trump does say in private that he makes the best solos, he knows all the chords even ones the experts don't tell you about. trump taught einstein the mouth organ.

Selling cheap, poor-quality, foreign made guitars with all kinds of "Make America Great Again" iconography at extortionate prices. It really is the man in a nutshell.
Bros your opinions on the man getting conflated with his businesses and policies really makes it hard for any u opinionated person to consider attributing any merit to your comments. I see lately what people mean when they say someone has TDS....
@@MattthegreatOneofOne What are you talking about? I wasn't commenting on his policies at all, I was purely addressing his rotten person and business practices. Which one of us has TDS?
Yea getting one of these for a guy who knows his way around a good guitar is youtube gold...as millions of others do not have to speculate on quality...which is surely shit.
Someday paid $6 million for a single banana and a piece of duct tape the other day. Plenty of money out there . More Jinese junk bought by people bemoaning the loss of jobs to Jina. Pathetic.
I would take one just to review it on TH-cam. I used to build my own guitars and still use them with my band. I'm not a master luthier but I could easily tell if they were any good or a piece of crap.
I hadn’t noticed the knobs are offset, and the upper bout and horn is not shaped like a gibson… the headstock approaches the open book shape but is obviously different. Whoever is making the guitars was probably aware of what would make them lose a lawsuit. Doesn’t mean gibson won’t try. I think they even tried to get dean to stop making cadillacs. But I have a dean cadillac, and they have the knobs offset. It’s the only guitar I’ve ever seen that on tbh. This guitar, I just noticed, they did the same thing. 😂 Edit: Oh gibson tried to get them to stop making the Z and V shape guitars, not the cadillac as far as I can tell. But gibson is VERY litigious. They don’t care if it’s a Donald Trump guitar or a Kamala Harris guitar, if it’s infringement to them.
@@bobtucker1049 Not the body outline specifically, but in some cases yes. The upper bout, the horn... And of course the configuration of the staggered volume/tone knobs is the stuff paul lookalikes alter. Trapezoid inlays. Can't do it I think. Open book headstock. Even epiphones don't get it. Google 'lawsuit guitars'. Most companies do 3 knobs instead of 4 lol. Actually it seems you can do the 4 knobs, but I think maybe esp can't. And most guitars dont offset them either, save some hollowbodies I found...
Well, it would have made sense if the Trump guitars were made in 'MuriKKKa... C'mon, Make 'Murica Great Again with the Trump Bible printed in comie China and the Trump guitar made in Indonesia or China... Well, maybe I should write a song named Grifter, with some inspiration from Judas Priest's "Sinner"???
So I have a bachelors degree in music for the euphonium. I am self-taught guitar because I was forced to take piano classes in college and I’m smart enough to have transferable knowledge I can’t stand Trump. I would honestly serving him an extra large knuckle sandwich with extra beef on site, but I would love to have this guitar just because it would make me money and I realize that about him as much of a walking Turd as the man is the Ideocratic cult around him Is almost an unstoppable army. There will be a market for these guitars, also im a speculative golden silver bug. I’ve been paying close attention to the markets ever since I graduated college in 19 and Cove it happened during 20 I paid attention to how money was immediately thrown at problems, and how this will be far more valuable than a dollar in the future.
Political aside... I agree with Tony on quality / nostalgia.. That said.. Hate him, like him, love him.. whatever... Whatever Trump dips his toes into... Completely throws into chaos ( bad and good) into that space, the forums and discussions... How many people are talking guitars now, taking legal action... Media coverage ( that isn't counterfeit Gibbys) chat forums, internet searches... ? THIS video!. It could also be the biggest ( and perhaps needed) troll of the industry! LOL
i could imagine them being collectors items in years to come BECAUSE trump is a(or hopefully was - past tense) a tyrant. it's one obit i'm really looking forward to.
