I have this same Chibson replica. I changed out all the electronics and put Seymour Duncan Antiquities in it. Put reliced bridge and stop bar piece on it.

I have a Gibson & I see nothing wrong with this. Gibson prices are ludicrous… plus what’s the different between a chibson & a “luthier/boutique” brand that just copies everything but the name

[@mikeglazierisntfunny]

That's a good point, my issue with it is that they don't say "replica" and have the Gibson logo. But really, other than that why is it any different than all the other big companies making very obvious Les Paul type single cuts? Hell, even Slash's iconic 59 was a replica and that's what brought Gibson back to relavant status for hard rock and metal players. It certainly wasn't the quality of Gibson production in the 80s and 90s that did it.

[@johnfoskey7855]

The "luthier/boutique "will be a high quality instrument probably costing more than the gibson version

[@CorSmit]

I guess the difference is; One’s a cheap, counterfeit knock-off, and the other is an instrument built by someone who’s put their heart, soul and possibly life savings into, with the intention of building you their very best guitar

I've had a Chibson for a few years. I don't think it's as nice or as good quality as this Greenie but, I finally got around to doing a fret level, re-crown and polish yesterday. That's improved it quite a bit. I also have some locking tuners, and quality pups lying around, that I'm going to fit at some point. It's never going to be my #1 but, it'll be fine as a practice/backup guitar. I think the quality of Chibsons have generally improved a bit in the few years since I bought mine. Your Greenie really does sound good 👍

[@jimwoodard64]

I went to your channel and gave it a listen. Then I listened to a bunch more videos. You nailed it! That Gibson Les Paul Tribute Gold Top you have? Best guitar tone in your arsenal. I caught that one in your Boys Are Back In Town live video from 2020. I could tell the playing on the solos was you, not because of imperfections, but style choices you made during them! For goodness' sake, when you played Free's All Right Now, I thought "he's playing with the record and his guitar is turned down." But no, because when you went to do the high part and nailed, and I do mean flawlessly, the bends I was convinced I was right until you changed up the way it was played ever so slightly. Then when you went into the open A, tonally it differs because he plays a different shape using the A note on the lowest string rather than adding the B and E strings at the 5th fret. He plays it kind of like a G shape moved up 2 frets and uses the lower strings. But that said, it's the ONLY way I could tell it was you! And that's cool, because it's a choice of style and preference and sets you apart as an artist and player. Final Countdown, nailed it! Boys are Back, nailed it! Hotel CA, nailed it! Need I go on? Your Chibson sounds a ton better than the one in this video. It's attack is harsh and the notes have no tonal variation. It's typical cheap p'ups and pots that sound lifeless. That's coming from a guy who has four authentic Les Paul guitars. Rock on!

[@stevegardiner8473]

@@jimwoodard64 Wow. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I generally only hear (and wince at) the imperfections in my playing, with the odd, occasional exception 😁. You seem far more knowledgeable about guitars and music than myself. I just enjoy playing, and if someone else gets something from it also, that's a huge bonus. I'd actually commented on your 'Freebird' video a couple of weeks ago. It's takes some cojones to launch into something like that, unrehearsed. Is it your lead vocal on 'Wanted dead or alive'? Great job. Subbed to your channel. Thanks again.

I bought what was supposed to be a Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates Les Paul, and they sent me this exact greenie with the Gibbons signature on the back of the headstock :D - I was pretty impressed with the build and look of the guitar, so I decided to keep it.

[@bmp-2267]

Gibson is in Gibbons. He should come out with a signature model with headstock that says Gibbons in Gibson script.

[@MRTHUDTV]

Looking forward to part two. You probably know this, but just in case.. Dont forget to flip the neck pickup magnet or reverse the wiring on that pickup (not just turn the neck pickup around). I have several of my guitars including a 3 pickup Les Paul, set up with out of phase options and its worth doing.. and then spending time adjusting the pickup poles and heights which helps add (or reduce) emphasis of the out of phase tone. You can really dial it in, by doing this and of course dialing back the vol a little on one pickup. Then additionally if you go for say a 47uf cap on the neck you can get some Boston like cocked wah tones to!! Fun fun fun! :)

[@SteveSterlacci]

Part 2 is up!

[@geraldpinkerton6412]

They have certainly come a majorly long way since I bought my first chibby about 11 years ago! Back then the cutaway was always off & the hardware placement was always off a bit too. You could expect non potted pickups, crappy tuners & an Epiphone style bridge with split screw top studs. I’ve purchased several over the years & in the last 5 years or so they’ve really got the body shape & hardware placement down pretty good, some even come with fret nibs. Most sellers will give you a well cut bone nut & a US “style” Nashville or “ABR-1” bridge upon request. But now they offer nitro? No way! I’m assuming the pups came waxed since you’ve already performed with it? Looks great man!

