I Bought A Fake Greeny ... How Bad Or Good Is It? Kirk Hammett Might Actually Like This Thing!

- In this video we take an up close and in depth look at a Chibson Les Paul Greeny I purchased on line for just over $300. I was curious how good or bad this thing actually would be. I think the results will surprise you. I not only film the guitar in detail but provide a lengthy tone demonstration showcasing different tones and settings. I will never (and never would) opt to purchase the 20K version of this guitar, so in a way I feel justified in purchasing this guitar since the originals are so far out of reach for most of us (All of us LOL). So this was really just a fun experiment. Shortly I will do a pickup upgrade to some custom TNTones pickups being sent my way. They will be wound like Green Pickups with the out of phase option with the neck pickup in the middle toggle position. I also plan on upgrading the volume and tone pots along with the 3 way toggle switch. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!

Once again proving that amps are more important to tone then the actual pickups
Glenn would be proud of you. You have acended.
@@ChckyrsixHa! I had to check the name after I read the comment, I thought it was Glenn 😂😂
Why do you say that?
Sounds and looks fantastic! Perfect copy to take out playing and not be terrified to let it out of your sight!
@profoundsinger excellent point! 😳🎸
Indeed! Surprised how good it sounds out of the box!
You'll be gigging this guitar whilst someone will be breaking in at home to steal your good one.
@@Rich6Brew Na, his watchdog will eat them
I’m shocked that it plays lol
Great purchase. Looks great, sounds awesome. Can’t wait to see the changes you make on it.
As a real les paul owner..... I'm cool with chibsons. As long as you're not trying to pass it off as real. Besides, I'd rather take that to a gig than my real one!
Same, honestly. I bought a Donner Telecaster style guitar and after a few upgrades, It's a beast. EMG T-Series pickups, locking tuners and new fender string trees. Plays great.
I'm totally OK rubbing off the GIbson logo and basically using these like a base kit to build an "homage" to some of my favorite guitar players & their guitars. Definitely a "just for me" kind of thing
Past owner of 3 70's Kalamazoo artisans and numerous other LP's including a cherry in the 80's, and a natural w a maple neck in 2011, I obviously have a spot for the real thing, cost is a HUGE problem but....last thing America needs is more Chinese goods coming in. sorry
Exactly, can't replace vintage gear to replace vintage gear owned for forty plus years.
Also bought the Gary Moore relic for 307.00 love it .took 2 months to get here but exceeded my expectations, and keep it out ready to play and keep the oldies locked up.
Sounds really good, not what I was expecting at all, solid purchase man
Even if BOUGHT it hang on the wall as art its Pretty cool ,
From a distance, if you said you got a Gibson Greeny, I would totally have believed it! Like you said, even as wall art, it would be great! Neck pickup sounds better than the bridge pickup. Can't wait for part 2. Even though i think putting expensive parts in this makes no sense!
I played it at a rehearsal tonight and it held up well. I was impressed for what it is. It's pretty awesome. Thanks man!
Agree! Do Not expense this out! Didn’t get to the “warm” finger picking mood riffs but hey we’re talking electronics and fretboard strings, right? Adjusted or not, this is a $4k guitar.
I'm blown away not gonna lie, I build guitars so I know what goes into a build like that, how are they doing that for under $400 even with cheap parts and CNC machines? If you don't know what you are looking at you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this guitar and an actual Gibson, crazy!
I am not a guitar builder but I would guess they price is low due to the hardware, cheap electronics, multiple piece mahogany like/relative body, less good quality (possibly soft instead of hard) maple with veneer, cheaper workforce, probably 0 or very minimal marketing expenses etc
How do they make these at such a low sale price?
Either slave labor, or with subsidies from the CCP or both.
If a feller was handy he could build a wood frame around that foam packaging and skin it with thin plywood and case material, use the already supplied guitar shape on the inside and glue some type of fabric to it, screw handles locks and protective corners to it and you have a nice custom case for your Geeeeeiinah guitar!
