Fantastic video. Thank you for the shout-out, my brother.
The wonderful thing about Greeny replicas is (Even the Gibson models) they are all different shades and grains.
I particularly like the angle of your grain. Looks good! I'm loving your content! And yes Cathy definitely Rocks!
Thanks man! I wanted to give you a shout out ´caus you´re the reason that I noticed Chibsons (or should I say your fault! Haha!) Yeah, my Greeny looks good and it is growing on me every minute, in spite of all it´s imperfections. I´m very much looking forward to see yours, I hope everything works out!
@TheworldofMattias It should be here any day. It all got straightened out, thankfully 🙂
I´m glad to hear! :)
Long live Chibson!! And those that love em!! You guys kick ass!!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Happy New Guitar Day, Mattias! The guitar looks pretty good and I bet it'll turn out great once you put all the upgrades. I'm looking forward to Part II of this Greeny project ✌️
Thanks man! It’ll be out this thursday!
Love the Chibsons. I have 5! 3 LPs and 2 SGs. All needed a little work, but after $70 in GFS pups, a $25 bridge, and an $10 nut, they sound and play so well!
I totally agree! And the extra work doesn´t bother me, I just think its fun and it makes the bond between player/instrument that much stronger.
Im in the UK, where can i buy these?
I just got the Ace Frehley chibson and I think it's great. Keep up the good reviews.
Congrats bro! And thanks 🤘
Just ordered one myself great info can wait to see it and play it
That’s great man! Hope yours is as good as mine!
Fingers crossed 😊
How much would one pay for the average Gibson? And what can be expected from the electronics?
looks your unboxing skill getting better and better, less mess than last time , those styrofoam absolutely nightmares sometimes.
Thanks man! Yeah, you live and you learn :)
“We know all about trolls.” 😂
Well, we do. (hahaha)
They live under bridges and demand a toll. Sounds kinda like American toll roads.😂
@@Keith-rk4td 🤣
I have a few of these, alpine white, black, I have a tiger burst on its way and have a slash anaconda burst which was suppose to be a different finish, but looks awesome all great guitars so far as a hobby player I look forward to playing all of them
That´s great man! For a hobby player/collector the Chibbys are hard to beat :)
I have got to get one of these 👍🏻
Yeah, they´re really great. Just make sure you order one with a nitro finish, then you´re allright!
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks man!
I had a 2013 Gary Moore l.p. and they do have binding that's aged (yellowed) it does blend into the color making it harder to identify.
Allright, I was refering to this article, se link below. Thats the "Gary Moore LPS". However, even thought the article says no binding, if I look at the pictures of it it looks like there is a yellowed binding, so I guess you´re right!
www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/gibson-announces-gary-moore-les-paul-standard-574313
There is no binding on the 2013 Gary Moore LP, on the body nor the neck
You know your LP's well great Chibson review and set-up i find Cathy to be the best you can get also she built me two great guitars 6 years ago Awesome video!
Thanks man, I appreciate it! And you got yourself a new sub! :)
@@TheworldofMattias Wow your Awesome Thank you TheworldofMattias!! FBS told me about you and I've watched you before and didn't realize it was you he's been talking about! lol" you definitely are going in the right direction with your channel UA-cam better take you to the top because you are great at what you do I really appreciate your support Thanks so much!! ✌️
You´re too kind, but you know I appreciate it! :) Kepp rocking!
Full size pots to boot?!! Nice!
Yes! But they are swapped to CTS now. Man, the feel of good pots… 🤘
Mine was delivered just after Christmas. It’s great. Plays well but needs a little set up and new strings. I might upgrade the pickups and electronics. We’ll see how it goes.
That´s great, good luck with your guitar!
I got one. It looks great, it didn’t sound terrible out of the box with the garbage pickups and strings. But no matter what I did the intonation was TERRIBLE. I changed the bridge and worked on it for hours and I could not get it to sound right.
I’m sorry for that. My guitars have been ok to intonate. Have you checked your scale length?
Hello!! Fulton Street beats sent me to your channel!🎸🎸😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thats great, welcome! :)
I gotta chibby greeny. I’m gonna do the rings and chip like you did. I never noticed the difference between the stock rings and the aftermarket rings that look more like gibby rings. Mine didn’t have side dots tho and it needed a ton of fretwork. I just received an Adam Jones LPC from Cathy Guitars and that came out really good. Couple very small things but they communicate well and will correct those on the next build.
That´s great. Yes, Cathy is a really good and reliable builder!
Awesome channel! Fulton Street Beats sent me! 🙂
Thats great! He has a awesome channel, welcome!
Same here
Welcome!
Good video... Good 2 see a fellow Chinese AliExpress UA-camr... Keep up the good work🤟
Looked up the store doesn't seem to exist?
Thanks man! We gotto stick together :) You´ve got yourself a new sub!

