      or the first thing to do to fix, is to purposely break the head stock off and have it correctly attached, better yet if that said company would just sell the damn guitar with the head stock either not attached, or use an epi made neck then the problem would dissapear. lol shame, go to music store, drop 3000 usd on a LP just to take it to a repair shop and say hey, can you rip the head off this thing and make it right.

    Hey bro! Greetings! I just wanted to let you know that I just picked up a lawsuit era Les Paul for an amazing deal. It plays like a guitar 3-4x it’s “value.” It’s Korean made, which I love, and the craftsmanship is barre none. It’s a Dillion DL-650 and I’m blown away. I never really liked Gibson, so this is my way of saying “no thank you!” to the big guitar companies in the USA.

    My first guitar was an early 70s Ibanez lawsuit Les Paul. My parents gave it to me in 77. It was beautiful and sounded amazing. In 88 I traded it for a Fostex 4 track which may be the worst trade of my life considering that today you can find the same 4 Track for around $50 dollars or less and the same guitar starting at around $1000 dollars or more. I wish I had kept that guitar. Side Note: The killer 20 watt vintage Gretsch tube amp they gave me with the guitar,I gave it away. That same amp is selling for about 2 grand today. Live and learn!

    Really nice intro, I love it. The Japanese really crushed the market a few years back with very close approximations of Fender and Gibson guitars. If you know the history of the market, and most people do, Fender basically gave it all away to the Japanese. I have a Tokia Strat, style guitar made in the 80's that rivals my 62' USA re-issue by Fender. They continue to still make nice stuff , but under their own brand names, like ESP for example.

I can still remember my mum calling me for dinner while I'm was learning "Colony of Slipper Men". Such a disappointment ... however the curry goat and rice and peas did soften the blow. Shout out to Brother Russ for having such a cool record collection. (but I digress). And thanks to the Lord for giving me good ears as there was little or no sheet music for this stuff at that time.

      It is tough to feel bad for a company that lives off a brand while declining in quality yet sticks it to customers because it's a Gibson. Gibson can suck it. Heritage seems to have it right and other brands are just fine. Gibson seems to carry itself like it is still the 70s or 80s.

      Ya but for only 3-10x the price you can get one made in the US that consistently over the last decade has produced an excessive amount of faulty examples. So many vids with dissatisfied owners pointing out the flaws on their multi thousand Gibsons. Missing binding, uneven finish, rough fret edges and of course the same electronic techs from the 60's. Why would you want a flawless, superior, replica for way less money? Why drive an affordable efficient vehicle when you could drop $80K on a giant V8 that barely makes 60hp/L??? #Murica

      My comment was a broad stroke comment for those who didn't pick up on it. One thing I do agree on is marking a product for example "Chibson" with lettering that is very obvious to mislead customers, yes this is wrong in every sense. Be that as it may, a shape of a product is hardly a "Trademark" or patentable thing, otherwise the builders of acoustic guitars would be screwed. For example if you look at Martin, Gibson, Ibanez ect ect ect the list goes on and on forever with new ones cropping up every year; all of their standard acoustic guitars are shaped the same, not all the exact dimensions are the same of course but generally the so called "creative design" have all been copied over and over for over a century. What CAN be trademarked is yes a name and or a specific method of wiring a pickup coil or wiring the components in a certain way so to speak, another broad stroke to cover a lot of ground quickly here. If shapes were patentable I would be a rich man and wouldn't even bother replying to such silly comments. I do own a company and people copy my ideas and methods all the time in addition they attempt and sometimes do steal my customers. What keeps one from running around pissed off all the time is the pride in the highest QUALITY of products and service I can possibly provide to my customers, THAT is what is in a name. Like I said before the argument has become quite a bore in my opinion. When a company with any name, sacrifices the once impeccable quality they once had for profits on the bottom line customers will go elsewhere. In the beginning it was Quality that made the Gibson name. Do your research before you purchase, there are excellent serial number resources right at your finger tips to authenticate an instrument. Once again to reiterate previous opinions, marking something such as the word "Chibson" for example is wrong and misleading agreed, the rest well that's always been up for grabs , do a little homework and open your eyes a little before you start trying bash someone you don't even know. Been in business for over 30yrs and about to retire from all this crap, when you have been in business that long you do have a different "viewpoint" and you open your eyes and get a grip or you don't survive.

Sure it sounds petty on that last one, but when you're paying for a custom shop Gibson, minor flaws like that are unacceptable. They stopped caring about quality years ago and live off their name only. Buy a Gibson made before 2000 if you want one.

His LP is an almost exact replica of the Gibson, then Gibson sued Ibanez for trademark. and mine is the first addition of the "Lawsuite" series. I still have mine today, and play it almost daily. It was bright white like the one shown in the video, but has yellowed with age.

      If you buy the guitar brand new and ship it to the states, there might be a significant chance it would be seized by customs. Since Fernandes or whomever is liable to get sued for copyright infringement for selling a new guitar to the states. What you really have to do, is get a buddy in Japan to open the packaging there and make it "used" so then you'd be all clear.
      It might work if you buy a demo guitar from there though

    Ive got an Aria Pro 2 guitar made in Japan from 1979 based on a Gibson Les Paul custom, It has a sycamore top, a middle pick up and it has a beautiful green finish, plus a coil tap switch. But talking about guitar shapes, this is slightly different from the proper Les Paul. It's a bit like a cross between an Aria PE and a Proper Les Paul, the cut away horn bit goes into a point, and with the uncut away bit forms an S shape and has a very Japanese'y look like the head stock which looks similar to Paul Reed Smith Guitars. I still use it, and it is still my best and favourite. when I bought it in 1979 it only cost £135 including the case.

  • @Zelomeisterdude

    It's curious. I wonder why they don't tweak the designs enough to avoid the trademark issue? America seems like a big market to not sell your product in, wonder what their reasoning is for staying out of our market? Does Fernandes/Burny produce guitars under other brand names, with different designs, that they do sell in the USA?

    • @trevor4533
      @trevor4533 6 лет назад +8

      Because if they tweak the shape, people probably wouldn't buy them. There's plenty off "tweaked" lp style guitars for sale in the US market that don't sell well.

      Trevor that's exactly it. Companies like Burny, Tokai and Greco are known for making copies of iconic American guitars so well they surpassed the quality of the originals so much they literally forced Gibson and Fender to up their game and are even credited by many for Gibsons decision to start producing reissues since that's basically what these companies were doing.
      I have some of these Japanese guitars and can tell you without hesitation that they are phenomenal.

    Gibson lets companies get away with cloning their guitars except for "one thing", the "Open Book" headstock. Even licensed Gibson clones aren't allowed to use the Open Book headstock. If they had just rounded or squared off the end of the headstock they probably wouldn't be banned.

Finish was super thick, and the headstock inlay was the flower design like the white one in the video.

    It looks and sounds good, but it just seems stupid for them not to work around the trademark. What's so special about the single cutout shape? Nothing, everyone uses it. It seems to come down to copying the headstock too closely. And that headstock is absolutely the worst design feature on the Les Paul, bar none. I'd copy everything else but leave that off. Take this model, chop of the headstock entirely, and swap in the right bridge to go with that choice, it would be an even better guitar, and they could sell it in the USA too.
