- A review of my experience since receiving my 2021 Chibson Les Paul. Overall, I'm not sure I would recommend it if you are looking to have one guitar that sounds and plays well. However, if you are looking at one as a project guitar, they could be a fun option.
Be sure to check out our growing range of pickups from JF Hummer Pickups at jfhummerpickups.com
what makes me mad is jerks will sell this as a real Gibson, to someone that has no idea what they are getting.
i got scammed out of $1500. learned everything about gibsons and will never make that mistake again.
Owning several, I can say, everything you note can easily be remedied and you can actually make a little screamer out of that guitar. The biggest issue 95 percent of the time is getting the neck playable and comfortable to your liking (cutting your fingers on frets and dead spots are the common problems). It can be accomplished with time and patience. Secondly, pick up a Nashville bridge. Hell! They even make Chinese versions of the Nashville bridge for like 10 bucks on Ali-Express (intonation issues all gone once installed). Thirdly, put a bone or graph nut on it. So worth the money in every way!
Sadly, both my American Gibsons (ES175 and a 335) have nasty alignment (drilled) on the tuners. Gibson has a bad history of releasing many guitars over the years with crooked tuners. I once saw a $6500 J200 Cowboy Edition with really, really crooked tuners. I shudder to this day to think someone owns it and is okay with it. There are so many decent affordable tuners you can install yourself that will cover those original holes, then just align to your standards (everyone's standards...straight).
Lastly, a decent set of Semours or you might really splurge and go classic 57s so she can sing!
I totally agree with you regarding the sale and ownership, however. They are for you and you enjoy working on them and messing around with them. So... so long as they stay just yours... or you inform anyone interested ( buying or admiring) that they aren't what they seem to be... all is fine and dandy in the world.
Agree with everything you said here! 100%
Finally an honest review. Thank you John. I've worked on these budget knock offs for years and said the exact same thing. Can you tell me if that one came with an engineerd wood fret board as well?
I bought a Chibson Les Paul in Black Friday times and I've been very lucky. Nothing to regret. 230 dollars to get a sort of Standard sound. I own an Epiphone Les Paul Limited Edition, I can recognize a Gibson Standard sound, and nothing sounds kind of Standard in my Epiphone Les Paul. On the other hand, my Chibson really does. It is crafted with real mahogany wood body, rosewood fretboard. one piece body, one piece neck, decent machine tuners. The strings height is pretty decent and playable after a fret leveling. I installed Gibson's Burtbucker 2 and 3 pickups, switched pots, electronics and I can hear that Gib. Standard sound in my Chibson that's not present in my Epi. I think you need to invest more than 170 dollars to get much more from a Chibson. Have fun with you can get and keep rocking on!
There seems to be some confusion and distress among some of you watching this video. So, I thought I would give a friendly acknowledgement of some of the things that seem to be bothering some of you about this video (and I assume all the other Chibson videos out there). First off, it is illegal to sell counterfeit products in the U.S. It is not illegal to purchase counterfeit products for personal use. Anytime that I buy a Les Paul style guitar made overseas (regardless of what name is on the headstock) it is not stealing any business from Gibson, because they are different from a Gibson. For example, when I purchased the ESP EC1000 hanging right next to my Chibson at the moment, I bought it because I decided it would bring me more joy for the money than a Gibson would. In reality, it would be easy to argue that the EC1000 is far closer to being a Gibson than the Chibson is. Given the fact that neither will be leaving my possession, the EC1000 has done more damage to Gibson than this Chibson did. I purchased this Chibson to have an excuse to practice leveling and crowning frets, relicing, and potentially other modifications that I wouldn't have the heart to do to a nice guitar. I made this video because I thought it would be fun to share my experience with the Chibson with others.
Ghibson are made in Epiphone factory by employees who want to make ends meet because salary is a misery in China
Obviously Gibson has been aware of it for a long time already
Don't think of it as a fake, think of is a a replica. China has shifted gears over the years and started making replica's. However the more you pay for a replica the better the quality, same applies for all their other replica's, watches, clothes, etc. The less you pay the lower the quality.
