My sister and her husband used to make Gibson acoustic guitars and Gibson closed the shop but we all got a guitar
Y’all remember when obamaumao sent in the US Fish and Wildlife SWAT team with drawn weapons INTO the Nashville Gibson factory to seize WOOD stocks of finished product wood, which was not cleared by CITES? Incredible!.
And now this? How damned ridiculous. Right hand vs. Left Hand— they seized legitimate wood stock supplies from a US based Gibson factory, because the wood was finished in the US and not Madagascar or India or some shitehole. Idiotic. Trade enforcers vs. MAGA enforcers.
This is definitely a LATE head fake pretending to be MAGA. They already got valuable wood supplies obamaumao seized- the a@@hole.
Probably sounded like a Chinese Zither
Change the headstock logo to “Epiphone” and no one will notice.
Guitar Ping. :-)
In unrelated news, 700 tons of fentanyl came through the border today.
Good!
I take this as a personal affront. All involved should be hanged.
It is pretty stupid now a days to try to bring in a fake Gibson or anything from China with the real ones name on it. China guitars have been sold under their own names for years now and some of them are very, very, nice and cost a fraction of what a name brand one goes for.

Chibsons.
Crush them.
“U.S. customs officers seize 3,000 counterfeit Gibson guitars”
well, as long as they aren’t made with protected wood species, i don’t see the problem ...
This should be a hanging offense.

i inherited a 1956 fender stratocaster with the original case...
We call them āChibsonā for obvious reasons. Les Paulās have become obscenely expensive for reasons I canāt fathom. And Gibson refuses to make them with a neck volute despite the fact that the neck is fragile in that area. Ed Roman used to roast Gibson online and I think Gibson sued him for it.
Gibson.. awesome guitars!!
Im DONE ordering ANYTHING off Instagram or FB!!! Iv been scammd too many times receiving ABSOLUTE garbage than what was advertised. DONE!!!!
Well, the bitter comes out better on a... Oh, never mind.
There are reviews of these fakes on YouTube. If I recall they play fairly well.
Bkmk
Guys that buy the fake Gibson Chinese made stuff usually make big changes to them to even play them. They still save a lot of money so they say. Hit and miss on Chinese quality and mostly miss. I’ve never played one.
I have no problem going after this although I doubt there’s much they can do to really stop it. They will just ship or transport them some other way.
It is interesting that Biden goes after phony Gibson guitars while allowing in illegal humans. I guess Chibson guitars don’t vote.