[@That70sGuitarist]

The real magic of Greeny isn't due to the pickup flip, but a magnet flip. Back in the 80's, Gary Moore handed the guitar to a famous guitar tech named Jol (who later founded a famous high performance guitar company) and told him to "see what made it tick." Jol wrote that the original factory solder was still holding the pickup cover on, which means the magnet flip happened at the factory, rather than as an aftermarket modification. Peter Green originally claimed that "there was nothing magic about any of his guitars," and that they were all just as they came from the factory. Many years later, after goodness knows how many LSD trips (not to mention all those shock treatments) he changed the story to "I did the modification myself." You can choose to believe whichever story you like, but I'm more inclined to believe the earlier "nothing magic" quote, since the factory solder holding the pickup covers on was still intact. Either way, nice score on a sweet tribute. I may have to reconsider my earlier position on "Chibsins."😉

[@SteveSterlacci]

Yeah man! Gibson was also making stereo guitars like the ES models that were out of phase with one another. Its not crazy to think in the 50s, one or 2 would get mixed up! There supposedly are a few out there like that

[@That70sGuitarist]

@@SteveSterlacci Don't forget that the Gibson L6-S also came with switching options that included magnetically and electronically out-of-phase humbuckers, with its sealed Bill Lawrence pickups and six-way rotary chicken-head knob. I actually had one back in the late 90's with an ebony fingerboard, and I still regret ever letting it go. It was a very versatile guitar! Also, JoBo bought a '59 burst a few years ago that also had the neck pickup reversed magnet from the factory. Either somebody at the factory was asleep at the switch,, or they did it on purpose because they figured players might like it.😉

Yes, part 2 would be cool. Is it an actual flame maple top, or veneer? Even maple cap with flame veneer would be cool like Epi is doing now. I tried this several years ago with a Chibson White LP Custom. I wanted to use it instead of my real Gibson LPC's, but it was a real POS. Felt like it was made from old pallets.. Even after I changed parts etc., it turned into a beater guitar at best. Fake customs are harder to pull off I guess. Good luck with the upgrades.

[@MrBallsOfficial]

I just ordered one of these and this video has me more excited now! I’ll probably carve Chibson™️ into the back of the headstock haha. Totally gonna upgrade the electronics. As long as it can become a good player if it isn’t already the electronic upgrade would be worth it. Hype.

The only issue I have with Chibson is people selling it as fakes. Though, when it comes to LP shapes you can only choose between Gibson (too expansive), Epiphone (not enough choice imo) and Tokai (nice but expansive). If Epiphone would have as many choices as Chibson for a good price then Chibson would die. But I have a feeling it kinda serves Gibson because people tend to buy real Gibson parts to mod these anyways.

You could just by a regular R9 or USA standard 50s and put a set of Duncan green magic pickups or you could take the custombuckers and replace the A3 magnets with A2 magnets and flip the A2 magnet around for the neck pickup so it's out of Phase . Remember despite what some believe simply turing the neck pickup around does not put it out of Phase.

My Chibson Greeny arrived this past weekend. In all honesty for the $340 I paid for it, I'm really impressed with it, and it's a bang for the buck guitar, even with all the sub par parts on it. It surprisingly has a 1 piece mahogany neck that feels really good on it. Upgrade the parts/electronics, and get a good setup and you will be good to go! A few things to know if you are thinking of purchasing one of these. -The finish is not a lacquer finish -The relic job on the face of the headstock looks pretty cheap in person, but is an easy fix. - And my only real gripe, is the pickup routes are bigger than what you would see on an actual Les Paul, so you will not be able to use, U.S. or Gibson M-69 tall boy pickup rings.

[@kylepainter1384]

Where did you get yours?

[@ctcards2636]

Intonation is the name of the game on these. Some are next to impossible. If you buy one of these do so thru a ebay seller who stocks these in the US. Then you can keep getting guitars sent until you get one you like. But i have to say ive never gotten a bad one of these and they keep getting better. But the frets usually need alot of work and the intonation and nut have to be confronted. These are a lot of fun to learn how to do work on a guitars and some of them are def worth the effort. Just dont go pawning it off as a real one, remember folks Karma is not always a pretty ol lady. But for you who cant afford the real deal. First thing i do is take the guitars apart. Electronics, tuners etc. Then straighten the neck. Check frets. Bone nut. Replace bridge with tone pros. Shockingly some of these have wax potted pickups that are not too shabby. Tuners. But once again i would do some research and only purchase these thru ebay where you have a 100% Money Back. But if you get a good example of one, just put the right parts into it and take your time with the frets and you will be shocked at the results. I own real Gibsons and these are just getting ridiculously close. But there are more of these that are BAAAAAD than good. So a little research goes a long way and choose the right seller.