@@andrewenglish3810 It “is” a fake because it says Gibson on the headstock.
First you said “I would never sell this guitar” only to be followed up with “if I ever were to sell it”. Haha! I’m pretty sure if you get caught selling a counterfeit you could face felony charges in the US. And it’s not a knock off, it’s a blatant copy/counterfeit. If they put their own logo on it that would be fine, but they won’t make as much money doing that I suppose.
@@darineller6768 It's a "replica" all replica's have the name of the original maker on it. Clearly you missed that when you were in grade school.
I can't quite tell, but the location of the pots/knobs in relation to the stop tail also looks a little off. Is that right?
You might be able to flip the saddles around on the strings you need more movement from. This is a common thing needed during a set up even on real Gibsons.
I just purchased a "Chibson" and was looking for different videos and reviews on these guitars I did purchased mine from a reputable shop in China and so far I was impressed but I just wanted the experience being a Gibson owner and player and I love to modify guitars so it was a win for me...
@@Amp_Expert yep, you're right! I have 11 guitars through AliExpress & Dhgate. All play well, a couple I've changed out the tuners & pickups and am very happy.
I had the same intonation problem with a guitar. Solved by buying another bridge that was wider, so you got a little more room to adjust the intonation of the guitar.
Sometimes you win and Sometimes you lose when buying a chibson. I bought one just because I wanted to see what they were like against something like a harley benton. Mine was almost flawless apart from some of the frets had lifted slightly but in the middle as it has fret nibs! I done a fret job and swapped out the crap elections and p90s and its actually a nice guitar to play ( its a gold top p90 ) only other thing I might change is the tuners as I hate the green buttons and the bridge to a better quality one. Think mine was £220 ish deliver to my door in 6 weeks. Would I buy another 🤔 yeah to hang on a wall and play now and then but not to play another time.
Tripped toes in here... Stayed for the humor of the whole thing. Hilarious
Well, I think that the intonation issues can be fixed with a better quality bridge.
My 3 pickup chibson Les Paul custom
With the bigsby is incredible
These Chibsons appear to be a hit and miss with respect to quality control and craftsmanship. I found a Les Paul 60 burst copy (no fret nubs, 60 shaped neck and flamed top) at a thrift store with a cracked neck for $40. I bought it and glued the neck back with some titebond. After changing the tuners, installed a bone nut, replaced the pickups with SD's, and dressed the frets it turned out to be an excellent playing guitar with a very nice sound. When I pulled the pups I noticed a solid maple cap and the distance between the nut and bridge is dead on with a factory Les Paul. The best part is that the headstock face is completely black with no logos. I think some film might be on top to cover what looks like a very faint logo, but the all black headstock is just fine with me.
6:56 that’s a thin binding in the cutaway which exposes the maple cap. It’s a historic feature in gibson’s terms. I think the Gibson Standards and traditionals 2018 and before that didn’t get that. I know for sure the modern/original collection now has the thin binding instead of the thick one
My 1992 Gibson Les Paul Classic has that feature
I ordered 2 LP style guitars from AliExpress. 1 was pretty much flawless the 2nd was really rough and needed a lot of fret work and and a big truss rod adjustment. I also replaced the bridge with an ABR-1 with a adapter for the posts. Much better. I should mention I ordered mine with no electronics as I knew I would never keep the garbage pickups and pots.
U
Hey bro, can you tell me if got engineered wood for a fret board or the real deal? Thanks
Right on brother I actually own three lp copies the woods are great I always install the Epiphone pro bucker wiring harness my chibsons don't have the Gibson headstock or logo
Are you in the states???? How did you get it here!!!!
