- Hey guys, I'm back with yet another custom order from AliExpress. This time it's a tribute to one of my all time favorites, Steve "Steamin'" Clark from Def Leppard. He used a similar 3 pickup LP during the Hysteria days. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

THE MOST AWESOME JAM YET!!!! Steve would raise a pint to that one, mate!
I believe he would indeed.
I am always happy to see anyone wearing a Def Leppard shirt and talking about the greatness of Steve Clark. I adore him and his unique style of playing.
I knew this video would happen :P
And this was one of your coolest jams and happier videos.
Always go for guitar.
Link to the aliexpress seller?
Great guitar Richard. I am glad they got it right so you could admire Steve Clark's instrument! Keep on rocking!
I need that guitar always wanted one since I seen Steve in 88.
Hey man.
Just wanted to say I have multiple sc replicas I built and I loved this video.
I subbed and I can’t wait to see more content.
Keep doing what you’re doing dude.
Who is the seller???
Looking to get a Brian Robertson done..
Similar to Clark but only two pups..
Might want a Clark also..
Please say who seller is..
Okay so first off. Damn that jam was bad ass. Second that guitar is amazing. Looks and sounds amazing. I want it. You know my address lol. 😂 I'll be waiting. Seriously though, brother killer Jam!
Thanks brother!
Really nice guitar. Playing awesome Like always! "Tribute guitar" i like that
Awesome! Which custom shop? There are several. Definitely want one.
Your jam was amazing. It literally felt like an 80s tune!
🤘
Wow the sound of this lip is absolutely amazing,can you reveal the seller I want one
Wow the sound of this lip is absolutely amazing,can you reveal the seller I want one
Damn Richard u nailed it, u created a better Def Leppard song than what the band has done in the last 10 years!!!
Firefly, FFLGS 3-pickup Alnico V, polished stainless steel ball-end frets, bone nut, all mahogany, actual Gibson style TOM bridge, super beefy! $189.99 ($216 OTD)!!!!
No hassle, had it in 3 days (ordered Sunday, arrived Wed.), near perfect and easy to return if I wanted to, but I don't.
Steve Clark was so valuable to Def Leppard you wouldn't have seen them get in the R and R hall of fame without him
It's sad that the general population of music lovers who talk about "Rock gods" leave him off. It's one of those "if you know, you know" with Steve. Those of us who understand history and music know.
I've been wanting a black LP with a white pickguard. Wanted one ever since I saw Neal Schon play one in the 80s. But his has a Floyd Rose and a sustainer. Which I would love.
I guess getting it past Customs wasn't a problem.
YT has been screwing up on me as well. If I hovered my cursor over one of the videos shown on the page, it would auto start playing the video as if I clicked on it. I'm not talking about when the video plays and you can select to mute sound or subtitles. It would open the page and play the video.
Can you please share the link for this guitar order?
Please can you share what store did you order it from?
Im new to playing guitar and domt have enough budget to afford low end branded ones that are great. Thats why Im looking onto Chibsons. Thank you!! ❤
Wow, great looking guitar! I’ve hoped you would do some more videos on Chibbys. Great work, great video, love your channel! 🤘👍🎸
Beautiful guitar and fantastic playing, dude!!
Dude you killed it , total Leppard ish lick , Awsome
Nice looking guitar sounds awesome buddy 👍
Beautiful guitar and even better playing!
Good job on the song Mr. Shredder!!! Very hysteria almost pyromania..
Steve Clark on Def Leppards early stuff kicked ass..Like "Wasted" and No No No off High And Dry were some of my faves from my early high school days.
I had the same issue with one seller / factory on AliExpress that built my yellow quilted top last paul. They created the shipping number but never shipped it for months. Kept asking for more and more time and it was 6 months from the time I ordered until the time I actually got it
Yeah it happens.
Can you please share the Info for the SHOP that built this beautiful Les Paul for you - - I am looking for a custom shop that could build an LP style guitar according to my specs .... PLEASE - thank you ü
Awesome Richard! Looks and sounds great! 😎🎸🤘
This is fire dude! Love the tone choice here. Sounds super 80s!
Thanks dude
Sweet LP custom!
awesome jam too!
🎸💥🎸💥🎸💥🎸💥🎸💥🎸
Oh Richard ~ You did SMC Proud! I just wanna play that jam on repeat like forever man! That guitar is beyond beautiful and a very fitting tribute. I too have so many great memories from the Pyromania and Hysteria concerts. Little did we know it'd be the last time we'd see Steve.
🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶
What a wonderful song you wrote for this. I do worry about other Chibsons that do have "made in usa" on them that could get sold as real Gibsons. Unfortunately, this does happen.