I'd almost swear those are Temu guitars. I worked at a 2nd hand store for 15 years and was their guitar guy and I had to turn away so many Esteban guitars because they were literally falling apart. If these guitars are that quality, then there won't be much of them left to gather dust in the closet. I couldn't buy one on several levels of conscientiousness.
These were definitely commissioned at least a year ago. They definitely have to be a limited run given the stance on tariffs. OTOH I'm guessing these were probably made in Indonesia though so they're likely not going to spike in price like MIM Martin/Taylor/Fenders, MICA Art & Lutherie or any Chinese made brand.
Esteban is a legit classical guitarist... he even had some one-on-one time with Segovia... but I don't think Estaban's Zorro Schtick sat well with the Maestro. Incidentally Esteban's real name is Stephen Paul from Pittsburgh, PA.
Carvin guitar is not in business now, they were great guitars you could order from the factory & have it sent to your address. You can get used ones but they are expensive
I saw a small parlor size guitar in a pawn shop, that had the name Trump on it that looked very old. Like one of those old kids guitars made in Chicago back in the 40s or 50s. I took a picture of it.
Esteban guitars!! Thankfully my parents were too poor to buy one for me. I was completely sold on this guitar. Brings back so many great (questionable) memories.
Highly collectable! The value of the lower priced guitars will quadruple when the supply is gone. I expect to start seeing them on Reverb for 57 LP prices soon.
For the money and parts, plus reportedly designed by a Master Luthier- I doubt it will be some horrible unplayable joke. I ordered one of the acoustic guitars. I’m hoping it will be a decent enough p guitar. The picture sure is pretty.
If you want one, get one. If you don’t, move on. No one who knows guitars even slightly would “ invest” in these or any other gimmick piece of anything. Guitars or space rocks!
I finally saved enough for a Gibson but decided to buy a Trump guitar. It's basically the same thing, but I know I support American manufacturing, veterans, and our next President. It has great looks and value, too.
I just popped in to say Esteban and Urban guitars are as good as some name brands lower line guitars. People that just parrot that they are junk have never actually had one in their hands or they are sniffing too much cork.
These are not necessarily musical instruments, clearly these are intended to be collectibles or display items…The only real controversy here is that Trump is involved…which will also determine its future value.
Here’s the thing everybody’s missing: Donald Trump is a cultural phenomenon. Period. Full stop. Like him or loath him, that’s not what is being sold with these guitars. This is a chance to grab a piece of history. Everything Trump has been forced to endure at the hands of truly despicable people is embodied in these guitars. No, one does not buy a guitar like this to actually play it, so quality should never be considered. If you decide that it’s your thing, you’ll take the time to modify the instrument, and make necessary adjustments. Right? You’d do that with any guitar you buy anyway. So, why should we treat these any different? Oh, right! “Orange Man BAD.” 🤦♂️ You know what? Get over it! If the guy was half as bad as they needed you to believe him to be, you wouldn’t be free to talk smack about him. Now would you? Besides, if these guitars were offered at the same price point, but bore the name 0bama, all y’all would go nuts figuring out a way to justifiably buy one. Right? I’m sure Gibson would’ve joyfully given their blessing, too. All that to say, 2024 was the “year of Trump.” Not because he’s the GOAT, but because your side wouldn’t stop talking about him. My god, people! We have the first female veep in history, and that garnered less attention than the baby giraffe born at the Dallas Zoo! All everybody’s been bangin’ on about for the better part of a decade is … Trump. So, after getting shot, and facing down a Banana Republic-esque Lawfare, it only seems fitting that somebody wanted to stamp this moment in history, and make a fistful of cash. Why not? This is still America. Right? So what? You hate Trump. Good for you. You’re part of the Establishment. These guitars are destined to be a Collector’s wet dream 50 years from now, and that’s what it all boils down to. Or not. Nobody knows. Look 👀 if you’d told me in 1978 I’d sell my collection of Star Wars Action Figures for a whopping $1,000 in 1993, I would’ve laughed in your face, and still flushed Han Solo down the toilet! All I’m saying is we have no idea how the future will value such a novelty, but we can be certain that an item of such significance as this will most assuredly be highly sought after. So, let’s have a conversation about that.
