    My Chibson is amazing. I mean we all know Chibsons are NOT about quality electronics or hardware. I got mine mainly because I had a lot of hardware and electronics laying around not being used, so I thought well, I'll spend 225.00 on a guitar to see what I can do w/ it. Mine is quilted maple (rootbeer color) I got it w/ ebony fretboard w/ the "supreme" inlays. As soon as I got it, I put in a set of Seymours, a roller bridge, locking tuners and a Tusq nut and it's amazing. Out of all of my guitars, it's still one the more fun to play cause it sounds amazing, it feels, looks and plays amazing.. And it's 6 years old now and is still just as awesome today as it was the day I got it all done. And I've played it nearly every day for 5 years straight. Only reason I don't play it everyday now, is because this past year I got a Jem jr that I upgraded and I have a Genesis Rg 570 that has been getting a lot of my attention lately, but I still love going back to the Chibson off and on.

    • @Spittin_Bars
      @Spittin_Bars Před 4 lety

      Well it really depends on who you buy it from, some sellers are great and don't use Gibson's logo, other's just buy the lowest quality ones they can and resell them. So let's not just make blanket statements. There are sellers using nitro finish, ABR bridges, actual Gibson pickups, real Kluson tuners, and doing quality relic work out of china on replicas, hell Eastman makes some of the best ES 335 and LP style guitars money can buy out of Beijing.

      I have had several Gibsons. 2 SGs. I scored a Samick Artist SG 450 SG clone from a friend for free. After a fret dress and new pickups and tuners it plays just as good as my Gibsons. SO If you don't mind no open book profile on the headstock, these guitars are a very good choice for very little money. Score one for $200, put quality used Ebay tuners and used Ebay pickups. You can have a real sweet axe for less than $400. They have a neck joint just like a real SG. I put 56 to 13 strings on mine and ran it in B for a while even.

    With the state of Gibson’s quality control lately it’s honestly getting harder to tell the difference.
    Bought a brand new Les Paul Junior DC Tribute bass and...
    The truss rod covers badly off centre.
    The pickup doesn’t have enough foam under it to stop it flapping around underneath the cover or sinking into the bass (with audible noise through the amp as the cover and pick up rub on each other).
    There’s a gap/crack in the lacquer under the headstock veneer.
    Half the frets aren’t dressed on the treble side of the neck.
    The headstock shapes nowhere near semetrical.
    The e string tuners not installed straight, it’s totally out of line with the others.
    The frets aren’t crowned or polished whatsoever.
    Gibson’s response its ‘handmade’, you need to understand these imperfections in the context of it being ‘handmade’... No Gibson, just no.

    I am wanting to try a custom project for my next guitar just to give me a fun project this winter, either a les paul or a 335 semi-hollow type. Still deciding if I should get a kit or a Chibson and just change out the electronics/pups and all the other junk parts. The Chibson's come finished and from what I've seen the finishes look nice, but I don't want to waste my money on 1 if the neck is junk and the frets aren't level. I don't mind crowning, polishing and dressing the fret ends but I've never done leveling. I'm leaning towards the kit at this moment. I've never done finishing work on a guitar but I figure it's probably less of a headache than a fret job or dealing with a twisted neck or stuck truss rod.

      Chibson "fanboy"....? I have a Chinese LP knockoff, and in my case, I must have lucked out! My guitar does play mighty fine, and I have done none of the bullshit you're slinging. I wonder how many critics can really play any guitar for shit? I would complain louder than anyone if the guitar I received sucked!!! I would take my guitar over any comparable EPI, Orville, many US Pauls, of wich I have quite a few! Play more, bitch less! I would rather be a talented, professional, "fanboy" than be a no talent, bedroom bound, critic! This comment is directed towards anyone who can bitch and complain way better than they will EVER be able to play any guitar, or any other musical instrument for that matter. Gotta go, well paying gig in two hours.....
