Thank you for posting this unboxing. About two months ago I received a guitar (in the case) from Sara lee (it is exceptional!). My styrophone was cut the same. I thought it was customs opening the package but yours is the same as as mine.
I'm glad you pointed out.....these are not real Gibson....some of these people swear they have the same thing as a real Gibson....I have a Gibson Gary Moore les Paul I bought used and it's a lovely sounding instrument.I tried a slash copy chibson and it looked ok but the unposted pickups and tuners,hardware.....I mean look yours is ok and your approach is good you know what you bought ...your experienced but some of these guys on these videos swear that they cheated the system and that guys like me who own a Gibson les Paul are idiots........I don't see Joe Bonamassa going nuts buying truck loads of chibsons.My take is the Chibsons depending on seller are ok guitars for the money and with some upgrades can even sound better.Not crazy China is doing this actually because we're now flooded with fake Gibson out there.Your guitar looks pretty nice and I'm glad your practical about what you purchased.
Absolutely. You hit the nail on the there Glenn. I own several real Gibsons and these Chibsons don't even come close. After I modify/upgrade them, they turn out to be great guitars. But at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. They are fun project guitars. But unless you know how to upgrade and modify them on your own, they are not worth it. :)
Funny you all call it the Gary Moore Les Paul. Might as well call it the Kirk Hammet Les Paul since he owns it now. Its the Peter Green Les Paul. And that's that. Hes the one who made it legendary. Hes the one that wrote the hits on it. Hes the one who reversed the magnets on the neck pick up. Cmon. Its Greens Lester before ANYONE elses.
I live in Los Angeles and buyed one like this from Sara Lee (Aliexpress) on last week. Believe me or not, today is Thursday, and I receive it this morning at 10:45... LESS THAN ONE WEEK FROM CHINA!!!!. I was working and there is anybody in home, so tomorrow I will pick it up in the post office early in the morning.
Same as mine and I love it ( along with the other 12 guitars from aliexpess),. Don't care what anyone says. For the money it's very good and as I say, a guitar is only as good as the person playing it. IF I wasn't happy with mine I wouldn't of purchased 12 guitars through China ( with 3 more on the way). All these people who nic pic and say " The G in Gibson is slightly off blah, blah, blah. " Don't get the negative vibes. Even Gibson's etc from their own factory sometimes have blemishes or a slight variation. You can pick up 10 guitars from any of the Rickenbacker Gibson, Fender factories and each one may play a bit differently.
I've owned 5 in the past and have yet to bond with any. The builds weren't bad but the hardware and nut needed to be swapped out. Since then I've sold them off. To each their own though.
it would be great if they could make at least on chibson with the volume and tone knobs in a perfect parallelogram like Gibson makes them.if you have a hard time telling the difference, look at how unevenly spaced the tone and volume knobs are on chibsons.they are are always wrong. ive bought 2 epiphone les paul customs(korean) one black and one white both with seymour duncans, tone pros and updated caps and pots for $300 each,they crush any chibson ive ever played.theyre actually superior to my 2 Gibson's honestly.(the black one,my main guitar out of 12+ guitars) is in the middle on my icon chibsons are just a bit too expensive for what little you get.
Les Paul tipography is bad and the G from Gibson inslay is more rounded in real Gibsons, is my impresion, but looks realy nice and well done this copy.
It looks a lot like an epiphone , i am surprised of how good it looks. I have usa made gary moore model and some epiphones. How much did u pay for it if u dont mind i ask. How about the neck is it straight ? Feels like a 50's neck. Just curious. Thank you
I paid $227.85 US for the guitar plus $70.00 US for the case.The neck needed a bit of relief straight out of the box and a touch of fret work. But was overall in great shape. The neck feels more like a 60`s style neck. Great guitar!
it grate when ickle chinnee gerl adn boy do werk theri buts off for two noodle an hour to make us orl Grate American Icon innit !! oh yes and all the Trade Marks are exctly write innit the Good Lord above bless them orl for there haaard werk and gettign the trade mark exactly write oh yes and orl for a cuppla hundred bucks BRILLIANT !!
If you order these because you like the real guitar at lease take the GIbson name off of it and put something else there,,,,Get the real thing if you want the real name on the guitar.
Can you give us a link at Ali where this guitar is offered, I could not find it anywhere on Ali! Thanks for sharing this
Unfortunately, the shop that I bought this guitar from is long gone. I don't think you can find these models anymore either, sadly. Sorry about that.

Well put James! Enjoy your guitars! :)

Sarah Lee? Loved her pastries as a kid. 😊
Who was the seller on this? And can you please make a video of you playing it? Thanks!
Sara Lee was the seller on this particular guitar. Will do a follow up video soon. :)
Mi invieresti il link per acquistare questa chitarra! +? Grazie
it would be great if they could make at least on chibson with the volume and tone knobs
in a perfect parallelogram like Gibson makes them.if you have a hard time telling the difference,
look at how unevenly spaced the tone and volume knobs are on chibsons.they are are always wrong.
ive bought 2 epiphone les paul customs(korean) one black and one white both with seymour duncans,
tone pros and updated caps and pots for $300 each,they crush any chibson ive ever played.theyre actually
superior to my 2 Gibson's honestly.(the black one,my main guitar out of 12+ guitars) is in the middle on my icon
chibsons are just a bit too expensive for what little you get.
+wayne smith Totally agree Wayne. I've since lost interest in buying these and am onto building super Strats instead. :)
....I noticed that Wayne, that would annoy me so much.
That’s a beauty!
Les Paul tipography is bad and the G from Gibson inslay is more rounded in real Gibsons, is my impresion, but looks realy nice and well done this copy.
which factory did you buy it in alixpress? 😍😍😍
I bought this from "Sarah Lee" quite a few years ago. I'm not sure if she is still around though...
It looks a lot like an epiphone , i am surprised of how good it looks. I have usa made gary moore model and some epiphones. How much did u pay for it if u dont mind i ask. How about the neck is it straight ? Feels like a 50's neck. Just curious. Thank you

Hey buddy, I'd say that looks pretty identical to GM. :-)
Been after this guitar since seeing your videos (which I love!) my friend! This one just so happens to be the best Chibson I have too.
Is this guitar american ou chinese?
Oh it's definitely 100% Made in China.
did you have to specify anything when you ordered this?
If I remember correctly, the only thing I specified was the color of the hard shell case. Everything else was `standard` I believe. :)
i did the same. I just hope I get a good one
The tuners are diferents from the USA madens
Sara Lee one of my best
She is great!