It looks and sounds great! I bought two Chibsons (LP and ES-345) and a Chickenbacker 325 within the last two years and with minimal setup time by myself, they sound and look great. And as several commenters have said, why take the chance at a gig of having your "legit" guitars stolen or puked on? As long as you don't sell them as OEM guitars I don't see a problem with it at all. Plus, replacement parts sales for electronics and hardware on these copies drives a lot of $$$ back into the pockets of the companies we "cheated" on.
I can just imagine somebody coming up and puking on your guitar in a club. That would be bad, it happens all the time.
@@davidmarks5400 Indeed it was. A bar patron stumbled up to us during a break and asked if we could play Freebird. Then projectile vomited on my 1970 Les Paul Custom. Luckily, it washed off easily. But that was it for taking an expensive guitar out in public.
@@ishatype2764 Yeah, I've seen and heard just about everything out there-never seen or had one puked on though. Never had one stolen either during breaks or loading-unloading,one of us was always watching like a hawk.
Dude, awesome video. Sounds pretty good to my ears already. Looking forward to the next video with upgrades.
Ok, yeah that sounds really good! With minimal work so far, really liking the tones. Can't wait to see what else you do to it. Might have to get one myself but I know it can be a crap shoot when it comes to knock offs. Thank you for the video. Subscribed!
Crap shoot. I've spent more in a casino with nothing to show for it.
That actually sounds pretty killa for a chibson & looks pretty good too 🤘🤘
i bought one of these also. I had to adjust the truss rod as it would not play around the 7 fret.. got it dialed in. I also bought the real deal for 3100 bucks.. I have to say, I like the Chibson better.. there are so many issues with the real deal it's unreal.. I had to sand the neck to a reasonable size. It had bulbous sides and a lump under the wood near the neck/body connection. The nut sucks and sticks, the strings plink out. One knob was broken when it got here.. I almost returned it. I'm still working on it. Personally it's really hard to tell the dif in pickup sound.. my Chibson also has the dime sized Pots.. will put new electronics in it. Can't wait to see how you upgrade yours. This is not my first Chibson.. I have many, one already upgraded and that one sounds really different from my others.. so I was surprised that this Greeny sounded so good comparatively speaking. Have fun.
Man this chibson are getting better and better. Looks and sounds great 👍
I’m glad you bought a solid replica. It looks and sounds great.
Maybe I’ll buy that ace Frehley copy I’ve been eyeballing.
It’s awesome , with the price tag of vehicles the manufacturer should give them away , spare tire , & car jack to the buyers , they make more than enough profit
Looks Great.. I agree about the neck... I bet it will be Awesome with new pots & pickups.. Most of the Chinese Guitars my wife & I get are actually in cardboard not foam.. You could use the foam for a wooden Case if you make it...
That's a great idea.
I got one of these from China but mines got fret nibs I've changed everything its got Gibson reissue 57 humbuckers, Gibson pot's, vintage capacitors, Schaller turners, Gibson 3 way switch , frets leaved and polished ,relic hardware and like you say the neck and I put an artificial split in headstock like on the real greeny all in all it turned out to be a really nice guitar I still looking for a monty's bethnal green pad humbucker for the right price for the neck Good luck with yours
What seller did you get your LP from that offers fret nibs
I ordered one too yesterday. Will be here next week if everything works. Well, if it's not as good as yours, it'll serve as a very cool wall decoration.
That Guitar doesn't sound to bad, good deal!
Hoovies Garage! I see ya. You def got me closer to pulling the trigger on one of these. That thing's a gem and you saved a fair bit of money
What a great guitar for pubs and clubs. You definitely wont be shit scared to leave it unattended on the stage. I love the Japanese knockoffs Like Greco. Also look good and sound great, just put in a great pair of pickups and way to go. Great value for money.
I don't know how they feel under the fingers but wow those pickups actually sound pretty decent. It dosent seem like like your struggling to get the sounds u want out of the guitar. Some guitars u just dig and dig and u can never get it to respond and sound the way u want
It was surprisingly nice. I was quite shocked lol. 😂
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Is the neck thick like a 59??
