[@KingRiverVlogs]

Crimea River the show is based on what actually happens, some small changes are made. And when people bring items in. They sell the items, call experts. And the deal is done. And then they film it after the fact

It's a gib sun.

[@dylannavarro6283]

Lol gibson has terrible quality control now

[@Stangil1]

Yeah thats why they hold their value so well, dumbass.

[@glitched100]

Stangil1 You are a fucking idiot. That's why they are laying people off.

[@darkjta]

they actually do currently have pretty poor quality control now a days thats why theyre going bankrupt if you look at physical models not just the ones on their website from the past few years you can notice small details such as the logo being of or divits in the wood on the necks or the fret inlays being slightly off its small details like that that have driven guitarists away from them

[@wearemanyyouareone7596]

Stangil1 that’s why they’re going bankrupt because no one wants to buy their trash ass guitars anyone who knows about guitars will tell you Gibson fucking sucks

[@petera.michaelsen4657]

poor quality control? says someone who probably doesn't own one

[@TheDude4077]

That's rough man, pretty obvious fake too. As soon as he put it on the table I knew what it was, that's the standard Mitchell budget Mando you can get for like 150 at any Guitar Center.
