Chibson Flying V vs. Chibson Les Paul Custom : Affordable eBay Guitars 2023 Review

Disclaimer : At the beginning of this video, you'll notice a comical parody that references Chibson guitars. Please be aware that the script has been altered for comedic and parody purposes. This usage falls under 'fair use' as it is intended solely for humor and satire. Chibson and Dewy Cox are not affiliated, and this video is not endorsed by either party. Enjoy the laughs!
Welcome back to our channel for an exciting look at Chibson guitars in 2023! In this video, we're presenting two of our newest arrivals: a Chibson Flying V, currently priced at $296.00, and a gold metallic early 50's style Chibson Les Paul, available for an incredible $250.00, both found on eBay. Even more impressive, both of these outstanding guitars were in stock right here in the USA.
The Chibson Flying V showcases exceptional quality with what we believe to be Korena wood, exquisite gold hardware, and Kluson tuners that enhance its visual appeal. Meanwhile, the early 50's style Chibson Les Paul pays homage to vintage design cues, featuring a sharper horn and ABR-1 style bridge. Both guitars were impressively set up out of the box and look absolutely stunning.
Stay tuned as we'll be back soon to provide a demo of these affordable Chibson guitars that perform and look like high-dollar brands. Chibson quality has made remarkable strides in 2023, and we're thrilled to showcase these outstanding instruments. Don't miss out on the Chibson revolution!

I'm from Brazil, real Gibsons here costs almost the price of a good car, alie express had made me collect almost every guitar model I've dreamed of! Luthier's services are really not that expensive here, so these chibsons are heavy sent! I'm buying an Explorer this week, and then a new Les Paul next month. Your channel is awesome, keep up with the good work! Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.

[@FultonStreetBeats]

Thank you so much!

[@Jaloja]

Here in the USA a large percentage of Gibsons are bought by some as decor as wall hangers by people that consider them selves collectors and some don't even play. Which I am sure Gibson likes that. Its their money and they can buy them for whatever use. Most people can't buy everything they want here either. I have a few "genuine " Gibsons and to be honest if it hurts to buy it then it may be harder to see it live up to what ever expectation.

[@zxozso]

Is there any specific store you buy your chibsons from ali? I’m on the road to buy a new one, but i’m having a hard time to find e reliable seller. Also from brazil here

[@Jaloja]

If any dealer in your country has them that is the best way to buy. Aliexpress is much better than years ago but its still a buy and hope situation. Somewhere in the transportation chain here the taped foam "coffin" boxes many dealers use are targeted for destruction. The small end is placed on the floor and given a stomp breaking the neck. Whoever you buy from a foam box inside a cardboard box is much safer.

[@ElvisPretzel-rv3bg]

LMAO! Great opener! Ya I remember your hell with your Epiphone V I got real lucky with them with my Wilshire warranty... I want a new Chibson so bad it kills me to watch Chibson videos!!! 😂 I want the Corvette built frickin so bad it ain't funny! We can't afford it right now 😂 I am working my way to building a SRV Charley strat I'm using the white Sonic Stratocaster as soon as my wife gives me the ok to get all the parts and the guitar his was Olympic white but regular white will do for me... my medical problems and the economy broke us to dirt poor were almost caught up and I'll get to building it up! 😂... It's awesome your going through all these Chibsons for us guys who don't care about what people think about buying one it is a gamble yes but if you do your homework to find a good seller selling a OEM one you will be very happy with your purchase that's is a fact.. just watch out there are sellers out there now lying and saying there selling a real factory OEM made Chibson...All the guys who talk bad about Chibsons can go pound sand! It's all about the excitement and experience of getting one from so far away and getting pictures of your build through the whole process is real fun time's it's not to piss on USA Gibson at all all your haters Go pound sand!! It's our God given right to buy what ever the heck we want do your homework folks and buy your Chibsons no mater what anyone says on here about them I get a kick out of the guy's who cry at night about people who buy Chibsons and not a USA Gibson especially the ones who say we're gonna get busted for buying one 😂 that will never happen we're all allowed by law to buy them left and right when ever we want... Awesome sit down FBS! Loved that opener skit Hahahahaha!

[@FultonStreetBeats]

My brother. I'm so glad to see ya back!. I hear ya life can kick ya in the balls sometimes. Keep pushing forward brother. The funny thing about Chibsons is this 90% of viewers love them. 5% are closet lovers. And the other 5% say they hate them but can't resist watching the videos. This 5% have major , cognitive dissonance and cannot accept reality. 😆

[@tapetrails1607]

Got a Chibby LP off Ebay last week. It is so resonant, I mean like beyond any Gibson I have owned and I've owned a bunch. All the way up the fretboard the notes ring out freely with little pick pressure. Tone to the bone. Guitar really feels amazing. Neck is dead straight and plays beautifully with a 59 neck profile that is nicer than 2 of my Gibsons. Weight is 7.15 lbs. Pickups are fine but I will probably upgrade in time. Tuners are Kluson style and are smooth and work flawlessly Guitar stays in tune all day and I bend the hell out of the strings. I may have gotten lucky with this one as I have never tried any others. Contours and measurement are very very close to my Gibson LP. $258 shipped!

