Chibson Believers: examining and deconstructing a fake Les Paul

[jb_abides]

Joe Bonamassa, Tom Bukovac, Joe Glaser, and Tom Murphy look over a $300 Chibson, and discuss obvious 'tells'.

A saw is also employed...

Wow. Maybe the only thing better than playing a Chibson is systematically destroying one! I had a friend buy virtually the same guitar for about $350.00. It sounded every bit as good as lets say, an Epiphone. And dangerously close to my old '08 Standard with the PC board. (that I sold some time ago)

 

[zacknorton]

wow.. that's impossible to wade through.

 

[RhinestoneStrat]

I'm surprised how easy it was to cut through the neck because the truss rod was apparently made from crap metal.

 

[Dave P]

The video would have been much shorter if they only pointed out what was right about the Chibson. LOL
I'm not sure if the video translated enough info for the novice, a more in depth side to side comparison with very clear descriptions of what to look for would probably be more helpful.

I love the title of this thread

I can't imagine caring enough to do this, but whatever floats your boat.

There are some nice guitars for fair prices - Epiphone, etc. I don't see the point of the fakes.

The unscrupulous dupe the less knowledgeable.

Well, it seems his boat floated away without any trace...
