    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.

    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

        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.

    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.

        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!