Just sold my last 2 Chibsons this past week. No major flaws in any of the ones I bought; in fact I had better luck with them quality wise than Firefly. Just too many impulse buys over the last couple of years so thinning the herd. One of the main disadvantages is you will take a bath when you try to sell them on the used market since they are, well, counterfeits. Great playing!
how do you list them without getting pulled? i’m in the same boat , a gold es 275 .. only upgrade a retro whammy bar on the bigsby.. too many to ever use 😂
I've bought a few of these Chibsons and had a couple that were ok and 1 that was horrible. If buying one. You should be willing to replace bridge, wiring, pots ,caps, tuners and pups at a minimum. I would also replace nut and tailpiece.
Yeh, the bridge is a little sketch... but overall a killer piece. It's really quite impressive. Got lucky with this one. 😎🤟🏻
After all that replacing you are getting into the higher quality Epiphone bracket but would anyone know, i doubt it, if it looks pretty decent and it plays with the minimum amount of effort to set it up play it. All parts can be replaced as and when it suits or when its affordable, In my opinion these guitars are aimed mostly to the people who would like a Gibson Les Paul but cannot afford the stupidly high prices that they ask. who wants to pay $20,000 for a guitar that probably would only be put into storage some where. I have a 2002 Les Paul that i bought new and a cheap "Vintage make" V99 that i bought for a stupidly low price in a auction both play very similar and i would not replace anything. Both have faults but the £1600 GBP that i paid for the 2002 LP then is not justified now. I know people in the US will be saying that you should buy American made but if they cannot make something more affordable then go elsewhere, buy something that you can afford and play with the possibility that one day you can buy your dream guitar and these seem to fit the bill.
It sounds really good. I think that if you get a guitar with the same shape, same wood, and a good set of pickups, you would arrive at the same sound as something that costs thousands. All the fancy paint, and knobs, logos and other crap doesn't really do anything to improve the sound.
You either got lucky, or that is one HELL of a bargain! I would be happy with it as it is, regardless of upgrades.
That is what I was going to say, but could not put it into words. Thanks.
I think it sounds better then any Gibson, and quality is better too. I ordered this and prefer it over my R9 any time. Actually I sold my R9 and spent all money on girls and booze cause I don't need expensive useless Gibson anymore. Well done, Chibson!
Do you have the link for ordering? Thanks
I think they make good copies of Greenies, what I do is to flip the magnet180% in Neck pickup, so that in the middle position it has an out phase - a real greenie tone.
And one more important detail, I take out the metal bushings on the bridge, and place the screws that hold the bridge directly in the wood, this has a favorable effect on the transmission of resonance, like with old LPs.
I notice that the wiring is typical Chinese-serial, the capacitors seem to be soldered to the pin of the ton pot and the other end to ground.
It is better when one end of the capacitor goes from one of the pins of the volume pot (vintage/modern), and the other to one of the pins of the tone pot, certainly one of the other two pins of the tone pot is grounded.
Anyway, it looks and sounds good.
Marty you did really good on that one. I’ve been thinking about buying one too. I tried to relic one myself, but you were so right, it is hard to relic a laminate/veneer. I sanded through it. Turned it into a gold top. Looks pretty good. The back and sides look like the the real one. You can use a nail to scratch the head stick break and it will look fantastic. It will feel great when you sand down the neck. Enjoy!!
Jessie from Tennessee
Nice suggestions man! I am gonna do some more relic work on the neck and sides while I wait for the pickups to arrive. Then I'll reveal the final product. And demo both sets of pickups. On thing... the bridge kinda sucks. I may try to find an Epiphone or chibson bridge to replace this fake ABR. It's set ok now but now easily adjustable for future use.
Very nice! Sounds pretty good without any mods.
