A Chinese Gibson Copy unboxing.wmv

Video of me playing the guitar plugged in - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IulJ164n06E

FOR PICTURES - before and after mods http://s1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb405/davemate08/Burst/

So my young ones and I open up a fake gibson from China (bought from the dhgate web site). This is just the unboxing to see how theyare posted and look straight out of the box.

The guitar plays nice and sounds great (I have another video of how it sounds). Its a 3 piece neck. Pickups say epiphone underneath the pickup (only visible after removing the pickups). The case is awesome, but the red 'sticker on the scratch plate' was actually printed on.

However this was $360 with a case and postage in comparison to many thousands of dollars for the real deal which i would rather spend on my kids.

Music is Joe Bonamassa - Ball Peen Hammer, off the Sloe Gin Album

so how is the condition of the guitar now that you have had it for a bit? like is the neck still straight, does it stay in tune? any other faults with it yet?

[davedave99999]

@SecondChance5741 Its great, no problems & play it all the time. One day I will get the frets redressed to get it a little lower but its decent as is.

how are the electronics on these??

[davedave99999]

@wretcheddog Well they work. The first time I plugged this one in the toggle switch was a little dirty, but that cleared after a few minutes of switching, no problems since then.

[MrReflexguitar]

how about a review video of your other 2 guitars? :b

[davedave99999]

@MrReflexguitar A couple new videos are now on my channel showing the unboxing and a demo of another replica (Gibson Supreme Alpine White)

@IdolHans wow you have no idea what you're talking about. First know these raid have gone on for years. it has nothing to do the guy in office. Second Google CNN Obama takes aim at unfair trade, China in State of the Union. Now you're up to date. you're welcome.

@IdolHans Ya cause its JUST THE GOV. who are crooks not the guys charging $5k for a Paul !

[IdolHans]

we need a real president who will protect American jobs and go after the Chinese pirates and their enablers. I hope Gibson sues the dog crap out of the guv-thugs and traitors in the Government.

[IdolHans]

why is it ok for Obama's Guv-thugs to raid the Gibson Factory in Nashville not bring charges and then to add insult to injury, fail to stop the illegal importation of counterfieted Gibson guitars? May justice come down like a mighty river! (Amos and MLK quote)

Looks cool. Enjoy.

USA is losing it since early 2005. I'd buy a chinese Gibson any day. And don't complain too much about the chinese, they are getting better by each product produced. Watch out americans.

[OddTimeMan]

@bloodythinandfast Gibsons are mostly ASSEMBLED in USA. Most of the parts are imported.

Which seller did you use to buy this?