Lol at them _still_ canting the headstock logo. (One day they'll figure that one out.) But that continues to be the easiest way to spot a Chibsum (as I call 'em) from across the room. The lol is because they burn "Made in U.S.A" and a serial # on the back of the headstock and then put the logo on "crooked." (Can you spot the historical irony there?) But if that actually bothers someone, _given the price,_ it's probably time to do an "internal bother check." Of much greater concern are the things one should look into addressing _anyway,_ with any guitar, regardless of price: fret work; neck relief; the nut; possibly changing out pickups and pots, etc.
I own a cheap (Korean-made) Ibanez I bought new(!) for 120 bucks back in the day that came with superior fret work and a wonderfully comfortable neck barrel, and I've come across (and owned) much more expensive guitars in my travels that came with lousy fret work off the shelf. ...A fret rocker is your friend and comes very cheap. (And yeah, I own three Chibsums and love 'em.)
I have 6 Gibsons, from a Historic les Paul R8 to an SGJ and love them all. I wanted an affordable version of an R4 Les Paul so I bought a Chibson since there is not other option. The guitar is a DIY, it has no electronics or a drilled bridge, I was trying to avoid issues. The guitar came in and it is terrible, quality is somewhere between a Maestro and a low level Epiphone. Many folks think that putting better parts on these guitars will get them to Epiphone level and that is just not the case. The body on mine is 100% basswood with the grain runniing diagonally, 2-piece with a veneer (you'd think they would pick a good looking veneer but nope) they did use nitro as I requested but it has lots or runs and thick spots. The neck heel is completely wonky. I knew the guitar would not be great but I am underwhelmed. I paid $275 thinking I was getting something upgradeable but that's not the case.
I tell everyone that has asked me; it’s fucking CHINESE😒 What do they make that’s a quality product?🤔…NOTHING…it’s all shit!🇺🇸
I bought mine as a Project for 2020. I thought: Hm, i wanna learn how to crown/level frets, want to try a few different electronics etc etc.
But my Guitar out of the Box was really good :D
The only thing i had to do was level the frets. I even checked the Pickups for the Epiphone Logo and as i took em out i saw that mine had a real Maple Top NOT a Veneer which is insane for about 300 Bucks...
Definetely will change the Mechanics because after about an hour it slowly starts to go out of tune and i wanna use it as my backup on stage.
But yeah, i think it depends how u communicate with the seller. Some speak bad English and some understand you well and ask if they can change something or if you have any extra requests. I was fairly lucky...
Most every youtube vid I"ve seen pull a pickup shows they give a full top.
Gibson is actually known for crooked tuners, nuts not being cut properly & various other QC issues. But does it intonate properly? If so, considering what was paid? I can't say I'm for Gibson being on the headstock either that's why I, bought a Greco!
Smash it!!!
If I were to sell my real Gibson Les Paul I'd have to state to the buyer "This isn't a real gibson les paul, its got all the design flaws fixed." That's why I consider it accurate and nice that they stamp "MADE IN USA" on the chibsons, knowing we're going to put more work into it here than they did there. Similar to how every guitar shop guitar will have the nut and action too high, that's so you can set it up to your preference and don't need to add material back if you wanted a higher action say for slide guitar or whatnot. But the plastic they use is very cheap. Also Chibsons don't come with that abysmal nitro finish so that's always in the Chibson's "pro" column.
I once bought a Chibson thinking that it would be a fun project but the guitar was so badly made I just gave it to my brother who hangs it on the wall as decoration.
Link to purchase?
Thank you in advance
Why not get some decals made to cover the Gibson logo?
Good job man, you have made a great video andit is very well presented, however, maybe don't start by said that would never sell the fake on and then go on to explain what you plan to do when you sell it, but again great work overall.
Part of your intonation problem (saddle travel) can be compensated by recutting the net. It almost sounds like your nut is cut with the string termination/contact point too far towards the tuners.
99% of the time the Chibons bridge posts are located/drilled with a template during manufacture.
I’ve worked on many of the Chibsons and IMO the main issue is too green of wood used for the neck and low quality (soft) fret wire used.
That said I do have a couple that after much work are really pretty great guitars for their cost .