Yours is a lot better than mine! The build wasn't too bad, and it did have a 1 peace neck. But it looked nothing like Greene! I changed everything alnico 2s, lockingtuners, roller bridge, pots! Including refinishing! But the mid rounded neck shape! its now one of my favorites! Thanks Marty 😊 my had long neck tenning ps now mine looks nothing like greene!😅
Can you put the link up to buy this bud? Mite to order one
Very Cool, Thankyou. Stunning Guitar, Looks and Sounds amazing. I have tried ordering a couple of guitars from China to Australia, but for some reason our Customs has canned the deal. Got money back but still disappointing. I suppose it has something to do with 'Counterfeit' as I have ordered Rickenbacker copies. Would love one of these, but have just ordered from an Australian Company 'Artist Guitars' a LP 'Apricot Burst' which is Identical to the Slash "Apetite Burst" LP so will be my 'Greeny' Guitar too, lol, With Hard Case $400- so a good price for Australian Prices, and Artist Guitars make Quality Guitars with awesome finishes and amazing Playability. They are available now in USA market, apparently and well worth checking out if into quality 'Budget' Guitars. Cheers
I’m in The U.K. and have the Artist LP59, great guitar with amazing tones from their “Bullbucker” pickups which I believe are based on the Seymour Duncan JB Jazz set! Although ok, the bridge and locking tuners could benefit from being upgraded and I plan to when I have the time.
So far I have modified the headstock to look more like the Gibson “open book”, put on a more authentic looking trussrod cover, and added strap locks and a pick guard as I personally think Les! Pauls look naked without one
The pickups are supposed to be opposite of each other. Thats what made it a “greeny” the reverse polarity of the pickups is what gave it the signature sound.
The neck pickup for greeny was fixed and magnets put in wrong, making it out of phase. Putting pickups in backwards won't actually change the sound. It's the magnets.
What a great sounding guitar and what a price!
Hey Marty, I bought one of these (non-relic'd) Chibson Greenies about a year or so ago. I think I paid like 200 or 250 shipped. I love the guitar. I couldn't believe the quality---and for me, a very casual, at-home, non-gigging player, the guitar is close enough to the real thing for me. I found myself before ordering and after watching every Greenie documentary I could find. Happy I didn't have to pay what Hammett did, lol
I look forward to your series on this. Thanks 👍
where do you buy these at?
@@green461 by the hoo, it is legal to own at least one of these. As long as you aren't looking to resell it and/or advertise as the real thing. Based on my unsupported Google research, there is a slim chance it can get seized by customs and you will get a nasty letter from Gibson's lawyers. But for the most part, they are going after the major buyers and resellers. So order one at a time and be happy.
They let US citizens who have traveled abroad and bought a counterfeit item at least 1 item, because there is so much of this going on, and again, as long as it is for your personal use and you don't intend to sell it, you're fine. More info than you may have wanted, but questions I had before and during ordering.
@@dougsmaintenanceshop5868 Thanks, I did some research and found some. I want one to mess around with, i like rewiring, building them, basically a test mule and dont want to take apart and modify my real one. I ordered 2 off ebay, (different sellers) one greenie and then another R9 one. One was 100. so my expectations are low, if i can go through them and they are good enough platforms to replace everything cool.. if not they will be living room wall decorations. If the greenie sets up well i'll put some SD green magic pickups in, set it up like the real one, and have a nice sounding LP that i dont care if gets scratched... a beater kind of. and the other one to do some R&D work on.. to see what i can make of it.
I did the same about a month ago. I was surprised on frets and set up. It wasn’t bad. It felt good to play and didn’t sound bad. My top was really flamey but lighter shade with a very light coat of finish. As yours knobs and poker chip were terrible hardware on mine wasn’t reliced and had kluson tulip copies that look like pea soup. I thought the finish sanding could of been better. All in all I’m not disappointed. I’m doing the same as you and hope to have something looks cool plays well and I don’t have to worry about. Can’t wait to see more on yours
Dam I was surprised that sounded pretty good no lie.
Its funny that that has a more convincing relic than most big brands pull off
That is a great guitar and it sounds great. ...at least in your hands it does.
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
Sounds and looks great. Cost less then my new Chinese Jackson dinky. What can I say, I love the color purple 💜 lol
What an education! I'm tempted to take out a card and buy a Chibson right now . But still, I must buy American
It’s not supposed to have Les Paul on the headstock
Seems like a pretty good guitar.
Professional quality on all 4 corners of the world now made in America guitars as far as quality means nothing anymore
Great video! I got a relic'ed one last October. By the looks of yours, it looks like mine came from the same manufacturer as the fit and finish looks very, very similar. Mine's supposed to be a relic'ed '59 in dark sunburst, I turned it into a little Slash project and turned out great. Electronics and hardware aside, it's pretty well made and it even came with a well cut bone nut!
