    cool guitar man. People sure get bent out shape over Chibsons, but the more hate I hear the more I want to get one for myself and make a project out of it. For the price, even if it's not playable, it makes a cool wall hanging. From what I've seen these guitars are getting better all the time and with some work can be great.

    Good looking axe man! I've bought a few of these China knock offs and with a little upgrading and a good setup they are actually pretty dang good guitars for the money. Anyway, congrats on the new axe and looking forward to seeing more videos on it and some live stage videos. It's DEFINITELY and eye catcher and will look spectacular on stage under the lights.

    Looks pretty cool bro? I own a few of these "Chibsons" and they're nice guitars,
    after you give them a little love & attention! Swap out the pickups, tuners, bone
    nut, level, crown, and polish the frets. Then give it a nice setup, and you'll be good-to-go?
    Bought mine for 250-300, you add the parts, a hardshell case and the grand total still
    came out to about 550-600 dollars? I love mine, and gig with it all the time, and so happy
    with the finished product! You'll be glad too? Hey, after you make the few changes you still
    spent A LOT less than an actual Gibson? And isn't that what it's all about? Spend
    less, play more!

      I agree, friends, I bought a Chender Yngwie Malmsteen guitar, it resonates very well, I already bought a Fender shield, an all-electric Dimarzio, the 3 Dimarzio HS3 and HS4 pickups. The sound will be practically the same as the original. I already have an original Fender Malmsteen from 1998 to compare the sounds.
      Years ago a friend of mine built a Fender Partcaster Malmsteen and we compared the sound with my YJM guitar, and it was practically the same thing, for a much lower price. What matters is playing.
      That annoying guy, Rod***¥, must be a fake Gibson employee or Just a redneck fanboy, that guy is a joke, it's funny that he defends these brands that just want to sell a stick with a string and charge a lot. Better to buy a cheap stick with string. Kkkkkkk

    Beautiful guitar, I love Chibson's. I have one for $310, and it's absolutely beautiful and with a few tweaks and upgrades, it even plays better than the original. So good that it looks like $20,000.🔥 hahaha. From now on I will only buy a Chibson, it's fake but who cares, as long as it's cool, and it has a logo of the elitist🤭😂, I will buy it in a heartbeat. Chibsons rules.🤘

    Don’t listen to all these haters that think they know everything. I have three and I gig with them too. Yes you do have to upgrade them but it’s not a big deal. Put whatever pick ups you want and put some LOCKING tuners bear minimum and you’ll be able to gig it with your band no problem.

    Pretty sure they shoot those grittiest with Heavy poly and not so much
    laquer. Working with glitter can be very persnickety to smooth without going through finish.
    But my philosophy anything from C,,ina,,,look good but will need a full set up to make spec worthy
    Simple fret lpolish and level check would make fast work of that,,,jam on brother🤙

    if it's a chibson, then it's already widely known that it was only made to kind of look good, and from a considerable distance. That's the whole marketing; that's what 300$ gets you. Did you think there was some kind of unique magic to cheap Chinses knockoffs that all other guitar makers just don't realize?