Like I said, recut your nut with the purpose of shifting the string contact point as far towards the bridge as possible.
Or a zero fret.
He just put that nut on so I’m almost certain you are correct.
At first I was thinking he could flip some saddles (not the entire bridge) but thinking since every saddle is all the way forward, it’s probably that.
That guitar isn’t as bad as he thinks.
He definitely needs a different amp though! Sounds like he’s plugging straight into a pedal and recording.
Can’t even tell if the pickups he put in sound any good or not.
@@allthings1150 Agreed
A $20.00 roller bridge works very well.
DUDE! I just realized to fix that guitar awesomely you MIGHT be able to just add a ZERO FRET. Worth a shot, if it works, its SUPERIOR to the original even if it did intonate! If its only a bit of space to get the zero in, it probably won't foul the other frets too much, or at least a way to split the difference.
Which seller is the "best" of the Chibsons? I'm looking to buy the best p90 LP Chibson that money can buy
Yes?!!!!?!!
Jugg is who I go through or AC_DC
@:28 I spotted the Lotus.....cool. I collect old stuff like that, cool....
Congrats. You just BROKE THE LAW.
Is there a scarf joint? Kinda looks like a Bourbon burst to me. I'm certain you're aware of having to do fret work on MANY new guitars.
have you tried SX LPs? , they kick ass!!!!
You buy in what site?
Replace bridge with a Gretsch Melita bridge - much more adjustment room - I have several high end chibson (350-600 range) bought in 2018 and 2019 and they have all been great - most needed a professional setup which I expected - finish on them was beautiful - I've been happy with all of them
Forgot to mention I bought all mine through ebay - no problem with the purchasing process - good commu ication with the sellers
Pretty sad. Wasted money.
Then dont buy one -
The Firefly is a better option imo..they are generally pretty decently set up..bone nut...cool for a beginner intermediate..as is imo...Get new pick ups...and the firefly are really nice..
Where can i get this
i had all my guitars stolen twenty years gone i have a hlarry nightmare that was hard for me to afford so to get something that is up to my playing ability would be a godsend
Try mod tht fretboard by adding a zero fret. Shud be enough to compensate the intonation problem.
My Chibson was absolutely terrible! Mines not stamped made in USA on it. Luckily! Thanks
I made a chibson out of a broken epiphone. The neck was so broken, it was unrepairable.
It clearly is not a gibson lp but i made a tribute to g l p.... by chiseling out the Epiphone neck & putting in an over seas two piece neck & i put a gib logo head stock... it is kind of an art piece in my place and i keep my good guitars hidden... it sounds good for what it is.
kind of like wearing a fake rolex.
I have 3 chibsons,, desert burst, 6 years old gold top 2 years old and black beauty 2 months and they are all from different sellers and are all now very comfortable good sounding guitars.
I do re wire them myself to 50s style ,, push pull , or what ever I desire. Which I enjoy, this is my Hobbie.
Also I think people need to learn how to string a guitar properly , if done right it will lock and stay in tune.
By the way the black beauty has the original bill lawrence pickups from 1980 and it sounds crazy good. I need more chibsons because they can be made to be better than an oem over priced gibson with ease. End of the day,
You are comparing an apple from the same orchard ,
One from the shop and the other you have to walk into the orchard and pull it off the tree yourself and then polish it before you eat it. For far less 💰
Where do I get to but on from Ghana 🇬🇭
Link please!
I dont know why you say they can never be a great guitar. I laughed when i opened mine too... because how good it looked for how cheap it was. Fretboard is straight, body is solid and actually very resonant so if you polish all the frets, put all new electronics in it, set everything up right, you can make it better than a real one.. I just got one for $100. and ordered 350. worth or parts for it.. Comparing it to my $3k real one.. I like the thicker chunkier neck on the chibson better and i think it will be better when im done... than the stock gibson.. They are very good foundations to build on... I wouldnt expect it to be golden out of the box.. I did a comparison vid on a real one and this one.. these are not a bad deal at all.
Carved top ?
