- Rino88 latest video from Guitar Factory in central China. We can make any style guitar including; Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, and many more. In this video you can see many manufacturing process involved in making electric guitars.
As a buyer of Chinese guitars, I've noticed great improvements over the years. Because they're now using precision CNC lathes, intonation isn't a problem like it used to be a few years ago when string lengths were often a tad too short to tune well. As always, I replace the tuning heads with locking ones; the ones that come with their guitars are cheap and poor quality. Pickups are usually okay. Bridges, which use to be fairly sharp and break strings in the old days, are buffed and smooth now. Fret work has also greatly improved; they don't stick out like razor blades anymore. I've played shows and recorded with them. No one ever complained about their sound.
Love all the safety precautions, especially the guy on the jointer
from the sole working progress, this is no different than the gibson factory.
really no bad working conditions. the painting /exhaust thing, is pretty good set up in this factory. atleast to me.
this guy is wearing a dust mask, which is not a proper protection against the toxic fumes he is indeed breathing. unfortunately this poor guy is going to get sick real fast.
Ido Tavori
yeah and as far as I remember theres a ventilation sucking the fumes straight out. second thing is, even if people have the opportunity to wear such masks, there are many guys spraying without them. in germany US. everywhere.
Ido Tavori
please watch the gibson factory tour and look at the painter. praying WITHOUT any mask.
This factory has no dust collection system in place, all saw dust collects on the floor, fans seen are for employees as it probably extremely hot working conditions, so fans just blow dust .
Listen to the audio - they are using a water based non-VOC finish system.Teal'c From Chulak
We don't send single guitar orders to USA. Only ship big orders to USA.
Our market is Europe.
Seems to me that there is a lot of work going on that could classify these as handmade.
Very old topic but. Eastman is in China too and they are handmade ua-cam.com/video/-1UWnuo-PmQ/v-deo.html. Godin is in canada they not consider themselves as handmade ua-cam.com/video/9ker5s2tAKU/v-deo.html both are very good factories. But this one is a real nightmare I don't know the brand they produce for but they just selling pieces of shit.
Wjat is the brand so I can see how they sound im.in usa and might want one more hand made then a epiphone or even a gibson standard non special guitars are
As long as Gibson and others want to way overcharge for a Les Paul $3000-$5000 for some, bring these on..If you've never played one then you don't know ! I had absolutely no problems or concerns with the Left Handed couple I bought...really makes you see that your spending upwards of 70% and more just so your Guitar has a "legit" Gibson on the headstock.
I agree, guitars are not collectable assets or a exclusive sport like "golf" people want affordable good guitars with reasonable electrics so they can actually play them not hang htem up on a wall like mules
These are what instruments made completely by hand look like.
All the so-called top manufacturers like G and F buy this stuff. Who the hell do you think buys a million guitars a year. I worked for a company in London that made very expensive bathroom accessories. They would buy tons of tap and mixer units from Italy, strip the chrome thus removing the Made in Italy stamp, and replate them. They were sold at a massive profit as "Hand made by British Craftsmen" Wake up and smell the money.
yea, F may buy this crap and label it "affinity" and throw them in a box with a amp for 200 bucks but that's it bruh...even the 300 dollar squires are better products than these ive handled both.....
Most all companies that make good low priced guitars are using CNC machines. I also do not see any hearing protection. just a thought of labor practices
Unbelievable, huge difference between the Gibson, Fender and PRS factories. That's why you pay more for an American production vs Chinese. I certainly respect our custom Luthiers of course. Nothing like a quality, hand made guitar, by an experienced Luthier. If you are serious about your guitar, buy one like I did 35 years ago. I played almost 30 Les Pauls before I spent a months salary, in person, at a Music Store. A used, Les Paul Deluxe. She still plays like there is no tomorrow, and the tone is sweeter every day. I have her maintained by a Luthier. And oh, by the way, she's worth almost 30k today. So it is almost as good as money in the bank.
i have no problem with the way these guitars are made. these workers seem highly skilled at what they do.
Problem isn't quality when talking brands like Ibanez, Epiphone, Fender and so on. Problem is work conditions and ethicality, how many hours need to be worked to make X amount of money vs how much per unit is sold to customer. I hope that Ibanez do things right.
I'm not going to lie, I really enjoy watching them work on these instruments, they seem like they really care about good quality! Are these guys still around by any chance?
