The Law gets a boat load of Chibsons

"It’s got the best toan, believe me, beautiful tone. A lot of people, the best and smartest people, you know who I mean…they’re saying they’ve never heard toan like this. They said it might be the best toan they’ve ever heard, even better, some say, than Daniel Gilmore’s toan. Yuge toan."

I just checked the website.

The American Eagle electric guitar ($1500.00) is sold out.

The autographed American Eagle electric guitar ($11,500.00) is also sold out.

American Eagle acoustics, both signed and un-signed, are still available.

The Presidential Series is still available ($1500.00).

According to the website, the American Eagle series is limited production. The website doesn't say if the Presidential Series is also limited production.

All of the electrics are Les Paul-style guitars.

Aside from being a bolt-neck guitar, the Les Paul-style guitars do not exactly follow the Gibson Les Paul shape.

Here's a little side-by-side comparison shot I put together. Presidential series on left. Gibson Les Paul Supreme on right.

The lower horn curls in just a hair less than the Gibson model and the shoulder of the upper bout is slightly sloped. Also, they use a different headstock shape. So, it's debatable if Gibson will choose to sue over trademark infringement.

It will be interesting to see in the next 15 to 20 years if we start seeing these pop up on the used market. I don't really think guitars are a good investment, but I can see others buying these with that expectation.

As of yesterday Gibson hits Trump with Cease and Desist order. Good luck with that one.

I literally just saw that, as well. Interesting, huh?

Here's a Guitar Max update.


But, in a way, much of the damage (such as it is) has already been done. The solid-body American Eagle series (the Les Paul shape) has already sold out.
 
I seen that also. As Smitty pointed out theres alot of difference in the shape so ya good luck with that one.

I'm not sure if I am more disturbed by the mere existence of these things, or the fact that anyone would actually buy one.
 
All of these companies make Gibson style guitars with their own names on the guitars: PRS, ESP, Schecter, Eastman, Ibanez, Edwards, Tokai, Greco, Burny, Agile, Wolf, Harley Benton, Firefly, D’Angelico, Yamaha, Guild, Godin, Sire, Heritage, etc. If you're going to buy a real Gibson, you better use a very reputable company or know a real Gibson from experience.

At least they have their own names in it. Not Gibson's.
