    Gibson has sued everyone who came close to their body style. They did win back in the day over the “open book” headstock (the mustache looking top). They’re super litigious. I don’t see them winning this for a variety of reasons, number one being that I don’t think there are really guitars.

    I love how Mr. America First keeps endorsing inferior shit made overseas. This is one hundred percent one of the hundreds of LP knockoffs that you can get for a couple of hundred bucks apiece if you buy in bulk on Alibaba with garbage pickups, sharp frets, and terrible glue joints. Probably an extra hundred bucks for the inlay and “paint job”.

    Except I bet they paid for a couple of them and that’s all they actually had made. One to show, one to put up on their wall, and the rest are “sold” and never fulfilled with a kickback to the grifter in chief. If someone actually pays the $11,000 or whatever for one with Trump’s signature they’ll order a few with the signature already stamped over the clear coat (not actually signed! shocker!) for the same couple of hundred bucks, kick back 30% to trump, and keep $6000 per idiot who wants to put that on their wall.

    Edit: What in the chicken fried fuck is a “Trumpbucker” pickup?
