap some bald eagle graphics on a cheap guitar and profit on it whilst screaming "U.S.A., U.S.A!" is a cash grab, and in my opinion, disgusting.

The biggest ethical fault is Gibson charging 2-10,000 for a POS. I have owned many and through 40+ years of collecting have determined many Japanese Manufacturer made better than Gibson for less.I would buy a Chibson, why not, Freedom of choice. If you want to blow yourself while playing then buy a Gibson. I recently bought a Chinese scalloped neck, the Quality was phenomenal, so there you go. Satin finishes can be buffed to a shine.

Awesome review and I just ordered one. I will have it on display and try hard to resist playing it to keep it mint, but most likely play the hell out of it. I just think it looks so cool with the Egale and American Flag, but the selling point is the inlays, that says it all and I'm not even an American. I find the coments so chidish but good for a laugh.

If you enjoy working on guitars and upgrading and modding them like I do then this is a great guitar.The neck is absolutely awesome

I just got a an Amazon return for one of these I really couldn’t find problems out of the box, did you return these to Amazon. If you tweaked mine thanks. I had no scratches, and the strings were nice. LB

Just another rump Griff

Made in China and not worth the money. I would compare it to a cheap Epiphone cus the bolted neck. 3 piece body with a veneer top, body alden or cheap mahogany. Electronics China. If you´re not gonna play it and hang it on the wall or just put it away and expect high value in a collectors view. I´m saying this as an guitar buyer, seller and collector since the last 30 years

Do any of them actually sound like Peter Green's original? Guess that's part 2.

Great job! Thank you 👍

Looks like good value…….compared to his $100,000 watch at least. 😳

All have 1 distressed Star. It was done on purpose.

awesome video idea

The next guitar will have swaastikas and musk throwing up nazzzii salutes

This is clearly a $150 guitar and everything that goes along with that. Bolt neck, cheap tuners and electronics. As a collector's item, who knows, but to me it has no other value.

Memorabilia of the end of America! It has nothing, just like the empty mind of its namesake.

Inlays are totally awful . The grabber Les Paul .

I remember when you could buy a genuine USA Gibson Les Paul for the price of that Epiphone

The chibson is all well and good, but why would you buy such a nice looking guitar if you can't be seen dead with it?

They should build it, or set neck or one piece.

They appear made in India. Complete Junk. Grifter Shit.

Lol that is a peace of crap . I can buy the turd any time for $135.00. Bolt on neck is cheep and a glued together neck is junk it should be one peace of wood . The hardware is junk

I mean you wait a few years you will be able to get these at estate sales and garage sales for nothing lol

Today companies don’t give a sh!t about quality, call it the Chination of America. China produces crap, poor quality and it’s influenced American companies, they can now do the same and this allows for max profits!

Even if it wasn’t a trump guitar it’s still ugly as heck 😅

Great review....I have many gibson les pauls...just ordered my first chibson to upgrade..mainly because of the bones of the guitars made there...I also own a few Burny les Paul's from the late 80s that are fantastic guitars..I will follow your page for the upgrades you do..but my chibson has P90s in it..

I call it: _"The Uncle Scam Guitar"_ 😂

this video deepened my appreciation for guitars in general tbh

where did you order your chibson?? i want one. Ive seen fake gibsons but not a real chibson.

That's one guitar that is not on my bucket list. 🤣

Spell Amerca Right Again. LOL

No sound samples, just blah blah, WTF?

There's nothing wrong with Ceramic Magnets JEFF BECK PLAYED THEM MOST PRO METAL PLAYERS USE THEM. A LOT OF HIGH END PICKUPS ARE CERAMIC....

I'm still wondering if he really signed the expensive ones. Guitar MAX has reviewed one and I would guess the signature is underneath the clear coat. I also looked up the photograph of the donald signing one of the specimens; it seems real because you can see the reflection of his fingers and tie in the guitar, very shiny because it already has its clear coat. You can't see him actually writing on the guitar because the protective stuff around the strings has been strategically left on. You just see him holding the marker. To be honest, it would surprise me if the signatures aren't just a reproduction, sold for $ 10,000 a pop.

All that patriotic crap is just so tacky. No, I don't want a guitar like that specifically because it's tacky. You want to show people you're patriotic? Join the military. With that said, Trump didn't design these guitars, he just bought them up for his latest scam. So, it might actually be a decent guitar but that's in spite of Trump.

Ok it's 150$ crap guitar for crap maga peoples

It's sad to hear how the Gibson company has declined. It's the story of many American companies: prices have gone up, quality has gone down, and the company just doesn't want to hear it.

He tried his best to find good things about a cheap china guitar.

You've been far too kind. This is a $200-300 guitar with a vinyl sticker under the clear coat, and print out. I spoke to an artist friend of mine, and he could hand paint, or airbrush a guitar top for anything between $100-300 with a unique design. Factoring the cost of the guitar and the refinish you could create a more unique "trump" guitar for half the price. Factoring in labour costs in the far east, I am pretty sure they could they could have had the tops hand finished and still turned a profit. As a collectible I can't see these having any value. With the lack of any real identifiers they will be incredibly easy to replicate. You could probably even contact the OEM and get them to make you one on the qt. This will make the market a minefield. What's disappointing, is they could have actually done something unique and authentic. A different body design or a hand painted top, or even both.

If you're left handed the Chibson is the only choice

Not a fan at all but it's not my money. I am curious to know how much/how fast that clear coat is going to yellow. Wonder when you will start seeing them on the resale market? I imagine that they are not going to go up in value at least in the long run.

With flame maple, the 'movement' will be lost if the first part of the finish is a stain. In order to retain the movement, the first coat needs to be a lacquer. The lacquer can be tinted.

Nice work here.

The American flag T-shirt with the AR15 silhouette tells me everything I need to know about this “unbiased” review. LOL

"Sticky goo... I hope this cleans off" yes considering the next 4 years I hope so too

I bought 2. One signed.

Excellent Review. Pray for the Haters, they are Very Lost and Brainwashed by CNN 🙏🏻

Nice Video! I do love mine. #314. Super happy I got it. Looks amazing and feels exceptional. Well said 🇺🇸💪🏻

In my darkest nightmares, I stand on stage playing this monstrosity, wearing a MAGA hat. A proper grift, like all the rest of his endeavors.

Nice review that should help many know what to expect. I do have one suggestion. You said in the video you would say who this guitar is not a good fit for. Personally, the galled tremolo knife edges are likely a deal breaker for the serious Floyd whammy guy like me. That may indicate the metal is too soft, which is all too common on these knockoff bridges in comparison to the OFR and Gotoh ones with hardened steel edges that will provide years of service. It would be good to know a bit more. Replacing imported copies with a real Floyd can often be a frustrating experience requiring significant modification as the geometry and required routing may be very different. Would be nice to know this going in. You mentioned you've seen folks retrofit these - would be nice to know how that went for them. A new OFR in this case could cost significantly more than the guitar itself.