Could not agree more with Jonathan M here. These guys are doing a grand job and busy at it as far as I am concerned.
People! Hearing Protection! What are you thinking!
Thank you Rino88 we love your guitars in Europe🙏
The bottom line is there are a lot of guitars being made here. That means a lot of people are buying these. If they are, as so many here say, junk, they won't be in business long. I particularly like the "luthiers" who want to build 3-4 guitars a year and bitch and moan because nobody will pay 5-10 grand because they hand sanded or carved a radius with a pocket knife instead of using a router. Talented players make a guitar sound good, not where it was made.
+nitetrane98 HA, awesome point.
+nitetrane98 I would love to see Eric Clapton trying to play mine.
Rock on 🤘
The laminated Plywood that they use is cured with an epoxy in a heated press, Is durable, resists temp changes. The neck is more stable and in some cases the tone is more bright. Samick makes 90% of the worlds guitar bodies and necks. They sometimes get sent outsourced for assembly in the USA or Mexico. Washburn was an example of this...The orient has been making musical instruments for thousands of years before the Europeans. The expense that is added to the cost is when the guitar has binding, custom pickups, custom hardware or passed through the hands of a Luthier for a few hours for fret work and final finishing. That is the only difference between a $1000 guitar and a $200 guitar. Learning on cheaper guitars how to finish fretwork, crowning, leveling and polish will make any guitar play amazing...Save yourself some money. Watch some you tube vids or take a luthiers course. You will reward yourself with a beautifully playing instrument and pride that you can do this yourself.
Badass .... Amazing work.
Great video
Grandma mary
1:18 Dude is making a guitar in a suit... A suit! Pro.
Gotta give to 'em that these guitars look like they're made by hand. I bought a Korean Fender Strat; had a problem with the bridge wanting to shift and drift on me, turns out the body was made of plywood that had rotted and dried out. replaced it with an Alder body bought from Carvin; I still have it.
ready for the pawn shop!
Fascinating look inside a Chinese guitar manufacturing facility.
They have learned a lot very quickly. The quality of the products is very good and getting better all the time.
muito bom!
amazing to see
This is a really interesting comments section. A lot of debates going on about different aspects of guitar manufacturing and prices. Far east vs American quality and prices. One could spend hours here.
AWESOME VIDEO MAN......
Do you also build custom designs? I mean like in big quantities?
Interesting to see the inside of a factory.
Thanks for making my Squier strat. Hahaha
I'd love to walk in there and have them build a guitar for me to my exact specs.
do they only manufacture bolt on guitars?
better than what I can make at home!
amazing....
Damn amazing really...
您需要制作这些吉他，而没有着名的标志将它留空，那么你需要像日本人一样做，他们不会发明多，他们使事情更好，你的吉他是好的，但需要花费更多的时间在安抚调整和整理所有关于如何吉他琴颈感觉当你玩任何本地的吉他手时，会买到正确的真正的吉他琴，这样你就可以把你的吉他制造商的东西与它进行比较
I'm waiting for the Chinese replica corvettes. Shipped to your house for $1000.00. Title and all
Dont joke, that may happen.
Hrigh Quarity!
I'll take a '63.
General Motors says they make more money in China then they do in America and they’re actually selling more cars in China and they may actually give up on the American market maybe they’re going to move all their production to China I don’t know I wish they would not but the way the world is nowadays you just don’t know💰💰💰💰💰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@ViridianG The use of Chinese manufacturing is an attack on the Western world started by Politicians who are working for Globalists who want to control people. They are eliminating jobs by using China to produce everything that the Western world made with pride, thus forcing people to be dependent on the Governments, which will eventually lead us to a point where we will have nothing. The day will also come when we won't even have access to Chinese products, American, British, Japanese and German goods will be something out of fairy tale.
I own 4 Chinese guitars at the moment. 2 telecasters & 2 acoustics. No complaints.
No eye protection. No hearing protection. Completely inadequate ventilation and cheap cloth masks being used while handling dangerous chemicals. Gee, I wonder why it's cheaper to manufacture there...
Why you mention Gibson's factory?
I've worked in worse places in England and there are plenty of them
I get that with acoustic guitars. I'm struggling to see it with electric guitars.
it would be interesting to make two identical electric guitars one from ply and one from natural timer and have a sound off.
i made a light hearted comment (a joke) a few days ago. i enjoyed the factory tour, i did wonder about the workers and conditions. you provide work for many people this is a good thing , i hope you continue for many years to come.
