      I use to use wicked expensive guitars on tour and i got sick of worrying about something happening to them. Now a days the most expensive guitars i take out on the road are around $1200, but i usually also bring out one of my home made guitars as well. My expensive guitars i dont even own most of them anymore, i found that if you spend $1200 on the right guitar, you will be just as happy as a $4,000 guitar. Also these days its amazing the quality of some of these inexpensive guitars in the $250-450 range. When i see people blow $3k on a brand new Gibson Les Paul... i just dont get it... why ? For that $ you could have gotten a killer guitar and still had money for next months rent ! lol

    @chaos4316 Před 8 měsíci +3

    Hey Tomo, I got too curious and had to take the Chibson challenge. I got an Adam jones signature copy… and I was so surprised. I set out with the idea of replacing everything on it with legit parts. When I took off everything it came with, a lot of it was genuine epiphone. But they did a great paint job, inlay work was fine. I replaced the pickups to match the Adam Jones spec. I work in a custom shop so I did all this myself. Replaced the nut with a tusq and precision cut that. Adjusted truss, changed fake grovers for schaller, made a wiring harness and did some proper fret work/final set up.
    I’ve played the Gibson up against it, and I swear this fake plays better after putting some work into it. It’s not to sell, like I said I was just curious and prepared to take a $350 gamble.

    JFC the tee shirt made me blast dual jets of diet mountain dew through my nose. Thats a very funny dig at Evil Guitar Name Company ;) To help anyone reconcile the "how do they make money" question, a Chibson with Chibson brand hardware wholesales for about 75 bucks when your order about half of a container. So a vendor will make money with a basic setup (sometimes) even with free shipping in the continental US, as long as the guitar arrives undamaged and their setup labor is super brief. As far as the paint job or finish, you should expect something that will initially look nice but be the thinnest paint and for anything that looks like a true master crafted "custom shop finish" you will absolutely get what is called a photo-figure application. Thats a printed picture of a finish glued to the guitar just prior to the clear coat. This is not meant to detract from Chibsons, because they are otherwise straight and true copies of bodies and necks produced often in the same factory as the $5,000 guitar they endeavor to copy. This allows you to at least a good body and neck, fragile but pretty finish, and a platform that lets you piece by piece swap in higher quality hardware as your progress with the instrument. Thats sort of a big deal when you can get something complicated or niche, like Jimmy Page's Black Beauty or anything with a Floyd Rose, or anything with an unconventional wiring layout because those guitars are tough to build DIY/dont exist as kits/often only exist as the most unobtainably expensive guitars. Durability is poor, perfect frets is 50/50 chance, hardware performs in a fashion to be okay but not a perfect facsimile. Computer aided manufacturing gets you the same look, layout, and the ability to upgrade into something that comes very close to an elite guitar IF you are a good enough player to be able to discern the differences. I would even suggest that improving a Chibson would make you better understand how to play the instrument and be more self reliant rather than subject to the builder or luthier/guitar tech (no knocks on luthiers, btw). So the cheep Chibson is good for guitar players that take it for what it is.

    I bought a much earlier version of this guitar from them around 2017-18, and it's MUCH better built- bone nut, nitro finish, the "checking" is nicer than the one in the photo (which has been up for years, it's the one they replaced mine with), properly aged inlays, aged Gibson logo inaly (which appears to be correct).
    Weighs a ton, built like a tank.
    I changed out all the pickups and wiring with Duncan PAF's, the old ones that were wound by Seymour in the 90's, vintage spec pots, cloth wire, and PIO Russian caps from the 50's.
    It has the correct 59 neck profile, solid maple top, mahogany neck and body, and it wound up being my main guitar because it actually had that "bark" to it that even the Gibson reissues don't seem to have (R9).
    I think I paid 400 for it, because the nitro finish and Gibson headstock inlay were about 100 bucks extra.
    The pickups and wiring, pots, etc. ran about the same as the guitar.
    Unfortunately, it was the last one of those, which I think there were only 12 built.
    Nicer than my P90 Gibson Studio Pro Gem series-the build quality was actually much better.
    Unless you are investing in the art market, and just want a LP to take to work and gig, this is a far better choice.
    Just be prepared to change out the pickups and polish the frets a bit.

    Your rhythm playing is so remarkable that you must be a really good drummer.

    I've seen more cosmetic flaws in Gibson guitars over time especially in the past few years (particularly in an ebony-finish P-90 Les Paul that I use to own), and now I have a Chibson P-90 Goldtop that I'm really into. The funny thing is that the $200 product seems on par with the $2,000 product in terms of fit-and-finish and playability. I actually prefer the neck profile on the Chibson than on the Gibson that I had sold a couple years ago. This is what you get when guitars nowadays are CNC on machines instead of being executed mostly by hand in the old days. So it seems that it's really no difference anymore on the manufacturing process (despite some slight variations here-and-there), and it just comes down to price and where it's made. Granted that it may not be "right" for the Gibson logo on the headstock and the "Made in U.S.A." branding on the back of it, but that's what also sells the guitar to make it as authentic as possible. Yes, it's a psychological thing, but there's also a flip-side to this as well: How many so-called "Made in U.S.A." guitars there are out there (including made by Fender and Gibson) that probably are not? Most of the parts are probably manufactured outside of the U.S. and then assembled in America to be tagged as "American-made" guitars. That's not right either. Anyway...
    Thank you for your video and input, and I love the T-shirt! 👍

    I also bought a chibson Jimmy page model and it needed almost nothing out of box I replaced the tuners and did a set up it could use better pick-ups but it's beautiful! Plays better than some Les Pauls I've had the neck is great they use really decent woods and stuff it's really as good as a great Epiphone honestly if you get a good one!

    I have 2 Gibsons and 2 Chibsons. I won't buy a Chibson unless it has a Gibson headstock logo. I'm doing full upgrades on both with the best parts I can get. Still waiting for a few upgrades before I begin, like the Gibson TP-6 gold tailpiece. I just can't afford to pay $10,000 for an SG or $6000 for a LP.

    This always stuck to my mind someone with a $30.000 Gibson les Paul said that low income people would never afford one of these guitars and boy I always wanted one and yes it piss me off. I’ve been playing china guitars all my life and I love them. It’s not the guitar it’s how you play it, I’m 52 years old and I’m not married and I have no kids with a hell of a good trade so yes I can afford a Gibson now but I don’t want one 😆 I’d rather buy a new truck and 10 more Chibson guitars.
