Congratulations on your new Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. From where I can see, it looks gorgeous. I love Les Paul Custom in Ebony. I am 63 years old and I have 6 Les Pauls. All Epiphone. Zero Gibson. I am happy and contented with their quality. Enjoy!!
So you support 13 yr old kids doing 12 hour days at 15 bucks a day for a Chinese company that copied a patent from 1954 and do you realize if someone knows you have one they can call the cops and they can take it from you lol plz do your research
Better check the box and the foam insulation that little button or knob is probably in there somewhere or on your floor where you removed the guitar from its box.
I bought a Chibson at Ali Express, looks nice, the finish is flawless, but all the hardware was the cheapest i've ever seen, the pickups were so lightweight that i was wondering how they worked 😅. Swapped all the hardware to Epiphone parts with Probucker PUs and Gotoh Tuners. The Chibsons sounds now as good as an high class Epiphone LP. All in all i paid about 390 €. 👍🏻
I played it thru a Fender 68 deluxe fairly loud and only noticed it being slightly microphonic when my pick tapped the neck pick up, however the bridge pick up is clean and is not microphonic. So, you are onto something there! Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Now if we can get them to make us a few Chemmons Push/Pulls for $300.00, THEN we will have something!! Merry Christmas and the best to you guys in 2025!!
You can find a good epiphone with case for 300 I just bought a epihone LP pro with case yesterday for 300 and it's great I own 7 Epiphones get you a epiphone and compare it to that guitar there is a world of differences 🙏God bless you 🙏
I belong to a group of Chibson owners on Facebook (even though I haven't bought one yet😁). They are absolutely stunning guitars, and although most have slight flaws, well worth the money. Yours is gorgeous and I wish you many hours of pleasure playing it! Thanks for sharing!❤️

Those are fake grovers, on your fake guitar... A real one has a nitro finish. The pickups and all electronics are different. It is not the same as a "real one" but if you have fun, enjoy it. Maybe get a real one at some point.
Buddy, I would be concerned with Gibson coming after you for buying counterfeit guitars. They are not known for being a NICE company more for being a load of assholes..

There are many differences. Once you plug it in and really get into it, you'll find out.
I have a real alpine white Gibson custom and you can definitely tell a difference. But as long as you don’t pass it off as a true Gibson then enjoy!
It definitely doesn't compare to a real one, but it's a fun guitar! 😄
Tommy looked very pleased with his purchase. It was good to hear both of you. Happy New year Teresa and Tommy!!
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you as well!
@@garryretiredcableguy5292 nice guitar Tommy
If you see no difference then it’s perfect for you. There are MANY MANY differences between that and a real one though. 😂
I do realize there is a difference but not a $5000 difference!😊
@@TMeAdventures You can find a ACTUAL made in USA Gibson for under 1000. Maybe not one with the binding and the inlays and the gold hardware....
My goodness I was thinking about you two yesterday! Happy New Year🎉
Aw, thanks! Happy New Year to you as well!
Great video! I hold out hope for you that it stays in tune better than my £40 chandolin 😂. Have a great new year!
Happy new year!
very beautifull guitar !!!! enjoy it!!! merry christmass and a happy new year!!!
Thanks, you too!

The "Tommy Hawk" of guitars. 🎸 🤭 Happy New Years. God bless you both
The "Tommy Hawk" of guitars - I like that! 😂😊
Love Gubsons congrats 🎉❤ Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you too!
Good to see u guys back on tube again.
Let me know if there's a Chibson Uke in the works, lol
Have a great New Year!
Happy New Year to you too! We’ll definitely keep you posted!
Happy New Years!!! Hope all has been well. Miss hearing from ya. Hopefully catch with you soon.
Happy New Year! We'll be back with more videos soon.
Have fun with it! I had a sammick lespaul from Korea back in the 80's and it was a decent player.😊
Thanks! 😊
@TMeAdventures I enjoyed watching the video because I know what it's like on new guitar day! It's fun to see people light up.
You should look in the bag or in the box for the switch tip they usually ship them loose so it dont break while shipping
Thanks for the tip! I'll take a look.
Happy New Year Teresa and Tommy!
Happy new year!
Where did you buy?
AliExpress
@@TMeAdventures can you put the sellers link in please?
How'd you manage to get one?? They just had that huge raid.
I have no idea. I have other friends that ordered guitars same time as me, about 3 weeks ago .
Happy New year guys
You too!!
Congrats. In addition to having Gibson LPs I got a couple of Chibsons LPS. Nice guitars for the money. Look for the switch tip in the box.
Thanks, I'll have to check that out!
Happy New Year Tommy and Teresa and T & Me TV !!🎉 I wonder if the Chinese will ever get into the pedal steel guitar market. ???
Happy new year ol’ friend! If they could copy a pedal steel guitar like they do everything else , it would probably be amazing.
You are blessed with a fine wife, hug her tightly. Congratulations on your new guitar also by the way 😊
Thank you so much!
LOL at Carpetbagger staring at you in shocked disbelief from your television.
Good eye! Now that’s funny!😂
Better check the box and the foam insulation that little button or knob is probably in there somewhere or on your floor where you removed the guitar from its box.
Good call! I'll take a look.

When you play it through a very loud amp with gain you will see how microphonic the pickups are.
I played it thru a Fender 68 deluxe fairly loud and only noticed it being slightly microphonic when my pick tapped the neck pick up, however the bridge pick up is clean and is not microphonic. So, you are onto something there! Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
It is a cool guitar, play it and enjoy it! that is all that matters!
The pick ups are shit the hardware is garbage the wiring is shit the truss rod is garbage the fret inlays are shit.
Actually, I have many guitars as I play for a living. This one is really great quality.
@@TMeAdventures quit defending your choice to buy shit.
Nice one Tommy...👌
Thanks 👍
Sawdust and glue is heavy 😅
Ha! You’re probably right! 😂
Now if we can get them to make us a few Chemmons Push/Pulls for $300.00, THEN we will have something!! Merry Christmas and the best to you guys in 2025!!
I hear that! Happy new year!

Unusual packaging, I bought the aliexpress Rickenbacker 330, then I bought real one
Interesting!
The fake tree and fake Gibson go great together
😂😂😂

I’m so glad you liked it! I can’t wait to start jamming on it!
Beautiful guitar!! Hope you and Teresa have a very Happy New Year🎉❤
Thank you so much! You too!
I'd rather buy the next best thing Epiphone you can't go wrong.
Too late !😂😊
Happy new year you guys
Happy new year Ron!
That is a beautiful guitar. Hope you two have a Happy New Year.
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you as well!
where did u get it from???
i need me one
Aliexpress on the internet.😊
@@TMeAdventures oh thanks 🫡
That thing sounds like a bag of spanners.
😂Especially when I play it!
Don’t think it’s that,@.
Those Grovers are not real either not even close and I'm sure the pickups are horrible spend the money get you a epihone they are great guitars 👍
Thanks for the advice.

Buddy, I would be concerned with Gibson coming after you for buying counterfeit guitars. They are not known for being a NICE company more for being a load of assholes..
There are lots of TH-camrs posting the same thing. I would think US customs will shut it down soon.
Oh come on lol, to say there is virtually no difference - you must not own a real one. Sure it's probably decent for $285
I do realize there's a difference, but it's not a big enough difference for me to justify the extra cost.
.....
Junk grovers. no fun
Well that’s right. They are logo Grover but definitely not Grover!😂
ITS A RES PAUR
Now that’s funny!😂😂