Thanks Mattias. Nice video. Try a Neil Young Old Black Les Paul for your next relic video.
Wow, that would be an awesome guitar! Maybe in the future. :) Right now I´m in the process of ordering something very special from China. Keep watching!
I've had 3 guitars from Cathy, including a custom built 1972 Les Paul Deluxe, she got the front & rear burst perfect & included the neck volute.
Thats great!
ALWAYS REMEMBER - "opinions are like assholes, EVERYONE HAS ONE" !!! The only "opinion" that counts is yours, you bought it, and you like it, that's all that matters...👍
I totally agree, thanks for your support! 🤘
Well damn. Looks like a really nice guitar. The biggest thing is the rhythm humbucker isn't turned backwards. That's one of the most obvious things on the greeny. But i think you have a good piece of wood there.
I totally agree, the wood work is exellent! And that´s the most important part. The other parts you can change out. And even if you put high end pups on a Chibby you can always swap them out again if you want. The value on the accessories is still intact :)
The plastics on all those Chibson greenies are pretty awful but the stock pickups can be better than you would think. No long neck tenon, no maple cap- maybe they will get that stuff figured out next year. Every year they get more accurate. That's a terrific price on those Korean bridges .
In my oppinion, the wood and set-up of the Chibbys are great, right up there with much more expensive guitars. The tuners is a 50-50. Some are really great, Grover rotomatics and the Greeny ones works fine, but the Gibson Deluxe are awful. I really like the bridge I found on AliExp, 3,5 dollars for a working bridge is nothing more than a bargain!
Hey Mattias, great video! How is the fretwork and intonation on this greeny?
Hello! Thanks man! :) I´ve had no issues with the set-up of the guitar. It was all good out of the box. Amazing since it has travelled half way across the world!
I may get one for myself. Keep up the good work Mattias. Let me know If iI can help your channel@@TheworldofMattias
Thanks man I appreciate it! Just tell your friends to subscribe and I’ll be most greatful! Keep rockin and good luck to you if you do decide to order a Chibby! 🤘
The link to Aliexpress didn’t work - could you update? Thanks for the video and detailed review!

By the time you're finished, you will have a better playing and sounding guitar than the Epi Greeny at 1/3 the price.
Yeah, I probably will. This is a one piece body and neck with a veneer top. Definitely up there with the Epi. The pickups are not great but I will swap them (video coming). I´ll also put in CTS pots and that will put the total cost for the guitar right around 450 dollars. That´s a bargain!
Lmao, why??? Epiphone makes a good REAL guitar. This is Chinese copy is firewood
@@SpinGoldmusicOH, nay not my SpinGold friend. You would have been right ~10 years ago, but times have changed. Nearly 80% of the guitar's made in China, including Epiphone, are made in Zheng'an in Guizhou. With modern CNC machining the quality of these guitars has improved leaps and bounds. Yeah, you can order one made of firewood, but you can also order one piece bodys and necks of high grade woods. They really are a great platform for rip and replace DIYers to get a low cost great guitar.
However, yeah, firewood resale value.
To bad it was made by China...vomit
@@SpinGoldmusicand this is a REAL guitar as much as any epiphone. Where do you think they are made? lol
Keep up
The cool content boss!
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
@@TheworldofMattias it is pretty great how much this Chibson community is expanding and supporting of each other! It’s how guitar groups should be!
I totally agree!
With all the changes you made I’m curious why you didn’t address the tuning machines? Regardless, enjoyed the video. Thank you!
Thanks man! Well, the tuners are accually quite good. 🤘🎸
The bottom knobs look to be what we were messaging about for the other guitar, ha!
Yes, exactly! But I went for the plain gold ones. 😊
sweet guitar brother!
i recently got a chibby LP in "ice tea burst" and popped in some vanson59s from the UK...figured peter green is from the UK so its proper to have pups from there as well!
this one is made to look like greeny when it was newer...neck pup wired backwards and flipped for authenticity...plus i "staggered" both pups like peter had his...
sounds sweeet too! only thing i need to correct is adding thumbwheels under the bridge....film coming soon!
That´s great man! I´m looking forward on seing your film. As you see in my films I´m kind of in a relic phase so I will go all in on ageing my Greeny. But always keep the back door open if you want to double back and get it as it was when it arrived, that´s my motto! You got yourself a new sub!
@@TheworldofMattias thanx my brother!
makes perfect sense esp if you ever sell it...keep your personal "goodies"....
Exactly! :)
Very nice looking guitar! That sticker on the top of the logo is the same as the one I got on mine. Speaking of which, I finally got my guitar back from the luthier, it plays amazing now! I also got a refund from Aliexpress so I didn't really have to pay anything extra.
I'll definitely change the pickups, the ones in the guitar are way too hot for my taste 😅. The bridge and tuners I'll probably change at some point as well.
Cheers from Finland!
Great to hear that it all worked out for you! Chibson´s are all about fiddling around. Changing pups and hard wear is part of the fun. Keep rocking! :)
Maybe you can join the Chibson Owners USA-group on FB? You can post a photo of your guitar there? I´d like to see it!
@@TheworldofMattias Yeah! I didn't know there was a group. I'll do that!
good review man. It seems the Cathy guitars are the benchmark for Chibsons. It seems her pricing is higher but probably worth it. And Btw, the music at the end of your video is very loud, gave me a real jump as I was typing this out. 😆
Yeah, you´re right. Cathy is my go-to builder. It took me a while to figure it out but from now on I´ll use her. Great seller! I´ve got a ES-345 and two acoustic coming from her. Don´t miss those videos!
👍🏻👍🏻
I want to get into the Chibson world. I have NO problem with Chibsons AT ALL. I love to tinker with my guitars so I wont be spending $1000s on something I will be taking apart and messing with a lot. I just have no clue how and where. I know allie (😉) but I have trust issues and don't trust the reviews anymore. If anyone can give me a walk through or a specific seller? I dunno, I am really happy that the quality of these have gotten so good and in some cases can go up against the big names.
I only shop via AliExp. It has worked without a problem so far. Even orders that I´ve cancelled has been refunded without any issues. Based on my own experience I can recommend Ali. You should contact Cathy when you shop there. She is a great seller. Tell her that I sent you. Here´s a link:

