Re: Chibsun from China - What Choo say?
Might be made in China, but it doesn't say GIBSON - therefore NOT a Chibson.

I doubt that changes what the law says, and it doesn’t change my mind. There other guitars available. Get a Chinese guitar that doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.

If you do a custom build
You can get stainless frets and graphite stiffening rods
They have those in China and know what they are for
It's really difficult to check to see if they did install them though
You'll have to find a company that has been in business for a while
That you can trust
The builder for my Ehdwuld Signature guitar
Got closed during my build for copyright infringement
And came back under a new name
He's a bit shady
The second builder for the ERI guitar
Gave me pictures throughout the build
He claimed a fire inspection in the midst of the build that delayed the progress
Second guy was much more trustworthy

Giannini guitars are made in Brazil, not China. Some of them are very good.
For once, you're wrong. Some of the stuff is from Brazil. But my electric guitar was made in China. Just like everything else, they outsourced to China

Here's the Chibson I owned for about 16 hours... It was incredible looking, played very well, and even sounded good. But it was fake as a three dollar bill.

The wood is good
Quality is hit and miss
The hardware is mostly junk
The fretwork is good in my experience
The ERI guitar is surprisingly light for a mahogany body and neck
Scale your expectations back to the price level
And it should be a good experience
I haven't had any of the misaligned holes or such
No major issues

Re: Chibsun from China - What Choo say?
I guess they start getting more ambitious with the pricing when it's a 'custom' job though?
Grote has some decent LP copies & they're cheap! (250-300)
If they're anything like mine quality/build wise (no reason they should'nt be) ..they're probably excellent :bigthumb:
Check out seller "grote-guitar" on ebay...
