Keep up the good work,nobody is being foolish buying a chibson, mine blows my other budget LPs away,these are simply the best budget guitar you can buy,for the money period.
I’m ordering my Randy this week. Can’t wait. I’ve been playing since the 70’s. Dozens and dozens of guitars. I can’t wait to start getting these and making them my own. I’m a master of Frankensteins. Hey guitar snobs? Suck it! People like us and cool places like Fulton Street Beats and going anywhere
Just bought a Chibson Jimmy Page #2, it came absolutely perfect right out of the box, I've never had a Gibson that was even close straight out of the box😅
There will always be haters. You got the best guitar channel on RUclips IMO. Shake em off and keep up the great reviews/videos.... we appreciate you brother!
Beautiful Randy Rhoads LP and it really pays off to work with the seller and let them know exactly how you want the guitar made and customized. Paying a little extra is worth it when you can get a good quality guitar and not have to pay thousands of dollars.
Great content! Cant wait to see what you do with the ESP style. Side note.. Like your divided pick-up shelf above the guitars. Gotta keep em separated... and now that song is stuck in my head.
I have a very old Schecter PT in that Fender off-white and the body has ambered a couple shades or so in these decades. The maple neck has gotten more yellow-tan too. Normal UV exposure, a little bit of smoke. No problem, just growing old gracefully. Sometimes in newer guitars trying to look old it gets overdone a little though. Better to err on the light side when 'aging' guitars or furniture. You can always darken it.
Thanks for explaining the yellowing! I remember how the piano keys were super yellow on my great aunt's old ragtime job! You got a lot of super nice goodies, especially the pickups.... there's a little secret sauce in some of those... My 59 VOS has deadnutz on PAF sounding jobs!!! Also, BTW, that MOP looks better than any I've seen.
@@FultonStreetBeats Wow!!! the MOP has like a 3D effect! That's a super sweet guitar & I bet that seller couldn't dupe another one dead on! I've got my eyes on a Frampton black beauty, but I might have to special order it because Framp's has a solid mahogany with no maple cap & that extra resonance just adds to the Phenix
I just ordered my first Chibson from ebay, primarily based on your reviews. I have my fingers crossed that it's a good one! The good news is the seller did respond to a request I made.
Love your reviews man. I have a few and they’re nice guitars. I haven’t seen you do a Buckethead LP Chibson yet, or maybe I haven’t found it but I hope you do order one and review it.
I just got a black beauty chibby in the mail today along with being up here in Chinada Amazon had the gold bat firefly which I got a few weeks ago, very impressed with both but the firefly bat is beautiful feels great sounds great
Beautiful RR Les Paul .....Gibson only released the black and Alpine white Les pauls.....They are not creme.....they turn creme after maybe 3 to 5 yrs and turn into the yellow/ honey colour many decades later....Its a patina effect over time.....But!!!! Not all white guitars do that one Gibson flying V i owned only faintly turned creme after 10 years. The using of the Gibson name is morally wrong and i think as a compromise the chinese should call them a CHINSON. There are many others of these recent guitar's from China 🇨🇳 that dont bear the Gibson name. Viewers can check out these and many other designs colours etc from Eliexpress....Just yesterday i came across a black les paul with the white polka dots like on Randy's Karl Sandoval flying V.....It's mind blowing what is available. Great video i enjoyed it very much.
I appreciate the in-depth explanation on the color! So sounds like you'd recommend ordering from their custom shop rather than rolling the dice on anything 'stock'? There's no way I'd ever find my old Custom (if I did I probs couldn't afford it) so ordering one the way I want it is an attractive idea.
Where are you custom ordering the RR Les Paul from? I would like to order one with a slim neck. Also are the necks real rosewood or ebony or are they HPL?
I had a cream colored Gibson Les Paul custom SG from 1986 that I bought in 1989. Now it's a yellow Gibson Les Paul custom SG. I can't believe she's going to be 40 soon. I never thought that I would have a vintage Gibson. The problem is I am also vintage. I got lucky with the Tim Shaw pickups and I have three of them and they have gold covers. That Randy Rhodes Les Paul is gorgeous and sounds great. Did you do any mods on it? Or does it play that good out of the box? I would love to have that Les Paul. It would go good with my Gibson.
I’m interested in ordering this exact guitar, same specs and everything you did. I just have never bought one of these before, would you be willing to share the details with me on what exactly you asked for and from where please?