Something is really off with your guitar like that bridge.. but those fretnibs that impressed me.. overall I don't know if it compares to a real 1959 burst but if you like it that's all that matters.
It probably does not compare to the real ’59. But it’ just a fraction of the price. I get them to have fun with them, not to put them in a vault, haha! 😊
What do they know about the Greeny, if the neck pickup isn't reversed? If you don't choose that guitar, may I please buy it? The top sure is looking good!
The more I played the guitar the more I liked it. I’ve decided ti keep it. But if you want one, ask Cathy. She made mine (it turned out). But ask for pictures before shipping so you get what you want!
How much are they? 340? 360?
Yes, that’s about it!
Where do you get your chinese copies, whats a good seller?
I order mine from Aliexpress. But you can also order from FB or even eBay. I use Cathys guitar. She builds excellent instruments! Try email her on cathybestsound@163.com
Good luck!
where is the video to hear it before and after the mods?
It’s coming very soon! 😊
Yes, i just found Fulton Street Beats a couple weeks ago and it has become my favorite Channel. I actually ordered the Zakk Wylde replica 'Odin Grail' after seeing his review and i just received it last week. It is an amazing guitar. I just ordered the Black Beauty Les Paul replica and am awaiting it now. He tells it like he sees it and i like that. Looking forward to watching your reviews as well. Thanks.
Thanks man! Yeah, he has an excellent channel. It´s his "fault" that I do what I do, hahaha
How can I find this Cathy you speak of on AliEpress?

am i seeing fret nibs? dammit now i want one!
Sorry, it is fret nibs. 😊🎸🤘
How is the neck thickness? Playbility?
It´s a narrow neck. I should say a ´60 style. The playability is really good. The only thing I had to do was lowering the bridge (to set it to my preference).
Hey, the new links you commented 4 months ago also do not work, it seems they closed the shop or something 😢
Hey, head over here. That’s the same seller, Cathy Zhong

@@TheworldofMattias many thanks, I appreciate it. I want a Chibson Greeny now for as long as I play, it's great that they have become better and better over time
Where did you order your new bridge from ?
From AliExp. Here´s a link:

why did you say that the neck pickup is facing the wrong way?, the neck pickup screws should be closer to the neck, right? didn't you put it wrong now?
Well spotted my friend! But on a Greeny the screws should be facing the wrong way :)
@@TheworldofMattias thanks ;)
Dude, f**k the haters!
I try to! 🤘🤘

Lol I have that same hat
Great!
I know it s a relic but the finsh is terrrible I will not be getting a relic thanks for showing. It should not have heavy sanding marks even file marks that is terrrible the head stock look like termites have eaten it litltle trails. Thanks for this video.
Yeah, a reliced guitar is not everyones choice. I´m glad I could help you.
It's not a Cathy guitar but the nut is STILL cleaner than the nut on the actual Gibson SG the guy from Fulton Street Beats bought & reviewed! Unbelievable!
Accually, after the video was made I found out that it IS a Cathy guitar 😂
Particularly when whoever is cutting the nuts for Cathy, does a MUCH nicer job of properly cleaning up after, than the entitled Gibson "QC" people? Expose, yes please do expose.
My Gibby nut was cut very clean but I’ve seen horrible examples online. All in all, that’s not qc…