Very cool!! 😎
How do they do it?
....Or is it that, pound for pound, top-brand guitars are way too expensive.....?
I picked up '59 burst w/case for around $350, maybe 6 years ago. Frets were nasty at the edges and it weighed a tonne, plus had a huge neck compared to my Tele. I put it away for a couple years, but pulled it out last month and played it for a bit before I sold it, it sounded okay, but nothing of the sound and quality of the build you have there out of the box for the same price virtually. Quality has gone up in leaps and bounds by the looks of it..
Can't seem to find a single one of these Chibson Greenys on eBay - who was the seller?
It was a place called alljitar.... kinda weird they just dried up! 🤷
sorry if you covered this but can you tell us where you bought it from? want one. thanks.
It was eBay. They took it down. 🤷
But it says Gibson and not Chibson on the headstock! 🤔
That things sucks. You wasted 300 + $$..Hang it on the wall as art. That's what I did with mine.😮
Are you SURE that is a laminate too .? I see a 3/4 inch maple top in the pickup cavities
Not sure. But definitely not a real flame. A veneer for sure.
Ok....This is killer. Ill be honest. Im not into LP style guitars to the point id drop even 500 as if i had the funds for one id find a s style super or strat etc to buy. I know me. I keep saying i need one to have ...Id go for 350 top no doubt. Relics are cool but i am assuming if they built this one this good it would way cheaper un relic. Anyway great deal man. Id be happy!!!!!!!
Sounds amazing. Can we please get a link in the description for where to pick this up? Love your channel and playing!
Thanks so much man! Here ya go!

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker link doesn't work now. Been removed. What was the title wording of listing please?
Or sellers ebay name?
Looks good, sounds good, onley the test off time will tell!
The neck pickup is wrong. It should be turned around with the screws facing the bridge.
Check out my upgrade video 😎🎵
Worth every cent, it has a passable tone that is usable as is but ...nah mate I would rather save and get a used Gibson Tribute Les paul, the clean sound alone on a proper Gibson wins the toss. Put some OD and delay on any 200 dollar Guitar and it will sound similar. By the time you up-grade pickups , tuners, wiring etc etc you may as well start with a used "Tribute" but this type of thing will spur the big guys into offering better instruments for less or is it the other way round now, is Gibson the "little guy"?
Yeah, by the time you factor in pickups, electronic, tuners, a setup etc, you'd be better off buying a used Epi '59. OR if you really want the headstock shape, an Edwards E-LP.
edit: Haven't finished my coffee, and commented before finished reading yours. I'm basically just repeating what you wrote 🤣
Sounds great. What setup are you using when you start to play night train riffs?
Thanks, for TH-cam I run a Fractal AX8. Most of the time it's the Freidman BE amp setting with Friedman IR's from ML labs.
Do you have a lead where I can buy one? Most I see I cant see the headstock...
They just hide it so they don't get in trouble. 👍
I began watching, and right at 2:44, Ha!, the neck pick up should be flipped around.
Watch part two. Got everything all sorted out 😎🤟🏻
sounds like a 360$ guitar, certainly nothing like a Les Paul
😂😂. It sounds like it cost. In all honesty my Gibsons kill this thing but it sounds really good.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker ...well, in all honesty it doesn't sound like the cost you paid for it. What you paid includes all the material costs, administration, overhead, labour, marketing, shipment and realistic profit. Everyone in the business chain of making and getting that product to you needs to get paid & profit as well. A cheap knockoff guitar like that costs about 40$ to make. That's realistically what it sounds like
@@rodnyg7952 ok cool 🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker cool how you're oblivious to all of it
@@rodnyg7952 yeh. It doesn't phase me. Oblivious is the wrong word. Not bothered by it is more accurate. I just look for fun ways to make content for TH-cam when I'm not busy with other projects. It's all for fun. I know exactly what I'm getting when I buy Chinese trash. I own more Gibsons than most people have pairs of socks so I know quality when I play it. I just have fun and don't take things so seriously. 😎☮️
Gibson will register "authentic" as their IP. They did a "favor" with that stunt. Good looking guitar. 😊

Be sure to drive your Fiero/Ferrari kit car to the gig, while wearing your counterfit/replic Rolex to complete the look and vibe
They are using mahogany and maple tops and putting gibson on headstock but no where on mine is a serial number. I wanted a cheap copy and I am satisfied with what I got for 300.00. Got me practicing again which was the point,the vintage stuff stays locked up and this one stays by the couch.