[@marine4lyfe85]

Can you give me your vendors name please? Looking to make my first buy of a Chibson, and would like to get a good one.

@@FultonStreetBeats I got your back brother along with everybody else here with me which brings me to the remark that this community should be the biggest on KZbin but the FANBOYS don’t understand that these guitars are basically made out of the exact same wood /It might be made at a different factory using different hardware and electronics / but you’re definitely getting more than what you pay for Most of these Chibsons are usually a Complete world apart from what you get from Who there’re copying

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

Mike, two more very nice Chibsons, you certainly have a knack for getting good quality guitars for a great price. You're also very good at dealing with scam guitar sellers who try to rip you off, it just sucks that they were avoiding you like the plague until you threatened to contact the Federal Trade Commission. I would still be crying over getting ripped off! Too bad about the Epiphone Korina that you originally ordered didn't work out, I love those Korina V's. Hey congrats on all the new sponsors that are contacting you to work with them!

[@FultonStreetBeats]

Thank You Nick. You are always very kind. I hope all is well over in Japan. How cool it must be there. So many guitars to choose from. I have not forgot ya brother, working on getting some cool bass guitars soon. You Rock Nick!

[@klauswigsmith]

LOVE that gold top! Been in the hunt for one lately....fortunately there are other sellers on eBay with better feedback ratings offering the same. Now the question remains....a Harley Benton LP gold top or a Chibson gold top? Arg!

[@markpell8979]

Klaus, in a way, many HBs actually are 'chibsons' since Thomann sources guitars on contract from a variety of SE Asian plants if they can do the job. Even PRS SEs are built on a dedicated line in a Cortec factory. Epis come from two factories in Qingdao, China that Gibson took over for their own exclusive use. Guitars don't care who built them, only customers.

[@FultonStreetBeats]

I like them all. Lol

[@klauswigsmith]

@@markpell8979 Oh, for sure, I get all that. I have no compunctions or hang-ups over where my guitars are made. All of my guitars (2 Epiphones, and a Harley Benton) are made in Asia. It doesn't matter where your guitar is made, but it sure matters who SELLS them. I trust the local retailers where I bought my Epiphones, and I trust Thomann. Do I trust some eBay seller based in China with customer feedback ratings well under 99%? I dunno....they seem to have a lot of happy customers, but there is a risk to buying a Chibson that doesn't exist with buying known brands like Epiphone and Harley Benton who back their products.

[@harv9328]

I've been thinking about getting one of these gold tops. Could you recommend some sellers on ebay?

[@scottdunn2178]

Natau or NATO wood (sometimes called Phillipine Mahogany) is what they commonly use on these I think. It's cheap and plentiful over there. Agathis is another.

[@sams.4388]

Both the Chibson Fying V's I've received have had baseball bat necks. I've asked the sellers about the neck profile, but they only answer "C shape."Can you tell me of a Chibson vendor who actually has Flying Vs with slim taper or Slim C neck profiles. Or can you tell me of a seller who would at least know which necks are actually on the guitars they are selling? thank you for your videos.

[@FultonStreetBeats]

Cathy Zhong on Facebook. Cathys Custom Guitars. In my opinion, she has the best guitars.

[@Jaloja]

I just received Chibson one of 2 for the week. A 2006ish Les Paul with not so quilted veneer top. Fit and finish is as good as any import under 1K. Electronics are not so great but it is a good guitar and what it needs is expected. Number 2 is set to show up tomorrow a Angus SG.... high hopes for that.

[@FultonStreetBeats]

Please let us know how it turns out. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@MetalMike87]

How do you find these dealers on eBay/Aliexpress? And what's the thought process behing to pick one? Maybe I missed a dedicated video, if not that would be a cool one to see!

[@keivnjones4520]

I have had over 36 guitars in total. From Gibson to, you name it. I have no problem with the China made guitars. And this is for 2 reasons. One. You can get the design you want. And the next thing. Most do not know. Pretty much the color. I have sent off emails. Asked the sellers if I could get it in any other color. And they, for the most part say sure. No extra cost. And best of all. Since I do not play live any more. Just for me. I do not like to spend a ton.

If anyone buys a chibson and gets a record contract with a band. Then becomes famous. And makes a music video with one of these Chinese guitars.
