Chibson Randy Rhoads Les Paul Custom Guitar Unboxing: 2023 Replica From AliExpress
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2023
- Join us for an exciting unboxing of a custom-built 2023 AliExpress Chibson Randy Rhoads Les Paul, meticulously modeled after Randy's legendary 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom. This guitar is a true homage to one of the most famous and iconic instruments in rock music history. We'll explore every detail, from the custom Randy Rhoads engraved pickguard to the yellowed aged finish that captures the vintage vibe of the original.
But the big question is, how closely can the Chinese artisans mimic the magic of Randy's original '74 Les Paul? At just $358.00 USD, complete with a custom case, this Chibson Les Paul is a fraction of the cost of the genuine article that fetches thousands. We'll dive deep into the specs, including the X Jumbo stainless frets, full-size pots, fret nibs, and the pin-style ABR bridge with all-gold hardware. The craftsmanship might just surprise you!
This was a custom Build.
I purchased mine from the seller Below. Link only provided for transparency purposes Shop1102961011 Store

and there are exciting upgrades planned for this beauty. Stay tuned for more content as we transform this Chibson into a rock 'n' roll masterpiece.
Later we will dive into the stock sounds of this guitar and document the upgrades as we go.
Learn about the history of Randy Rhoads' famous 1974 Gibson Les Paul and how it became an iconic symbol in the world of rock music. From the blistering solos with Ozzy Osbourne to his time with Quiet Riot, this guitar played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of an era.

I've notice last 2-3 years Chibson quality has gotten extremely better!
I've been playing for over 10yrs and I am still at beginner level I am not going to spend thousands on a guitar with the talent I have so this is a great option to get a replica without breaking the bank.
Everyone wanted to see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks Beautiful... The case is well done as well... Cheers 🍻 🎸🎼🎶🎵
Another amazing video!! I really am digging how that guitar looks I am going to order one I think!!!! Love your attention to details and explaining everything as you go through it!!!
Thanks for letting us know the good builders are out there. Hit or miss with no known good dealers is not a good way to go.
What a great show. I'm glad I came across your show on Richard seems to be well put together you show a lot of enthusiasm and I appreciate you
Absolutely amazing at that price. Custom made? Wow. !!!
Great, I'm an old musician from the past, retired on fixed income, had every guitar that I ever wanted. Now without, I am thinking about getting one or two of these. It's nice to see you open this guitar. Like your collection!
Thank you 🙂
@@FultonStreetBeats hi, I cannot find the shop anymore 😢
They are getting better and better with their builds
Beautiful Done❤
Loving these chibson videos 👍🏻
Thank you. And thanks for watching!
I can't wait my chibson to arrive. Nice in depth video. :D
So awesome!! 🔥💪🎸🤟
I'm binge-watching these Chibson videos. I will have to take the plunge someday.
Very nice bud. Been watching your channel a lot lately and it has been making me miss my Les Paul. Haven’t played in years and thinking I’d really like to as it would give me something to do to help take my mind off my health issues.
Excellent video, loved the OTM intro, THICK axe!
😮
Thanks brother. Always look forward to your videos.
Thanks brother!
Love the videos
Love your show !! im looking to have a chibson made like this 1 with jumbo frets ... Great Work
Thank you!🙂
I would pick it , I love the yellow tv kind of look …❤
I always order with a case for safety. Mine is more a faded vanilla and a fav of mine!
Nice!
Another incredible pickup Mike. Your eye for picking out these diamonds in the rough is unparalleled. I gotta say one thing though buddy, and obviously this is completely subjective, I didn't care for the brass poker chip. It didn't seem to flow with this specific guitar. Anyway, keep up the great work. I see you're over 7,000 subs. Onward and upward kid.
Kinda makes you want one.
Loving these vids man. Please keep ‘em coming. There’s a white and red John 5 tele they have on Ali u gotta test for us!
Really enjoying your enthusiasm and education, great work and great video
Thanks brother 🙏
This might be the video that finally gives me the push to order a Chibson. Not particularly looking for a Randy Rhodes LP, more so looking for something of the quality of this particular Chibson. Just need the confidence in finding a good guitar from a good seller, this may be the one, thanks again@@FultonStreetBeats
I ordered the Randy Rhoads polka dot flying v this morning. It was $320 shipped it will be here by Friday. I'll let you all know how it turns out
Nice! please update when you can!