Keep it
Flat tops RULE for me , the Red P90 Epiphone ,,, after I dress the fret ends and round over the fingerboard edge
Would be my favorite of your Herd
You did good for 170 dollars. You’re going to have to put wood plugs in and re drill for new bridge placement
Thread adapters are available on ebay
@@slagmaggot He's talking about changing the placement of the bridge. Thread adapters aren't going to move the bridge closer to the neck to make the intonation right. Unfortunately, wood plugs and re-drilling is the way to go.
I heard the plating on those guitars is thin and rusts quickly . You don't have to look far to find a nice guitar in the US.
All these reviews have the 'unplayable' parts replaced. I'd like to hear how bad it sounds out of the box.
Why? Would you not buy a classic gibson that some idiot had taken the hardware from and replaced with junk Epiphone hardware if it were very cheap and just put the correct hardware back in it? You'd just sentence it to being the quality of hardware you got it with?
@@snap-off5383 I'm not saying he shouldn't replace any parts sooner or later, just that I've never heard a Chibson out of the box.
@@davemckagan635 I'll make a vid of mine I have the pickups from a gibson les paul axxess and cold war era shaler tuners to go into it but I haven't done the work yet. It still has the "chicken pickin'" gauge strings on it that it came with. The pickups sound OK, a bit weak and are very microphonic. The tuners are worse, they are geared weird, you turn them a little and the note changes a lot, kinda the opposite of what you want. but the fit, finish, frets, are all gorgeous, and really better than gibson because it doesn't have that abysmal nitro laquer finish that never dries and absorbs dust.
the funny thing about a Chinese Les Paul is that the headstocks don't break.
The bottom line with Chibsons is 1) you may get a good one and you may get a terrible one and 2) why buy a Chibson when you can buy something like a Firefly for $199
2: why? see rule one.
...because they don't make them left handed and the finishes are fugly.
I own two of them. The first one I was looking to move up from this random brand called rhapsody and I went in the pawn shop and bought a “Gibson” les Paul and I line 6 spider amp. Honestly I was pretty happy with it, at the time I didn’t know it wasn’t a real Gibson I just thought it was a good deal on a used one. Then about 4 months ago I bought a Ace Frehley chibson from eBay and it actually was coming from the USA and only took a week to get here. This has been my dream guitar since I was a kid and I wanted one so bad I didn’t really care how crappy it was. But turned out it’s actually a pretty great guitar for $300. I need to replace the nut, and tighten some things. Pickups aren’t half bad, still want to replace them. But my overall experience with chibson is pretty good, and a great way to own your dream guitar.
You need to set better dreams for yourself
@@HiredGoonage just woke up and thought you had to be an asshole to someone today huh? Do you feel better about yourself now?
Looks like they tried to drill out the E string on the nut?!
Yea, it's bizarre. The nut was for sure the worse part of it. Still a fun guitar to play around with though! Plus it makes for some good stories.
Oh the chibbies...
So you might just get a metric nashville gotoh or even no name bridge and you'll get more space to intonate the strings.
If you feel like it. lol.
Gotoh GE103B would probably drop on and have enough saddle throw to solve your intonation problem. Real gibsons also have that problem
I have never picked up, owned or played a Gibson that had intonation problems. I personally own 6 currently and have had 10 other in my lifetime. I'm calling BS on that comment.
@@jski718 agree! I’ve got 9 Gibsons and they’re perfect!
Sounds like you got it humming Hummer
Mark Agnesi is having a stroke watching this.
Check the scaling! try a Cadd9 3-7 fret stretch. I don't know about the new ones , but every chinese knock off my clients bring me have horrific scaling, all over the map. Maybe that's how they get around copyright and trade laws.
YOu can measure the nut to bridge on there.
I bought 2 Chibsons (LP and ES-345) and they really weren't too bad right out of the box, some setup required but what guitar doesn't? I also own real Fenders and Gibsons and yeah, the real ones are much better. But if I ever get back to gigging again I won't care if the drunk guy at the bar projectile vomits on my Chibson when he asks if we can play Freebird.