I own real Gibsons, but some of these are so close its scary. I like to have one of these around and see if anyone can pickup if its a fake or not. 90% of the time no one knows. Ive given away the other 2 I owned and they go on to live happily played lives. Upon each new one i randomly buy they have indeed gotten better and better and some of them play incredibly well for guitars in the $250 or less range. I dont pass these off as real Gibsons, but they are real guitars. Ive seen some of these have better quality control than guitars costing 5x their price. Because each of these has gotten better, i dont think its easy to figure them out. Because just a few years ago they were still waaaaay off on certain things. Well those things are magically starting to appear on these closer to the read deal. I love my real Gibson guitars, but i wont buy another. These guitars are close enough when done right where i just dont see the point in spending the crazy $ on a Gibson. Ive played thousands of guitars and these recent guitars are jaw dropping and meanwhile Gibsons have been so hit or miss in recent years in build and quality of the woods etc. Nothing will ever beat a real Gibson, but for the money you can save to "almost" have that now makes more sense and even less sense in attaining the actual real deal. Gibson has and will continue to produce amazing guitars but i wont be limited to any of the big names overall anymore. There are so many skilled people out there making guitars these days, so theres no shortage of places to look. But Gibson needs to strike a deal with having like a Gibson Import series or something and finally slap Gibson onto a NON US made guitar. But that would make too much sense seeing that everyone else is doing just that. Bu Gibson is continuing to be innovative..... I guess after youve spent the amount of $ I have thruout the years on Gibson guitars, you dont feel as bad haha. I still love my 90s Les Paul Classic Plus tops.

Great video! I would love to mod one of these as well. Would you mind sending me the link of where you bought this? Thank you.

[@frenchsaligan3601]

may i get the link for the same guitar you bought it from? i would like to buy the same guitar for the same reason.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Check out the facebook group Polaris 4 Music and they can get you there

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Hey Steve, what are your thoughts on P90 guitars? I never tried a guitar with P90s or Mini Humbuckers? Can I get your thoughts on them? Thanks.

[@hunterscott7592]

Looks great, sounds great!

[@SteveSterlacci]

Thanks Hunter. Its a pretty great axe!

[@maxsilver894]

Its so far off in the appearance to the Greeny from a relicing perspective and the pickups are not reversed, Gibson logo was not pearloid, overall looks too new for the appearance.

[@SteveSterlacci]

It ain't perfect that's for sure.

[@SONSOFANARCHYRCDRIFT]

can you please let me know where you purchased it

[@davidmurray9193]

Id love the zkk wyld confedate relic, not politicaly correct but a cool guitar for sure

[@tomdecuca3627]

It sounds good to me!! Especially for 400 bucks!! Can't even buy an Epiphone that cheap!!

[@SteveSterlacci]

Yeah its really not bad!!

[@jonlennon3348]

Do another video? Then tell us where to get one and how much all the other gibson stuff costs.

[@nathanielgore8662]

[@oBIGTo]

Do you have a link to the seller?

[@alamakluke]

I was looking at buying the same Chibson as Gary Moore is a idol of mine as well. You would you be able to share the exact one you bought? Who was the seller? Thanks in advance. Looking forward for part#2.

[@SteveSterlacci]

There is a fb group Polaris 4 music that has that info

[@geordieblanker]

Can you please let me know what seller you bought this from iam really struggling to find one this good thank you

[@SteveSterlacci]

If you are located in NY or nearby, I will sell you mine from this video with all the upgrades...

[@nikrobshaw7636]

Nah, why does it sound so good? 😭

[@SteveSterlacci]

You should hear it after upgrades...

[@liys540]

i think vintage brand is the best option as a gary moore fan . but for me , i would go for fgn neo classic ( les paul style )

[@SteveSterlacci]

I have played a vintage version! I wasnt crazy about the painted on relic

[@liys540]

@@SteveSterlacci me too .

[@charliemauntroy3059]

Chibsons can be really good if you replace everything, I’d say they can be just as good as a real Gibson.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Sure would be hard to pick one out after upgrading in a blind audio test

[@eddiejr540]

Mod that puppy…big thumbs up to a part 2 vid!!!!

[@markrosenquist8259]

It sounds pretty good. And looks great. The Chinese have been really doing a lot better with their replicas.

[@dbenadon]

I want to start by saying I own Grote and Firefly guitars so I am not a guitar snob. I do think it is wrong to buy a counterfeit item. It keeps that end of the market going and there are plenty of great, low cost imports without the copy right issue.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Thats okay David! I understand its not for everyone. Its more the aesthetic of my favorite player as the reason I wanted this. The prices for a relic Greeny replica are criminal and take advantage of their fans (greeny, moore and hammett). If there was a fairly priced gibson option, I would for sure do that instead

[@kinghubie68]

Do you mind me asking who the seller was, what store... Great video thx🤟

[@tonyepley3299]

Could you pass on the link? I would like to purchase one thank you