I got my v and am very pleased. Have you found a case that fits it. None of mine do nor my gig bags even my bass bag
Awesome! 💯🎯💥 I bought a Chibson, but my frets needed to be leveled, and even with the bridge down all the way touching the body... the strings are too high 😢 Thank You, this gives me hope to try one more time. 😃
Long life tô Chibsons!!
Killer guitar man :)
Yep, looks friggin awesome! What a cool guitar. I can just imagine what the real reissue would cost😮
I might just have to order one of these. Not to shabby for a chibson. Would love a Rhodes LP for my collection. But just like you I'd definetly change out the pickups and pots. But that thing is pretty nice 🤘🤘
My jaw dropped when you said the price, dayum! I thought, even a Chibson, being custom built would be at least 5 or 600+... and that even includes the case? Incredible
Another excellent video though... I appreciate it!!
Thank you!
Looks great for the cost plus case bet it sounds darn good
Over the mountain 🔥🔥 nice guitar. Headstock is a tiny bit long. Randy is the best 🤘🤘
sweet chibby guitar brotha!
mick ronson had 2 black knobs and 2 gold knobs on his LP....it would look sweet on this one as well! plus a black switch tip woooo! thats just me tho lol!
ya gotta get the size threads correct...could be 3.5mm/4mm/even more or less....
i recently won a ibanez gax70(goodwill auction) modeled after the G double cut....im thinkin it was before the sg model....she needed lots of love...but for 51bux i aint cryin about it haha!
Bad ass!!!
Congratz on this new instrument! I have one of this, from 2014. Love that guitar! I ordered with custom headstock logo. I have just changed the pickups for some that reminds Randy's sound. I need some advices on how to convince my wife that i need more and more guitars!
Flowers and diner for no reason. Then, while it's fresh on her mind how wonderful you are, be very subtle and say how amazingly cheap good guitars are now. She will either catch on to the plot or give in. Lmao. 🤣 It don't work for me but, hey you never know😂😂
@@FultonStreetBeats hahaha thanks man! I read somewhere that if you buy guitars with the same color, they don't realize there's a new one
Sweet jesus!!! That looks amazing! 😮😮😮😮😮
My new baby. Honestly, I love it. I'm having a hard thing getting anything else done. I have products backing up for review. But I can't put it down long enough. Lol.
@@FultonStreetBeats I'm glad it worked out. That's a great feeling not being able to put down a guitar. When you ran your fingers over the fret dressing and right away you knew. Thanks for the Alibabaexpress link. I never pulled the trigger on a chibson but now you got me thinking of a 50's LP goldtop, Ebony fret board, one piece C shaped chunky neck, long tenon, jumbo wide frets, tummy relief, 5 ply binding on the front body, neck and head stock. The fret dressing should be like butter (like your Randy Rhodes). Split diamond pearloid inlay on headstock, pearloid inlays on the fingerboard. Solid mahogany body - no maple cap(it's a gold top, right). Black beauty capacitors, cts pots with split coil on both neck & bridge pickups. Gold hardware. Kluson tulip 18:1 tunas. And lastly, if they can do it, I would love the horn to be a little more pointy.
I have 2 chibbys snake pit lp and an alpine white got pretty lucky with both I am eventually going to put new pickups in the white one not a fan of the gold ones and get some better quality ones in it
I've watched several of your awesome videos. And I'm very interested in some of these lesser expensive guitars. I apologize if you've posted it and I've missed it. But could you please tell me what links your purchasing these guitars from? I've seen a few online, if you want eBay. I'm interested in a randy roads and evening Vincent guitar. Thank you so much for your time
I could not care less about minor cosmetic imperfections at the sort of price these cost. What's most important is it playable. Does it intonate correctly..and then how does if feel? Weight matters (esp with Les Paul type guitars which can be like boat anchors) and the shape of the neck. All that aside, tuners , electronics can be replaced to taste.
Has anyone put on GHS Boomer's 10-46 on it? Which are the strings Randy used.
Hi! Thanks for the videos. Nice job! Do you know from your experience if it’s possible to order a Chibson without the Gibson logo? Thank you! Keep up the good work!