My only issue is they put the Gibson name on the headstock, if they get out in the wild a unsuspecting person could get duped into believing it’s the real thing.
That would be really hard for anyone to mistake this for a Gibson. Knob placement, truss rod, No volute. wrong electronics, wrong tuners wrong nut.. The list goes on and on. And a Gibson Randy Rhoads, would cost 10k.
Not necessarily the RR but any counterfeit, I wouldn't assume everyone is as knowledgeable about Gibsons as you, Ive been playing a long time and even some some of the Fender Stratocasters can be difficult to distinguish from knockoffs...just saying @@FultonStreetBeats
@FultonStreetBeats some of us just can't afford a gibson that carries the real name so thats the best second option. Bro mind your damn buisness. People know the difference. Nobody is trying to fool anyone except ourselves and I'm fine with that because for 280 dollars these guitars are FUCKING AWESOME
Most people don't realize that the reason white Gibson finishes turn to cream is they use Nitrocellulose Lacquer which ambers over time and can be greatly affected by exposure to uv light, etc.. Most manufacturers use polyester or polyurethane.
@FULTON STREET BEATS I have a silly question for you... Do you use the same seller on all your guitars? The quality seems to suggest it might be. I have a Chibson and it is really nice. Made well. Thanks for info. No need to say who seller is. You do talk about Allie Express. Not sure if sellers within or A.E. is the seller. Love your content!!! Thanks for entertaining the question. "Keep your fingers on the strings and keep strummin'"
No, I order from various sellers on most major platforms. Ebay, Aliexpress, RUclips sponsored ads, Facebook Sponsored ads, DHgate etc.. I just make sure the sellers have good communication before I order, so I cut the risk of surprises. I have noticed that many of the seller links change to different guitars or to not available notices many times after purchasing. I believe sellers are always changing up store inventory. Thanks for watching brother 🙏
It stays in tune very well. It's a backing track. Backing tracks are used on this channel to see how well guitars blend in a mix. Sometimes, I will play two parts with the same guitar. And sometimes I use tracks with a backing guitar already inserted. If you listen to this on hi-fi, you can clearly distinguish the two tones from each other. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Fascinating video .. But I have to admit I'm somewhat confused (a) that one is able to order and have custom-built basically a "law suit" Gibson -- I'm not upset just, like wondering how that is even possible and (b) wondering if there is a link to a particular seller that does this sort of thing ..? I did the ol' Google and just kept winding up with build-your-own-guitar-kits on Ali X
Could you please tell me where too send for chibson guitar from AliExpress could you send me the web site because I tried and it wouldn't let me and I want to get Eddie guitar
You got me really interested when you said it had a thin neck that's why I can't stand playing baseball bats I mean Les Paul's lol and you know what if that's the color you like brother more power to you whatever floats your boat
I don't say because the seller link is in the unboxing video. And links change on Aliexpress. This was an update video. I say right in the video that the link is in the unboxing video. Thats the reason.
Randy's original guitar was Alpina white and aged to the cream color due to natural aging, travel and being gigged. Gibson started offering the antique white finish to simulate the aged white due to overwhelming request some 15 years ago if I remember correctly. Your color is just too yellow to be completely honest. If you saw his guitar in person, you would not be as satisfied as you are now.
Guys I went back to look at the store name and when I click on it. It gives me an error like their store is no longer in business. Has anyone has this same issue?
That looks like a very nice guitar. Makes you wonder why spend $2000 more on a Gibson. I have a real Gibson SG. I love it, but like all Gibsons its not even close to perfect. My Harley Benton sg style guitar has much better fit and finish. But the Gibson has something…its got character in a good way. Sounds amazing and plays amazing. But I do not doubt China could build me a better one for $1500 less.
I've got a black Custom and love it. Haven't changed anything except polish the frets and new strings.
Did you order from P4M?
MAN!! I really look forward to your vids and Chibson reviews/updates!! Another great vid!! Thank you for doing these!!
Glad you like them!
Another great vid Mike. Love your chops. Can't wait to see what the next project is.
Keep up the good work,nobody is being foolish buying a chibson, mine blows my other budget LPs away,these are simply the best budget guitar you can buy,for the money period.

