Trump Guitars Hit With Cease and Desist From Gibson
Trump Guitars Hit With Cease and Desist From Gibson
A guitar company touting an endorsement from President-elect Donald Trump has been hit by a cease and desist order from Gibson.
WHAT IS THIS FUCKING TIMELINE WE ARE LIVING IN????
HOW DO I FUCKING ESCAPE??????
This is the timeline where capitalism heralds in technocratic fascist dystopia. There was never any alternative.
You can thank conservatism and neoliberalism for spending decades and trillions building a more advanced and pervasive surveillance state than Hitler could have ever dreamed, though... There's nothing more free and democratic than constructing big brother for fascism, then handing them the keys.
Go back. Save Amy Winehose and Harambe.
I'll need a winehose at this rate to cope with this timeline's utter bullshit.
I'd like to believe musicians are smarter than to but Trump's bullshit, being artists and all. Maybe it's just for those grifter 'musicians' trying to virtue signal to their marks? Or, ew, the stupid family of musicians that will get stupid trump branded shit.
So yeah, their American Eagle electric guitar looks very, very, similar to a classic Les Paul
Here is a screenshot of the godforsaken guitar so people don't have to give that site views:
Image transcription:
4 panels
Top right is a regular looking guitar with the ludicrous name "God Bless the USA guitar" for $1000.
The bottom right is a bright red electric guitar for $1,500.
Guitar with ugly eagle in flight spanning 75% of it, a US flag filling the remaining 25%, is in top left panel: $1,250.
Same guitar with hideously ugly Trump signing it in bottom left panel: $10,250.I read that upper right panel as godless the USA.
Why does drump look simple in this picture?
lol, they claim they're "sold out" now.
Only the normal edition, for a mere 10k you can have a custom weather map drawn on it.
Edit correct URL
Oh no, I believe that, plenty of crazies around that just love getting their wallets emptied for cheap stuff blessed by diaper jeebus.
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?