If the burst wasn't so hilariously bad I'd say it could be a decent decoration but yeah that thing is useless any way you can think of.
Are a those guitars behind you fake too? 🤔
So it won't intonate. Time to play Pete Townsend!
The ONLY problem(other than crappy workmanship&Q..C...)On my chibson?...Nut,& switch out for real name brand tuners,put decent pickups in it,did a fret job.nNOW?.IT PLAYS GREAT!
讚喔!水喔!good喔!!
Yes, the truss rod usually works, but it’s not the Gibson style. Biggest giveaway
Where can I get a Chibson? C'mon now cause they really say Gibson on the headstock ....right? They are not another name on there but say "Gibson"?
Just why?
How can you tell if it's a true Chibson or fake Chibson?
I think a fake Chibson would just be the trunk of a tree with some copper wire wrapped around it.
Headstock, inlays, basically most of it. And you don't get that Gibson smell
@@Vor_Tex_Sun I said fake Chibson not fake Gibson
@@mickavoidant4780 they play and sound better than Gibson😏
@@gypsylee8908 Fakes of fake Gibson would be better than Gibson?
Hey! Its trogley!
Not sure what that means, but thanks for watching!
@@johnhummer1064 Sorry you look like the guy on trogleys guitars! didnt mean anything bad
@@jamesseverin oh! I am not familiar, but will check it out.
Nice review and guitar man look into a roller bridge with the adjustable ends you can actually push the bridge more forward to combat the intonation issue it might just get the bridge slid forward enough where you can be spot on I believe there only 25 bucks or so China guitar sceptic did that on his chibson because he had a similar issue! 😎
@@TyRoxYaMan Thanks for that recommendation! I actually wondered about getting one, but don't have any experience with them. I didn't know he had used one with good results. I think you sealed the deal on me getting one.
It's a great guitar for someone that doesn't want to give every dime they have for a USA guitar.
i just want one that says Chibson on the headstock ffs
It is funny because 90% of the things you think are related just to Chibson actually happens with real Gibson not to far away, miss alignments of the tuners, dis intonation issues because the tuners are basically something that is better to replace or the bridge is not what you expect in a big brand, fretwork had improved over the time but you really will be surprised about how bad it could be specially on tribute models same thing about the binding work sometimes it is awful, the nut is something that you need to upgrade. I don't know man I basically had the same issues on two original Gibsons a tribute DC ans a Les Paul Studio, I think is something related with validation bias but the real value of a Gibson is the people given value, and with it I don't want to sound like a Gibson hater (because personally I own 2 Gibson guitars that really love and are not precisely entry level Gibsons as the Tribute and Studio I talked about both are reissues of high level models) but the brand have its opportunities, so I think is better to care about your playing before giving a lot of attention on the instrument, obviously a great guitar is more enjoyable, but the best guitarists I know can play greatly even with a toy guitar
Dad, can you buy me a Gibson Les Paul? Sure, here it is...
I really enjoy people buying $100 guitars and complaining about fret ends, pickups etc. IMO they're pretty good for the money you pay. If it was an USA made guitar, you couldn't even buy a 2inch toy for that money, or if you buy a guitar for the price of a real Gibson from China, it will make real Gibson a joke compared to it. They can get parts very cheap and labor is cheap there. So it's dumb to complain what you get for that price.
