From the website:

Who is the manufacturer of these guitars?​

All of the guitars featured on GetTrumpGuitars.com were custom designed and developed by a Veteran owned company with the help of a master luthier. These guitars have been manufactured by multiple providers and include parts/features that are both domestic and international. This is standard with most guitar manufacturers.

What's a "domestic feature"?
Could mean completely MIC with a "domestic" flag painted on it...

Trouble is the boat with 5 thousand Chibsons probbably slipped through. I dont condone Chibsons but not sure it will ever stop.Just like dope.

They will never be able to stop Chibsons, I even watched a video where the guy said his Chibson played better than his Gibson.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Well they seem to be gettin better at the forgeries. All one has to do is look on ebay and they dont try to hide nothing. All kinds of forgeries of every type not just Gibbys.Hell Fenders, ect. They dont show the headstocks. I got a legal Chibson its a Epiphone Lester.

 

[JohnnyGoo]