I have ordered a few guitars from china, and yes they have been copies, but to my supprise, they have been of verry high quality.
One of these guitars was a Gibson Ace Frehley Les Paul, i ordered it with an ebony fingerboard, and obviously it seems due to that, that more attention was paid to the guitar, its beautiful!!
I have much respect in chinese crafts and art which date back for centuries.. Their manufacture of guitars are proving more and more to have fine construction and playability, with a good choice of woods.
Wow I love that EG-10 guitar. Wish I knew where to get one.
where did you get this?
2:06 nice finish work on the frets
@oddtimeman Gibson has said on many tour videos that their wood comes from Madagascar and the drying process and basically nut to bridge how they are made. Prs are the ones who are very secretive about their woods.
I watched this video...
...then watched the "PRS Factory Tour" video:
Now I think my american PRS is cheap.
Thanks!
These factories in China turn out so many guitars, every house in the world must have at least 6.....
At :59 they do look like plywood. You can see the laminated layers
Do they make Chibson?
is chibson these guitar?
good job thanks for china :D
Am I the only one in this world that builds guitars by hand anymore oh wait a minute I'm sorry Pablo I know exactly how you feel
It’s so amazing to see how bare bones this factory is but they’re still doing all the hands on work and difficult stuff as they would do at the fender factory.
I hope these people are being paid right because their skills are important but often mistreated/over worked to the max like us at the factory
You can clearly see in the video when the camera passes by the unfinished bodies that their not a single piece of wood but it looks like a bunch of layers of wood pressed together as in particle board. I bought a guitar kinda like these and that's exactly what it was, particle board.
I hate that type of body. There's another name for it that escapes me. I want to say laminated but it's so particle boardlike that name wouldn't fit. Lol.
It's plywood.
raze101 Most if not all of these shops use 3 pieces of mahogany for bodies, especially the LP copies as its much cheaper to produce a guitar this way. Nothing wrong with it , I doubt anyone would ever notice the difference in sound but that is why these are 10x less expensive. Sure you need a good setup, fret level and polish and ultimately replace the tuners and electronics but even then you are still in the lead on costs. They are Chinese builders and their craft is getting better and better all the time.
actually, a plywood body is beyond infinite more stable than a single piece body.....that's the reason plywood was created in first place. So the moisture in the air doesn't affect the wood.
In fact, today guitar necks are made like "plywood" out of 3, 4 or up to 7 pieces of wood glued together, to improve the tuning stability.
@@AndGuitar my recent LP chinese purchase features a solid mahogony ONE piece neck and body it is a real gem and flawless..AND plays and sounds BETTER than my real Gibson....I got tired of Gibson and Fender fleecing me...and for the record I had to do exactly everything to those as you would a CHinese replics...new Pups, setup and ALL of them needed fret work...my bud bought a Gibson Custom shop SG toally unplayable and is just crap....back it went and they replaced it with an equally shitty insturment...6000 Vs 200....not a hard choice..I laugh when these guys say they will never sound as good as the real ones...that is a huge misconception and totally not true..my new Replica sounds and plays better than the real one. AND it is a tad bit heavier than my real LP.
Are these Chibsons?
Could someone please answer this? We have a Les Paul built in USA and one in China. The 2nd one costs 6-8 times less than the 1st one.From where does this difference in cost comes from? Is it because wages are lower but the quality (assembly, electronic parts, wood...) of products are same or vise versa ???
Epiphone1978 lots of contributing factors, the cost of living is higher, the companies like Gibson and Fender want to make a huge profit, the Chinese guitars will likely come with lower quality and cheaper components. If you want true Gibson quality you have to go Custom Shop which is well known today. That cost for a CS guitar is set so high to pay for the rediculous amount of time in order to produce something of that quality. Time = money and again, they want a huge profit. If Gibson produced guitars that weren't plagued with quality issues in all their lineup of available solidbodies, they would be back on top again. Meanwhile, people are doing their research and moving to new, cheaper vendors and some of those are from china.
do they still sell |Rino88?
A good video to learn from. Looks like plywood and no truss rod, am I correct?
Hey factory !! for each guitar made, plant a tree !!!
ey... good work!! but What is the name of this factory?
i wanna buy many of this guitars
Ed Roman guitars...is it here?
