Does anyone know where these “16 Creative” guitars come from? I assume these are imported knockoffs made in a country that Trump’s supporters have been told to hate.

The article sure implies as much.

several categories, with signed editions, limited to 275 pieces, priced at upwards of $10,000.

He'll make a quarter million just like that.

Edit: or a cut from it. Your other comment made me realize Trump just endorsed them.

Prolly bought them in bulk from China, better stockpile before that darned new president puts the tariffs in place.

Ah, Trump the market vendor ...let's see now:

  • Sells corrupted bibles (personalized with name, introduction, and illegal copy of the constitution on a religious item).
  • Sells watches (design copied from other brands, also inscribed with name).
  • Sells "commemorative" coins (stamped with own imagery and name).
  • Sells Hats, T-Shirts and Neckties.
  • Sells Shoes (branded with his own name).
  • Sells Guitars (design copied from another brand).
  • Sells Stolen Top Secret documents.
  • Sells Confidential intelligence information about assets abroad.
  • Sells Access directly to the White House and/or Camp David (to previous enemies of the state).
  • Sells Cabinet positions.
  • Sells The country's position on international defense treaties.
  • Sells His own Crypto hustle.
  • Sells A nationwide position on environmental and climate change.
  • Sells A nationwide position on oil drilling.
  • Sells Luncheons where he promises to be present.
  • Sells Music (a song about/with the convicted January 6 insurrectionists).
  • Sells His own social media platform.
  • Sells Shares on the stock market, named after himself.
  • Sells Pieces of Ukraine, a sovereign country.
  • Sells A degree from a school in his name, unrecognized as valid schooling.
  • Sells Abusively priced real estate.
  • Sells Access to the golf course at his "home".
  • Sells His own criminal mugshot.

Probably am forgetting a few other items.

Oh how the US would have been so much better off if this guy only had a market stall on a country fair....

Sells water, steaks, an airline, a magazine, and fails, but more than any other thing... Trump sells Trump.

Edit: there are so many more https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/all-of-donald-trump-s-businesses-that-failed/ar-BB1ntZby

Put 1000% tariffs on each of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It's all from China, so he's talking about it. LOL. Not that he's ever actually followed through on a promise.

Who is the manufacturer of these guitars?

All of the guitars featured on GetTrumpGuitars.com were custom designed and developed by a Veteran owned company with the help of a master luthier.  These guitars have been manufactured by multiple providers and include parts/features that are both domestic and international.  This is standard with most guitar manufacturers.

These things are probably absolute garbage lol

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

They are cheaply made in china.

Who is the manufacturer of these guitars?

The cheapest manufacturer he could find in China that he's hoping to stiff as soon as possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No, there's obviously a veteran, paid as little as possible, to put the strings on and stuck a "made in the USA" sticker on! It's creating domestic jobs! (/s)

Let’s rip off Gibson and see who has the balls to fight back.

Sorry I’m at the dentist like in the chair and can’t be funnier.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He’s immune, he don’t care

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, it's not his company. He just agreed to endorse it for a cut of the profits.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't even think this is the first time Gibson has done this this year.

I'm not even sure if it is the first time this month.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It sure sounds like they don't fuck around when it comes to their intellectual property.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, on one hand this is the game the law makes you play with trademarks despite it all being rather bullshit. On the other hand the trump guitar is made by shitstains, for shitstains.

Woo bad guy fight!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

As much as I dislike Gibson, out of principle I'm 100% on their side in this argument

[–] ayyy 2 points 2 months ago

This article was clearly not written by a human being.
