@dbspecials1200 Жыл бұрын
Technically you can say Gibson has fit-n-finish problems. overall quality can refer to the woods and materials and electronics..ect that are used. it also lends to build techniques. much of your build cost is in time. in business you have two things to work with: time & space. but I know what you're saying, I like modern Epiphones. some copies are getting that good.

I've been really lucky with both of my gibsons. 2004 es 335 and 1997 r8 and no issues at all. Tuning stability is perfect and great playability. I have played some that just fall out of tune easily but that's an easy fix. Nothing can be as bad as the murphy lab issues with the paint falling off haha

Great episode as always. Elderly Instruments was a place I had heard of in 1985, but in my work, I got an assignment which put me in Lansing once a month for about 10 years. Needless to say, I made the time to find them. It is an older house on a corner, and nicer people you could not find. I bought a Custom Shop L.P. Bantam Elite in Ruby from them, and others, plus a Nighthawk Custom in Natural, which was amazing. Bought many others over the years. as well as Fenders there. It is worth the trip and their prices are fair. Two Thumbs up for Trogly and Elderly.

My "Chibson," story: Back in 2016 I bought one for sh!ts and grins, I have several REAL GIBSON LPs, some of which I modded with TonePro hardware and BKP pickups. I had also aquired an Epiphone double neck (which i modded as well). Now enters the Chibson- I used the hardware I removed from the Epiphone (except the tuners, I used real Gibson) I did the 50's wiring with paper in oil caps, and put in a pair of Seymour Duncan Whole lotta Humbucker, i had laying around. I loaned this modded Chibson to a friend who has a guitar collection as well. Months later, I went to his house and jammed on the Chibson. First he let me play his Ibanez loaded with BKP Blackhawk pups. I played it for bout 30 minutes and my ear adapted to that tome. THEN I picked up the Chibson just to see the difference.... much to everyone in the room's amazement.... The chibson with Seymour Duncan's ACTUALLY sounded fuller and had more presence than the Ibanez with the Bare Knuckles. Believe it or not.

3:30 as a woodworker, I can't help but be impressed with the sanding finishing job, That is a lot of exposed end grain, to sand down end grain to make it look smooth and nice takes a lot of work, even if they are machine sanding. 8:30 I never understood that, if they would just stop trying to copy everyone and just let their cheaper guitars and other products be what they are, they would probably sell a lot more products. just the fact that they steal someone else's name and stamp it Made in the USA or anywhere other than, Made in China! is a total insult and puts them on the blacklist.

Yeah that was my buyer's remorse with my Chibson. . . I impulse bought seeing I could get a $4000+ guitar for $250. . . I should have investigated the details of chibson to find their superiority to gibson is in the customization aspect. Want a SG _Diablo_ body with a left-handed Tony Iommi signature fretboard on a right handed guitar (so the crosses are upside down)? Gibson would just tell you "not only no, but HELL NO" or "That'll be 10 grand!" Chibson says "okie dokie, we charge you extra fifty for customization, so $300!"

Trog learns what those of us who collect/ trade/and sell watches learned years ago: Pieces that were intant-tell fakes five years ago before can become easily casual-inspection-proof, and with a few genuine parts, the main differences invlolve trademark violations, not functionality. Also, I would bet that's a real inlay--the Chinese have CNC machines and gluing in a premade inlay (probably mass produced for cheap "expensive-looking" furniture) is easy. Scary, but collectors are just going to have to become more educated to avoid getting ripped off.

When you unboxed that black Gibson case my mind wandered a bit and I thought, "I should get my Joan Jett out and play it". To my surprise, you pulled a Joan Jett out of the case! Mine was a pawn shop find. I saw the lower bout sticking out from behind another guitar behind the counter and said to the guy "Hey, is that a Joan Jett Melody Maker?". He got it out and I bought it. I got a great deal IMO, too.

The MIII is quite an interesting guitar. It sort of reminds me of the Iron label Exotic I have . It is a combination of 7 exotic woods with mother of pearl inlays plus MOP binding and an Iron Label branding on the headstock. I wasn't looking to pickup such a guitar but a friend was looking to unload a few instruments including a 1969 FJ 230 12 string acoustic. He's particular about who he sells such instruments to. He wouldn't sell things like that unless he knew they were going to a good home . That Chibson is actually a really good looking guitar. I wonder it plays as good as it looks. Is that real Grovers on it? They even put a made in USA stamp on it. Cant remember which brand it is but one of the tuners I have has tuning for standard 440 plus alternate tuning and tuning for bass and violin

Where can I get a chibson? I don’t have money for a Gibson and I just want a guitar to hang on my wall i don’t care if up close it looks bad or sounds bad I just want one as art like owning a hand painted art compared to a print. Anybody know a place?
@snap-off5383 Жыл бұрын
DH Gate, Ali Express, Ebay. Good that's what you want because they come as "wall art". If you want playability you have to finish the fretwork and set it up. If you want good sound you have to replace the pickups and pots, again they're there for LOOKS, they're basically microphones, you can talk into them and hear yourself in the amp. If you want it to stay in tune you have to change the "grover" (also counterfeit) tuners. Do all that and you've got a functionally equivalent Gibson (its actually a CNC printout of an Epiphone file) product for THOUSANDS less $.

I’m all about the poly tune clip. Best display and the build quality is awesome. I don’t use the poly tune feature often, but, it’s a sweet tuner.

Those chibson manufacturers make really good guitars for players, I have two and they usually come properly set up and they actually sound good, I wonder why they don't put their own brand on the headstock or just down right "chibson"... I'd still buy them

I think with fake gibsons you can ask for a blank or say your name on the headstock

With the Chibson, would you consider sanding off the Gibson logo & Made In USA stamp, then refinishing over? It's quite deceptive & the concern is that down the track, 3 or 4 owners after you, someone might take advantage of the false claims.

Waiting on a gorgeous cream Chibson SG, gold hardware, three pickups with vibrola, ordered it January 20th lol, buying it purely for the looks, if it plays ok that will be fine, from research the tuners and pickups are crap so will probably upgrade those, will never be passing it off as real and cant justify $1000's for the real thing so don't see a problem.

I have a Chibson that is masquerading as a Deluxe in Trans Black. I bought it for £200 knowing what it was, as I was interested to see one. At first glance it looks really nice hanging on the wall, but there are so many indicators that its not a genuine Gibson. Even mother nature didn't like the thing, as an inexplicable event happened where something fell and hit it, leaving a dent in the body. I gave it to my local guitar doc to appraise, and his only comment was "I've seen worse necks", which made me laugh.