So sorry. I just saw this. Yes they can do custom logos
So, I stumbled over your channel cause I bought a 1980's Austin LP. and was looking for similar videos on Gibson copies. Love the videos so far and Gibson purists and gate keepers can F off. I bought a real Gibson a couple years ago and it doesn't come close to the Austin as far as fit and finish. Sound and playability however? That's a different story. Plays and sounds decent. Good job so far brother.
Welcome aboard!
Nice video. Interesting to see how they build custom orders nowadays. Did you specify nitro lacquer? I asked the mentioned seller, and he said they did polyester. Also, Gibson Les Paul Customs feature real mother of pearl. That really sets them apart from epiphone and most knock-offs. Not as their standards, which use pearloid. You did the acetone test in the previous video, are you sure that wasn't just shielding paint or similar?
Poly is standard finish according to the woman I dealt with. Nitro is available upon special request on a custom build. For ($20.00 upcharge,) ( and no guarantee that the finish will not crack during shipping), this is why most Nitro finishes you see on chibson are relic'd. It's easy for them to relic Nitro and no returns due to cracking.
MOP board inlays are also available at another upcharge. I chose acrylic, like comes on Gibsons standard models instead. Many options are available, such as upgraded electronics with many sellers. I have not cavity tested this guitar for nitro. It will be done when we do the teardown to verify. One important thing when dealing with China is to ask the seller the same question in a few different ways so things dont get lost in translation. That's the hardest obstacle to overcome. As for the black lp style guitar. Yes that was tested for nitro. They did use shielding paint. However, my test is on the top where the pickup ring sits. Not in the cavity. I will be demonstrating in an upcoming video soon. Thanks for watching.
Seems to me like THOSE are the kind of immigrants we want coming into this country. Hard working, skilled, and fast. We need the USA custom shop to crank those Gibsons out!
With the headstock logo and case logo being covered, did you have to ask for them to do that or do they normally do that anyway ?
They did it themselves.
they getting better and better building les paul copy , only $360 freedom dollars and with case , thats insane.
I definitely recommend looking for a bit longer as theirs sellers with better builds with more accurate inlays etc , look at jacey guitars etc
I am very satisfied with this builder. They did everything I requested. If I wanted different inlays, they would have done it. The quality is outstanding.
How did you avoid import fees if it came from China? Did you pay the seller import/custom fees up front?
Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome Guitar. Was Randy's Les Paul a White Custom 'Faded' to Yellow, or was "Cream/Yellow" to begin with? All the Best. Cheers
I see debate on this. I believe it was a cream colored . However, many say it was alpine white. I don't know what source to trust. But my thought is, the nitro yellowed so deeply on his original that it was extremely deep yellow. This would make sense on a cream guitar. However, I could be totally wrong. Sorry I couldn't help more.
I'm going to order a frankie from the same store as you did,anything else i need to know ?
Oh, this seller. Yes. I'm sure it will be excellent. Just make sure to communicate good with them.
It seems to yellow to me. If you got alpine white with a nitro fininsh it would aged to the colour you want eventually. Maybe 20 years from now😊
Here's why i got this color. th-cam.com/video/JN4VITDiy6w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5RW7A1mztjpsQiSu
Great deal on a well made guitar. How long did it take to get to you? The seller is definitely worth checking out. I'd like to hear your opinion on an IYV.
Less than a month to my door, including build time. I love IYV guitars. However I tried to request a custom build, but unfortunately, they couldn't do what I wanted.
I actually just messaged this same seller on Ali , and they said they could do what I want. Perhaps I will give it a shot.
I went to the link provided but how do you request a customization?
I can't find it anywhere on the website .
You have to hit the contact seller button. I don't think you can until you set up your Aliexpress information.
@@FultonStreetBeats Thank you buddy!
I appreciate the info
Anytime brother@@EricMartinSmithOfficial
Because of your channel I just bought a Vinnie vincent v and a striper v and a Jackson v from alliexpress I'll let you know the quality of each one
Ohh the Vinnie Vincent guitar is very cool. Yes please let me know🙏
I would consider a Chibson if it had top notch bones and came as an r54 burst routed for p-90's.
I don't have the stones to scrape the paint off of my $3k gold top that might not even have flame underneath and even as a working guitarist I just can't justify the $6k for a custom shop ordered r54.