Hey Richard, a little acetone/nail polish remover on a q tip will dissolve the LP custom logo right off your truss rod cover in seconds and there you go, instant black!
I saw Def Leopard and KISS in 2015 with couple original members 40th anniversary tour for their farewell to the farewell to the farewell tour 😂 I saw them twice in 82’ and 84’
Great track! If Def Leppard ever needs a new guitar player I'll direct them here.
Thank you. Waiting for the call!
Love your guitar! AMAZON has a tremolo whammy bar gadget that is black, slides right on the tailpiece posts, no "body work" needed...might be a cool idea. It's called Guyker Tune-O-Matic Style Electric Guitar Bridge Stop Bar Tailpiece Tremolo. Screw the Chibson haters, as long as you don't try to sell it as a Gibson, who cares. Bigger problems in life than that.
I got a Jem tribute and it is fantastic, I was expecting to have to do a lot of work on it but it only needed a little work on intonation. Great video.
Sick playin dude, you smoked that Chibson...
Hey, TBS: Friggin NICE Intro Jam. Very outside your usual writing style lately. That is a HARD thing to do, cuz. Man! You ARE just a bad mofo! Thank you so much for making such an effort. Rick Beato recently said the long term winners are the ones who don’t stop trying to get better. I get that your drive may be motivated by more than one thing. Because your work also reflects a drive to make your TH-cam channel a great experience for your viewers. So thanks, bwana. You genuinely DO - ROCK!!
I had a very similar experience with the guitar I ordered off eBay from a Chinese manufacturer.
But after all the delays it did finally arrive exactly as I wanted it 😄
That's a beautiful guitar great playing btw
Wow this guitat sounds great. What changes did you make. 😊
I think you always need just 1 more guitar!! It's a rule, I believe? I'm at 43 guitars! That's enough! OK, I might need just 1 more?
Always 1 more
Awesome jam BS
Nice Axe There brother...Sounds pretty good..
Add the lock in nut at the top and Tremelo with sticky fingers, long tan guitar strap, and Steve Clark on the 12th fret
Mike is a Good salesman. Nice Buy. Rock on RJ
Your playing was amazing 👏
Guitar looks great!
IL❤ve Chibson!!
Great jam .. you rock!
Under 300 is cool, almost no setup, super cool.
No link to the specific guy? (or is that not allowed?)
That sounds great
Excellent playing, excellent price!
Still subscribed BS. Nice jam. Love the melody
The song sounds like a mix up of Too Late for Love and Women ........ Sounds great 🤘🤘🤘🤘
That's exactly what I tried to do. Thanks for noticing!
Awesome jam
Very cool! Did you specify what kind of pickups you wanted? (Vintage? Hot? Magnet types?)
I didn't. Probably medium output ceramic.
this one is very nice ! 💙
That jam was awesome, Sebastien Bach to lay down some vocals and we got a hit!!
Peer pressure. Gotta love it! 😁
Mike made me do it!
Can you share a link to the Vendor that made the guitar for you? I'm thinking about a Custom oreder for myself. Thanks
I bet I could shred up a storm on that!
Just wash the burrito grease off your hands first... on 2nd thought... wear gloves! 😂
Less than $300. I'm just awestruck .
I’m really curious if it’s really worth purchasing a guitar from AliExpress
Sick chops
Super sweet axe !
It looks and sounds fabulous.
Are there any links to your friends Randy Rhodes LP ?
Who do you use I've been wanting to buy from them but I needed more info. I appreciate your time and keep rocking
Very def leopard Like. I love def leppard. The album's app for steve clark there was something the right.. I wonder how long he's been going now? It's been a while cause i'm getting old I just turned fifty nine. I had a friend that used to tell me all the time the more things change. The more they suck. And I think in some cases, it's true. Is great jam
Black Sabbath, AC DC , & Randy Rhodes Jimmy Hendrix Tony Iommi. etc. for me... Looks good sounds great... The Chinese are as I have said similar to Japanese in the 80s today. The Japanese copied than improvement of designs next Innovation.. look Japanese Guitars, Japanese Cars Lexus etc . Korea Cars now Staring to innovate in cars now some guitars Look at Indonesia coming up to build introduction guitar models. BTW Under $300 Awesome 😎 Deal. There was a Channel on TH-cam Touting a PRODUCTION MODEL NOT CUSTOM From China $2,900 I was like No You are in Kiesiel Custom Guitar Territory & the Kiesiel will hold it's valve.. Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶
I have a Tokai Dark Lord, three EMG pickups and a Floyd, Steve Clark’s had a floating trem on his.