Hand made?
considering the amount of necks theyre making, they must be extremely skilled. practise makes perfect, must be second nature to them
What factory is it?
Cool video. Decent guitars for the dollars. At least a good starting point for self customization. Keeps us poor boys playin.
Are these being made for manufacturers or are they the ones you buy on Ali Express?
there are a bit too many to be sold only on aliexpress right?
Man these guys go to town with the router lol
yeah, our fearless leaders don't care. china wouldn't even be where it is without western involvement... china is the new factory with so many willing slaves who do it cheaper... thank banks, politicians and religion... yes all 3... they currently boom china while bust everywhere else... can't blame the chinese for stealing our slave status... they want work too and food on table.
Is it just an independent factory that churns out copies or does it have contracts for known brands?
have contracts for known brands
@@Rino88dotcom what guitars are made there?
Bravo
what brands are made in this factory?
Gibson, Fender, ...
Why are so many people against these guitars?? i own a squire and an ibanez and they are PERFECT!!
I have an epiphone sg les paul custom and an ltd strat-body; both made in china. I'm quite pleased with the wood quality and cut! The epi of course is made with solid mahogany just like an american gibson sg. The ltd has an alder body and maple neck. I don't like the cheap stock pickups you get, but on e-bay you can get fender or seymour duncan sets for about $100. otherwise I like the guitars and play them a lot.
my only critisim is....it appears some of the guitars are being made from plywood(NOT ALLof them I SAW THERE) and fillered over. i'm sure those were extreme low-end kids models but just wanted to point out.
do you make any replicas by order?
Not for single unit orders.
sweet ill check it out :D
Why, so I can see the bodies cut by CNC machines and the imported parts assembled onto the guitars?
the price starts from how much
Well I now know where the superman guitar I saw at Six Flags was made if I popped enough balloons or something...
were can i order them?
sympathic guys, looks like good working climate and top products...
The guitar I got is made with a combination of "Ashwood" (body and neck) or some wood that has something to do with ash, Mahogany on the front, and rosewood fretboard. Costs a fuckload though.
All very good. With a knowledgeable and correct "set up" they will play and sound as good as anything made. Precision instruments. Not hand made which I class as home made!!
it was SX Guitars right
@Ugly Bunny Without this form of production you wouldnt have your guitar (if you have something that comes out of a factory that is) The waiting list on fenders, gibsons or prs would be far too high.
is the global market not saturated with all these guitars being made?
there must be at least a dozen firms churning millions out every year!
yum - plywood!!!
i forgot to mention that im talkin about the wood. of course you do need to change the electronics to get it near to a gib standard
This doesn’t look all that different from the old videos you see from the fender factory back in the day. The eyes are a little squintier but thats about it, really...
i bought an ESP LTD alexi 600 worth around $1500, made in korea.. 2 frets is not level 2 frets have same note/pitch, its a good thing we can refret guitars..
I'm waiting on mine to be shipped right now...... hurry up already over there! (cracks the whip).
how do I contact the owner of this business?
7:42 I have seen so many counterfeits with hacked up neck pockets, routing ect...The fine details are not even close in a lot of these
I worked at Fender from 90 to 94 ,
Parts were vended from whoever could meet QA and meet deadlines.
Turning the parts into a Fender was a recipe made in the US and outsourced whenever somebody could complete the recipe to the company QA.
I would see parts come in not only from China but South America as well .
Japan not so much .
They had standards that had to be meet that's pretty much what you're paying for .
There was a time not too long in the USA when all you needed to make it was a will to work hard every day. USA workers built strong neighborhoods where families could thrive without fear of theft or violence, where each looked out for the other when times were good or not so good. I remember a time when the USA was thriving, from the smallest town to the largest City. We have gone from Thriving to just Surviving in my short lifetime and this mainly is due to the loss of our Manufacturing Base.
Where do I order them? Please
you seem to know well what you are talking about. I buy and travel to China since 1995 and being told by various factories i buy from that workers are actually hard to keep bound to them for a longer period. Workers communicate among each other by SMS and drop their tools instantly whenever they find a job that gets paid higher. Chinese factory owners have to provide many "gooddies" ahead of time. Fair to mention that in former times workers had to wait up to 6 months before they would get paid
Gibson Les Paul & SG Zoot Suit models are plywood. And Gibson Firebird & Thunderbird models are multiple plies of mahogany & walnut.