Where did you get the brass poker chip can you send a link please

Mike, yet another killer guitar and what makes it even more special is that it’s a Randy Rhoads Les Paul! On the lighter side Mike, when removing the control cavity covers you should get yourself a suction pig. If you watch Dave’s World of Fun Stuff you’ll get the joke. If not sorry about that.
Lmao 🤣. I know exactly what your talking about🤣🤣
@@FultonStreetBeats , I’m glad you got that one.
@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 I hope all is well over in the Japan brother! Rock N Roll!
@@FultonStreetBeats , thanks Mike, I'm ok.
How Abou the sound?
Nice! I got 1983 Gibson les paul custom pearl white after Randy Rhoades death! I still have it!😊
I can see that on your channel pic. Beautiful!!!!
@@FultonStreetBeats yes thats it! It's yellowed and checked over the years! Still absolutely beautiful! 🤘Thanks
RR's guitar was alpine white
@stevea2488 Yes, I know! And mines pearl white and prettier! 🙂
Link isn’t working. Do you have any other way to get in touch with this seller?
I believe it works now.
Is a nitro finish considered gloss or matte? I reached out to this seller would like to understand the difference. Thanks!
A nitro finish should be a gloss nitrocellulose finish., Unless the finish has been distressed.
Looks way more yellow than aged cream.. or is that the camera and lighting?
Its a aged cream. Yellowed. Looks much more yellow under fluorescents
the link isn't available anymore, is there a updated link
I believe it works now
I'm new to your channel so excuse my ignorance. My questions are who did you order this guitar from and what is involved in requesting a custom order? That RR model is hot!
A white ES model no f- holes would be cool!
I believe the store link is in the description. You just message them and tell them what you would like, and they'll tell you if they can do it or not. Hope this helps. Keep in mind I am not affiliated with them at all. Links are left for transparency purposes.
I have scoured their site and have failed to find any way to message them. What am I missing?
How do you contact aliexpress? Thanks like your videos
Did I miss it, or is there just no 'Twentieth Anniversary' at the 12th fret?
i bought chibson 5 years ago it was a lemon i wont risk buying one again thats just me
Im still waiting for them to post my les paul ace frehley been 2 weeks now
But i ask about a case they seed wonted $240 for one not sure what that is is £ but i seed no
So you got a fantastic deal on yours and the guitar looks amazing
Will let you no when mine turns up
Eddie🏴🎸
Please do. I love to hear about them all. The good and the bad. It keep them in check.
That looks badass. I thought Randy's was more vintage white in color or did his fade over time? Makes me want to get another LP even though I'm not an LP guy. 😂
His got extremely yellowed from nitro aging. It spent a lot of time in the sun. Also when he first received it, it was already yellowing. What's funny is I bet this lightens with age. Lol. How about those X Jumbo frets? What a dream to play. I'm actually going to put some money into this one. A good set of Schaller vintage tuners. And other fixin's. Lol. It's even nicer in person than the video shows. I'm probably going back to this seller again.
@FultonStreetBeats I've got another Steve Clark LP I'm itching to get.
@@thebaldshredder I am always searching for that one that fits the best for me. This is it. Are you having it done custom? I don't know ow why I waited so long for a custom build. Best thing I ever did.
@@FultonStreetBeats If I do it, it will have to be custom. It's a 3 pickup black/white LP. Steve uses it in the video for Animal.
@@thebaldshredder YES!!!
Love your videos. At least Gibson gets free advertising😂. I can't find that seller number. Is there a NAME for the seller? Keep'em coming!
The seller link is in the description, I believe. Thanks for watching 🙂
Found the seller but they say they don't use lacquer but polyester.
Really want that tobacco burst Standard now. I don't mind waiting as long as they did it to my specs. I can see why Fender/Gibson are losing their shit over these instruments 🤣
Oohhhh my, same seller. I see we think alike 😅. I asked about a heavy relic version.
They were amazing for me. I will definitely order again. They actually were very accommodating.
@@FultonStreetBeats Yes they are very legit. Fast responses, high quality. They will go far if they keep it up. BTW I just got my EVH Frankenstein/strat. I left an update comment on your videos. Haven’t played it yet but it’s amazing. Will definitely get some RR guitars next.