I thought Gibson lost their suit with Dean guitars over guitar shapes, but I suspect that was more a ploy to make sure people aren't associating them with being a Trump supporter. As far as the name Trump has branded his name for decades. Back in the day when he was a populat tv personality, there was a lot of atuff he licensed his name with. Famously Trump steak and Trump whiskey, he has never drank by the way due to losing his brother to substance abuse. It will be interesting to see how much more items come out since he won the popular vote and the winds are changing. I don't guitar players are gonna buy these in mass, but Trump fans, of course, there are 10s of millions if not more worldwide.
Why all of the speculations? Of course they are going to be collectable. You might be AMAZED at who the PROFESSIONAL LUTHIER'S are... We all know that Gibson is NOTHING like it used to be...Now more a NAME without the SUBSTANCE and QUALITY...There is a MYRIAD OF PROFESSIONAL LUTHIER'S making guitars that look similar and of HIGHER QUALITY AND SPEC'S THAN GIBSON...Gibson is fighting a loosing battle...It would be far better if they put their energies into MAKING THE HIGHEST QUALITY AFFORDABLE GUITARS AGAIN!!! HOWEVER STILL REMAINS TO BE SEEN AND HEARD😁
Gibson should produce a MAGA guitar. It will be competitive once the 60% tariff on Chinese goods goes on. They can have a "Only Gibson is GREAT Enough!" inlay.
Voters, be ashamed of the creature you elected president- he has no interest in music or guitars- is this guitar to be played, or just hung over the fireplace? What happened to running the country? he's all caught up, and can now turn to selling merchandise? Some guitars sell for a lot of money- that is the one interest that Trump has in guitars- This fellow is a shallow, shameless used car salesman, not a president.
If it's made by Kraco, it's still an investment. Ugly, tacky and likely cheap, however is it worth something as a collectible? You bet your First Act it is.
Maybe this will lead to a real conversation about Chinese/Indonesian/Mexican guitars and why we should avoid them. It’s funny how I often find myself to the right of Trump….
@swampscott2670 I'm amazed at how seldom the ethics of buying Chinese guitars is mentioned. I dint know enough to see it as black and white, but I know enough to know it should be talked about a LOT more than it is. PS - are you in Swampscott?

@@B1B904no, the 45 vs 47 discussion that Matt brings up at the end

Great episode! I’m guessing that the real value of the acoustic is around $150.
with tariffs that comes to $175.99 sir.
Grifter’s gonna grift.
The best part is buying one of those guitars for 10k then going to the flea market to see one wrapped in plastic for 49 bucks with autograph/stamped.

Make Guitars American Again
They won’t be. No one will care in 15 years.
If it's made by Kraco, it's still an investment. Ugly, tacky and likely cheap, however is it worth something as a collectible?
You bet your First Act it is.
Ugly, tacky and likely cheap like it's namesake.
@@booswalia Right.
Have you heard about the Kamala branded flute?
Keep watching.
President Trump is living rent free in your heads...... these guitars are not for everyone.... just those of us for whom money is not an issue.
Love the dude, dislike his style, ugly looking guitars.
Maybe this will lead to a real conversation about Chinese/Indonesian/Mexican guitars and why we should avoid them. It’s funny how I often find myself to the right of Trump….
@swampscott2670 I'm amazed at how seldom the ethics of buying Chinese guitars is mentioned. I dint know enough to see it as black and white, but I know enough to know it should be talked about a LOT more than it is.
PS - are you in Swampscott?
why limit the discussion to guitars, what about other products?
@@ZionFormanfair question. We could talk about the Trump watches also. Or basically any piece of junk we buy off Amazon.
