Could you possibly play Y.M.C.A. so we can hear the tone .

These guitars were obviously custom ordered in bulk from a seller on AliExpress. 2000 of them would've only been $150 each.

Would have liked to see the neck removed. Possible indication of where it was made in the neck joint

[gbhobbyist]

The American flag T-shirt with the AR15 silhouette tells me everything I need to know about this “unbiased” review. LOL

[Steven-retx]

Ignorance is not knowing the facts.
Stupidity is ignoring the facts.

[AnimalJohn]

A proper scam right there.

Cheap construction with absolutely horrible electronics and equally bad hardware.

There's absolutely no justifying ripping people off to this degree.

Nice one for tearing it apart though sir, shame the neck never came off though.

This object is not advertised as a "wall hanging", it is sold as a guitar and at $1500. This is not the price of a low to mid-range guitar; if you shop around you could get a Gibson Les Paul Tribute for not much different. What this is is a cheap as cheap Chinese guitar (circa $200) sold for a high price with every attempt made to conceal its country of origin, ie no markings anywhere!. It is a grift, just like the gold sneakers, gold watches, Chinese bibles, NFT cards, Cologne! etc, etc. If you want to make a very rich men even richer, then by all means buy these products; if not, then buy yourself a real guitar. Its also interesting that you didn't mention the bolt on neck or make any attempt to remove it to see if that indicated country of origin.

A grift guitar from a conman. Of course, there are no quality parts, and it looks tacky. They will be on eBay in a couple of years for $200.

[Jim-rosl]

A bolt on neck les paul for 1500. What a piece CRAP!!!

[argetech]

Ted Nugent and Kid Rock will be customers for sure!

[Goodtimesallthetime]

Not a fan at all but it's not my money. I am curious to know how much/how fast that clear coat is going to yellow. Wonder when you will start seeing them on the resale market? I imagine that they are not going to go up in value at least in the long run.

[themobseat]

If you leave the plastic film sheets on the guitar, after a few years it gums up and comes off in gooey postage stamp sized pieces.

[trevor]

You mean to tell me the MAGA 45' Trumpbuckers are just generic unbranded pickups?
I'm shocked, I tell ya.

[Angus]

I have to say you are correct this is for a person who buys memorabilia and such just like the coins and bills. We all know these sort of things are made on a budget. It’s a well made in China budget guitar. Only a Trumper would spend the money. Personally I would never pay that much for a $300 guitar. It’s tacky and classless just like the person it’s made to honor. But your review is pretty much accurate and honest and people shouldn’t crap on you for it.

[pohsibkcirrag]

Pretty clear the tuners were made by Elon. I think one of his kid’s name is L4.

[ToneJunkieTV]

Nice review dude!! Yeah I think those stars are on every one of them. It’s exactly the same on mine.

[basiltiffani]

Amazing to see Trump fans act like he's not selling them absolute crap at a premium. That guitar costs 1500 dollars and this guy is acting like it's not a guitar you'd get off Amazon for $60.

[michaelsine]

I bought the guitar because I wanted one as a collector piece. I did not buy it to play. I have Schecter, Carvin, Ibanez, and others I play. Thanks for the video and taking the guitar apart to measure the output of the pickups.

[stevencharlton]

This video has certainly shown me what I was expecting from these Trumpy guitars. For the price these are being sold for, I would expect some branded parts on them. Many of Harley Benton's budget guitars are fitted with hardware from well known named brands, and are better priced than that thing!!!

Personally, if I were to spend £1500 on a new guitar, I would rather hand my dosh over to someone like D'Angelico or Harley Benton, and get something that is well worth the money spent on it!!!

I do appreciate the honesty in this review. Good and bad points where they apply. I've paid this amount for Ephiphone collector's editions, so I'm guilty and I get it if this sorta thing rings your bell. I don't think they'll have any resale value, but it's an okay amount to spend for your own amusement.