@hnationmusic3099 love it! There is nothing better than a smile on the face and not going broke 🙂
Man, all of yours are awesome... I ended up getting one of the turds that are 900 pieces of wood glued together, sloppy routes, etc... mine is like a movie prop, all cosmetic but everything under the curtain is pure shit. It plays well, and I've upgraded some parts on it to make it better. But mine is a turd compared to all of the ones you've received. I paid $190 so be aware people... and mine also had the stupid red "custom" logo on the pickguard that you have to sand off, so avoid those.
I have found the 300 dollar range seems to have the best quality. Looks like the cheaper ones are leftovers from previous years.
@@FultonStreetBeats 100% agree
Hi I would love to know where you got it done…. Would love to own a Randy replica… just like the one you ordered ❤ 🙏🏼
I got it from Aliexpress. Here's the seller for transparency. I have no affiliation. They build custom guitars to your specs. In my experience, a very good job.
Shop1102961011 Store
a.aliexpress.com/_mq2wfw0
nice!! can you still find the seller in aliexpress?
Yes, you can. I just ordered it. Now, I'm waiting for it to arrive
Can you send me a URL ?😅
Just gotta get rid of the dot over the “i” on the Gibson and you’re good..that’s how Randy’s was…73-74 LPC logo has not dot over the “i”. But that guitar does look great.
Thank you. 🙂
price aside... does the overall playing experience/ feel of the guitar come close at all to a real gibson?
Weird question but, what does nitro smell like??
Smells very sweet 🤤
Like a bomb
Its very strong. It actually smells good IMO. I spray it all of the time on my builds. The problem is that it takes a long time for it to gas off. Now poly can smell horrible when boxed up fresh, ship it and then someone opens it.
How much?
I'm color blind as hell so is it really "yellow" yellow or cream yellow in person?
It's an aged cream that's yellowed. Much more yellow in the video (under florescents)
@@FultonStreetBeats oh ok cool. I've been wanting to get one but wasn't sure if it was like the old TV yellow color
Is that too yellow? I thought Randy's was more cream color.
Please note my community post on the color subject. Thank you.
I can’t afford a Gibson unless I saved up for a year. Then I’d be terrified I would drop it..
very legitimate concern. Its a huge investment to worry about . I agree. I still buy them but I'm always worried too.
Well how much did you pay is the question
358.00.
I'm trying to order but I'm having issues
Well looks like I'm going to custom order a les paul custom 😂
I went to that shop's link on AliExpress and all I saw where penis enhancers and vacuum pumps 😮
Oh boy. Lol. 🤣
I thought all customs have mother of pearl inlays 🤔
Gibson Customs do. The Standards don't. What I meant was even Gibson uses acrylic on standard models. So there is nothing wrong with acrylic on a chinese 300.00 dollar guitar.
Would you possibly sell me this? I love randy rhoads so much
Sorry. Not for sale.
I have four Chibsons and I don't know if I have been exceptionally lucky but they have all been excellent. Certainly at the level of my higher end epiphones. Yes the pickups are usually poor but the finish and the bones have been superb. Almost every youtube video I have watched suggests they are awful in every way. Not my experience at all
I totally agree. And now, many are coming with much better components than in the past.
Nice guitar! But wrong color, Randy's was lighter creamy yellow.
Please note my community post on the subject. Thank you.
Randy didn't play a yellow guitar?
You better take a look at my community post.
Wow, you're right! I've seen them yellow to an "off-white", but never that yellow...that's amazing.
@stevecooper3487 I almost made the mistake of getting a cream colored one until I actually did some research. There is a subscribers that actually has an old 74 and it's very yellow also. He remembers it when it was white. UV and stage lights kills nitro. I can just imagine all of the shows inside and out under lights that Randy did. I personally love the effect. I hope mine ages well who knows what a matched finish will do in the future. Scary to think. Thanks for watching brother 🙏
Got a fake jackson concorde, pretty cool and fun to play, Rhoads roswell cool also.
Colour is wayyyy off. But for the money...
Please see my community post on the color subject. Thank you.
It looks exactly like ya paid for it
Looks nothing like RR’s les Paul, the colour isn’t right
th-cam.com/video/JN4VITDiy6w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PgRyABjOK9NBZQAB You may want to watch that. You might be surprised.
LoL
Did he ever plug it in?