can they look any worse
Why make it sound that your regretfull, when for the money, and upgrades. You have a not bad guitar,enjoy it and play it it,most people that buy them do the same thing your doing.want did u think you we're buying
Man you must have found the 1 bad seller out there. I have 3 chibsons and none have any of these issues thankfully
Give me a straight neck,Cheap frets can suck,but easily remedied.All the rest is lying around doing nothing.I need to buy an FRX for my SG and that is going to be more than the cost of that whole guitar.I would like to get Gold top P90s one and experiment With tremolo routing.I can put the bridge location where it belongs and don't have to cut up my real 1986 Les Paul.But SGs are so thin FRT wont work,but I have 3 of them.Or at least TP-6 Bridge system to lock down everything.They have adjustable roller Bridges for offset systems like yours.I put everything that does not lock down out of tune.Give me anything I will put it out.Because some people have no idea how shitty they sound out of tune.I do not care how well you play.Know a guy and after I put his TP-6 he said he sounds better,I said you have no idea,to me it is like scratching a chalkboard.Trying to play with an out of tune guy is a trainwreck and makes your playing sound out.He bought a garbage 450$ SG epiphone ,but loves it now.Pretty stupid to run a whole production of bodies and them all not measured out correctly.Bought a 7 string Floyd,Great tremelo for a copy but the bridge screw location screwed up.I just use it for chugging low end stuff.Shame the dam neck is straight and 24 frets.Sounds great with a Invader in it.Ready to relocate the bridge next string change.
funny....all the vids on chibsons nit pick fixable things.....got one cheap....i like it better than modern gibsons because they are lighter like real old gibsons
Definitely, a reason they would part with this guitar for $170 shipped, it cost $88 to ship a guitar to the states! They didn't value this guitar! It was a failed unit that someone got their hands on for dirt cheap and listed on DHgate/Alibaba. Be careful who you buy from
Gibson is coming for you.
a lot of mental gymnastics and rationalizing going on in your pinned post. if you really just wanted it to work on the frets you could have easily messaged the manufacturer and told him to leave the trademarked name off the headstock.
I have 7 of them.. all but one is excellent.. I talked to the guy who was building it until each one was correct.. you can get a crappy one, or a decent one.. sorry yours was so shitty..
Nothing is as good as a Chibson. Apparently theres some bad US guitar company thats been through multiple bankruptcies, selling low quality Chibson knockoffs.
You have the cheapest look up $ 4,500 chibson
You spend 12.00 dollars for a 3,000.00 dollar guitar and all you can do is gripe. Get a grip, you spent 12.00 dollars. By the time you're done that whole wall will be 12.00 dollar guitars.
For intonation issue, if you can't fix it by moving saddles, it means that you have to adjust the neck angle. Check neck shims.
that's not possible on a setneck guitar lol
mytuners are the same looks like a drunk put themon LOL
And yet you still buy them
You don’t agree with knock offs, and yet not only did you buy a counterfeit Gibson you actually took the time to throw it up on UA-cam. Some of your comments here say you didn’t buy it from a “reputable” place. How is any place reputable that sells counterfeit products. Grow up guys and Never buy counterfeit crap.
Are you a Gibson employee, or what? If I wanted to buy a Gibson, I would. Maybe I will someday. I bought this to mess around with and may end up cutting the back out to use it as a pickup test guitar. Obviously I knew what I was buying. These are stealing 0 sales from Gibson. I don't agree with selling these as a real Gibson on the second hand market. Obviously, I know I am not going to do that, so I am not loosing any sleep at night.
@@johnhummer1064 excuse to justify buying counterfeit garbage. Buy a cheap Epiphone that is at least not counterfeit. I enjoyed reporting this video. Enjoy your sleep.
Haha Look at you being all heroic. Please explain to me how my video violated UA-cam's policies? And if you're so hurt over Gibson counterfeit products, then why are you watching videos of them? And why would I buy a cheap Epiphone? I don't want one.
Thank you. These days you can buy them on payment plans really easy. There are a ton of options out there. The fact that they put Gibson on the headstock is bullshit and no place selling counterfeits is reputable.
Mine is better than my epiphone .
Same.
Picky
You put Epiphone pickups in a supposable copy of an American copy. If you buy a Chibson you're kicking America in the tail.
I wouldn't consider buying a Chibson of any type.
when you buy crap, what you get is......crap PERIOD!
Omg that thing sounds Horrible why don’t u go buy an 1959 reissue Epiphone at least it’s playable & sounds good. That thing is basically a Wall Hanger