Where did you get that from? I would love a Jimmy Page #2. I been thinking of getting a Chibson.

Dynamite guitar man thanks for the video :)
Chibson! ✔️
I ended up getting the Ace Frehley and this Randy Rhoads because of you both turned out great.
That's such a beautiful guitar I hope you enjoy it.
My chibson arrived i wish i asked for slim neck because this one is beefy. Its very good build will order more of them in the future. :D
Thanks for the videos
Thanks for watching 🙂
such a beautiful instrument i need it
Love the intro! 👏
Excellent axe too, damned THICK!

Whats the name of the store you bought the chibson randy rhodes from? I cant find it
I just got a black beauty chibby in the mail today along with being up here in Chinada Amazon had the gold bat firefly which I got a few weeks ago, very impressed with both but the firefly bat is beautiful feels great sounds great
FULL WATCH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks brother!
My buddy got one of those recently I sent him to your house!!!!! @@FultonStreetBeats
That was a badass riff in the intro.
Its a backing track that a buddy sent me. It might even be on RUclips. If i find out who it's by, I will post it in the description.

I bought a new 1983 Gibson les paul custom pearl white! Still have it! And yes, they get yellowish! But still beautiful!!😊
@ginaparker-langley no mines a real Gibson from a music store in Nebraska! No holes! Mahogany, maple,real ebony! The real deal!
She's a beauty!
thats wild!
the pups in my chibson sg are reading similar numbers....voiced diffrently possibly?
sweet guitar there brother!
What website did uou find that on?
Where are you custom ordering the RR Les Paul from? I would like to order one with a slim neck. Also are the necks real rosewood or ebony or are they HPL?

I got one because of your video! A lefty version even! 😃
May I ask, where did you get the brass cavity covers from?
I had them made local.

Quickest way I can tell the dif is in frett hight, a real Gibson has very tall fretts, everything fake has little fretts, even Epiphone
So what are you gonna buy me a 1200 dollar guitar? For the name? If not than mind your buisness and let me enjoy my fake 280 dollar fake gibson
@FultonStreetBeats some of us just can't afford a gibson that carries the real name so thats the best second option. Bro mind your damn buisness. People know the difference.

Do you have a way to contact this seller? Or the new shop name? I can no longer find this shop/seller and really want this exact setup lol
Nice guitar! ❤
Thanks brother 🙏
My only complaint is that you didn't play the guitar some more for us to hear! 😉😉❤❤
I think it’s a great guitar if you you like it. Looks and sounds good to me.

Do you ever buy off of DH Gate or do you only buy from Ali?? Thanks for the great content.
I haven't ordered from DH is a good many years.
Dear Sir,
Where can I buy your guitar?
Thank you kindly
How much did you pay for the guitar and shipping?
Could you please tell me where too send for chibson guitar from AliExpress could you send me the web site because I tried and it wouldn't let me and I want to get Eddie guitar
Thats the problem with links from Aliexpress. They change all of the time. Sorry. I wish I could help.
You got me really interested when you said it had a thin neck that's why I can't stand playing baseball bats I mean Les Paul's lol and you know what if that's the color you like brother more power to you whatever floats your boat
Who do you buy from on Ali-x though?, that's the question.
How can I get a hold of your dealer
who was the seller?
He won't say for some reason

I'm ordering a guitar from this seller, they have told me the shop is on holiday for 1 week, just checked the shop and guitars are showing
🎸🤘🙂
That looks like a very nice guitar. Makes you wonder why spend $2000 more on a Gibson. I have a real Gibson SG. I love it, but like all Gibsons its not even close to perfect. My Harley Benton sg style guitar has much better fit and finish. But the Gibson has something…its got character in a good way. Sounds amazing and plays amazing. But I do not doubt China could build me a better one for $1500 less.
You have a thing for Lester Paul's don't you Mikey ? Lol
Buy a Chibson and with the rest of the money, put a down payment on a house instead of buying a Gibson lol
Great video! I always appreciate your oppinion. You were one of the reasons I got my own china guitar. I have ordered six of them in one month 🫣
The addiction has begun. Lol. Thanks for your support brother 🙏
Is there any links to a vendor that has these that you can special order like you did?