sweeet "chibson" brother!

o ya and i had to get the "fendery" lookin strap buttons off and replace with a jackson style dull aged looking units....
Could have done with you playing some Greeny tunes baby.
Shouldn't the pickup screws face each other so that it's like the revered ones in the real one?
The one glaring thing to me is the very new-looking bright white nut, otherwise that looks amazingly good for the money. Any chance of a link to where we can order this specific one? I'm tempted...
Ya I'd be interested too..
Where did you get this? What's the sellers name?
eBay. Listing is now closed. 🤷☮️
Relic’d strings??
I’m going to sell mine, I’m a bigger fan of the Japanese lawsuit LP’s from the late 70’s -80’s….similar price range, better quality.
Are the Pickups, when the guitar cames from china, out of phase of this greeny? Or not?
Nope.
53 and 50 on the pickups could be pole spacing. 53 for bridge.
Those buckers sound pretty darn good !
Personally I would prefer a les paul that is in perfect condition but sounds just like the Greeny guitar.
Nice job on this one! I am jealous my Greeny vids arent nearly as good!
Could you divulge which company you purchase it from or website? I'm a lefty and want to see if they could make a lefty Chibson model

Gotta love heartbreaker definitely the song that gravitated me to the axe sounds good to me chibson huh gotta look into these thanks nice video ✌🏼
Thanks for watching man! 😎☮️
They do a really good job in China these days, especially for items that cost several thousands..
Just curious about people who own " copies ", when someone comes over and is checking out your gear, do you just tell em that it's a copy or say nothing and let it ride ( when they say " nice Gibson ")
Man, that chibson sounds great. Tell me about the secret behind the inverted neck pickup
The chinese ones I get are already in the USA they are not taped up like that.But they are in 2 cardboard boxes and form fitting Styrofoam. The greenie I got is great, so is the buckethead lp,Ace blue sparkle, slash Rosa corsa, neal moser crazy vee,jackson concorde copy many others all the ones you could only dream of playing. Never send money to china
I have been thinking of getting one but scared to buy from china
Or paying more from what they say for passing through customs
@@motoman963 don't do it ebay has them,that are in the USA I never order any that are not already here and get them in a week or less and always lowball ,they always counteroffer ,hit back a little higher ,I have done it 80 plus times
Which seller worked out for you with the Greeny?
@@atonesir just looked for the seller and no good bought it 11/20/22 they change names all the time, I think it is one warehouse with many names so if they get bad reviews they can just make up a new name.the one I got was $237.00 they are still out there
Looks great for a chibson man! Is there a chance of telling what is the name of the shop this came from?
Looks & sounds like the real deal!
Your playing sounds so much better in recent videos. Have you upped your game or is it just me? Maybe production quality?
Thanks man! Nah I think it all depends on how I feel. Lol. Or the time of day ... Maybe I have upped my game and not realized it. Haha.
the input jack is not a typical Gibson input plate. what’s on there is the same jack plate they put on 95% of Chinese guitars
Can I have the link or a keyword to search in the app please

Looks and sounds epic for the money (or even regardless of the money) but would you be prepared to share a link to the specific seller? It feels like a minefield of options and there are plenty of clips of people saying they’re satisfied but rarely ever mentioning or linking the seller. I’m terrified I’ll pick a dud. Thanks!
It's called A I technology, done by robot and computer. Perfect matched, no hands touched it. Body and neck all done before anything was put on.
Where u buy these I own one and is sounds bad I had to replace everything this would look nice to hang up and play
How can they legally put Gibson on the headstock? It clearly says Gibson not Chibson ?
Very cool.
Did you get it from Aliexpress or dhgate?
And which store?
Thanks!
She sounds good for a replica it's not a bad looking guitar I've seen much worse for sure. And coming from China , I'm not a fan of buying guitars from China but i would be happy with that one.