Hey bro, you always have a good sound, what amp do you use or plug in?
Line 6 POD Farm plug in
I only watched Def Leppard when they were touring from the On Through The Night album when Pete Willis was still in the band. Which seller was that? I was reading another guy's complaint about going on 5 months and still waiting for his guitar to arrive.
Nice! Just wondering if the Chibsons are on par with Epiphone, or Firefly, Harley Benton. I am seriously considering buying one (I wonder if mine can have a "Chibson" logo on the headstock) and I value your experienced opinion, Richard. Thanks! Great jam!
no link to buy that beauty? 🤔, i have looked but no joy 😢😢
loving your channel and fantastic shredding 🤘
really fancy buying that guitar tbh, I just tonight ordered a used as new Yam Pacifica 012 for £99..already have a yam cheap acoustic f130 , love it!! so i hope it will be a decent guitar to add to my, at present 14 electric guitar stable , love them all!! 💗
Wow. The “subscribe” deal happened to me. I was subbed, and somehow was UN-subbed… glad you mentioned it…
Back in the day it was common knowledge that mark ups were about 40-50% on guitars and amps. That has not changed. Inflation of the name brand guitars we buy is not going into “material cost increases” really, nor to the workers building them. It is going into continuous marketing and into the pockets of executives. These “cheap guitars” IMO are way better than the “cheap guitars” we used to have access to decades ago.
Steve would have been so great to watch grow older and to see his influence and maturity bake into his music and licks. It's a shame when you are an artist and your own worst judge - and you listen to your own criticism and let it ruin you. Ask me how I know.
RIP Steve Clark and fellow Taurus. 1/8/91
Can you give a link to the seller you used?
I thought I was imagining things, I knew I'd subscribed, but noticed the subscribe button was unselected. I like these videos, I want to see them, I've subscribed again, hopefully it stays that way this time.
Thanks for checking and resubbing!
Steve Clark didn't need a Wammy bar he switched to Firebird during that tour with a Sammy bar in that first song that sounded like Phil Colen playing that solo which is fine he to was a great guitar player but in my humble opinion Steve Clark was the heart and soul of Def Leppard.
Bald Shredder, damn bro your awesome. You can make any Chinese turd sound awesome (no offense to the Chinese builders) but yeah. But great review!
Definitely a cool looking and great sounding guitar! And of course, you shred like your hair's on fire! 😂 Has that big thick rich Les Paul tone. Mahogany body?
Yes
Curious which seller you ordered this from? I have a specific guitar LP I want that isn't made anymore. This one looks and sounds great!
This is why I think Chibsons are here to stay: Modern/Norlin specs, I don't know how far you wesnt with the Clark specs but his original one was a Norlin era LP, and some Norlins have a neck that's as thin as an Ibanez Wizard neck, then there's the maple necks and maple fretboards some Les Paul Customs had, or the all mahogany body pre Norlin LPs had, which are good for weight (specially if you are going to paint the guitar on a solid color).
Gibson doesn't offer any of that and there's a lot of us who are tired of the traditional Les Paul specs, a Les Paul can be so much more (surprised you didn't go for the ESP Eclipse neck heel and a tummy cut but I guess that wasn't Steve's), there's the compound radius... etc.
I have a Harley Benton with two pick ups left handed black upgraded pick ups, but I really hate middle pick ups cause I always hit them with the pick
Bald Leppard songs are awesome.😂
You can instal a Kahler on your guitar still. Find a Kahler USA made drop in bridge. Then hardest part is installing the locking nut
I was unsubscribed, also 😡😡 Glad you said something 🙂
What is the fretboard radius? I don't like the radius on an actual Les Paul.
Does it have 3 volume knobs and 1 tone knob or 2 volume knobs and 2 tone knobs?
SUBSCRIBED ! STILL , all good dude .
Does this gorgeous Les Paul Standard have DiMarzios???
How can I order a guitar like this Steve Clark replica?
Great video have you ever got a Kirk Hammett fake Ouija Guitar in your hands? I always wondered about them I saw a few reviews and they said there was no issues with them... but I still don't trust it... let me know your thoughts thanks
I haven't tried the Ouja guitars.
Great video! I also had to resubscribe, really odd. What is the Seller from AliExpress??
Yhea play that thing dude
Luv it. Show's great.
What's the typical wait time on something like that
For a normal person? Forever and its quality will be horrid. For someone with a TH-cam channel that can give them some Chibson clout, they’ll make you a perfect one and ship it as soon as possible. Problem is this luck is rare and an almost never.
At least a month. If not 3 or 4.
For a custom build plan on about 3 months
