I'm surprised the signed guitar isn't $14,880.

I would give a lot to have a video of Trump plugging in a guitar and fiddling with a 3 channel amp

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If Trump had the moxie to keep trying and practicing - I'd love to see him try to play the ukulele.

This is dropshipped isn't it?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'd say the chance of that is ~100%.

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.

lot of words to say Made in China

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Manufacturerd by multiple providers"

Aka the parts we bought are so cheap they don't even have any kind of proof of where they came from.

Lots of weird three syllable companies with no website and borderline unintelligible language in any of their literature.

The only domestic part is Trump's signature lmao

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine if they slapped it on abroad so even his signature was a lie.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I mean, honestly, I'd be surprised if they were even in the same state as him prior to shipping, let alone actually signed by him

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Drop shipping president is just so perfect for the current era, it's clear to me now trump was always going to win since he's the perfect embodiment of modern america

[–] sawne128@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm wasting my life. I could be selling Trump branded can openers or whatever.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"TRU MP" in hopes that Trump won't sue you after you claim it was first designed for the UK and "TRU(E) MPs".

[–] sawne128@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You better hope I don't sue you for stealing my idea.

NGL my last ditch effort in survival is just becoming a right-wing grifter.

I could dropship toothpaste and just slap the GOP logo on it and easily make money

Trump looking practically charcoal in that pic. He must be telling the spray tan people just fuck my shit up mon capitan.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’d like to shave his eyebrowns if for no other reason than to highlight the tone difference between the spray on and the actual skin.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And I'm thinking of a reverse clown nose where his nose is also his normal skin color.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

His hand looks downright necrotic in comparison.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Can you imagine the faces of the guys who spent millions on this guy and didn't even get a guitar

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

There's Trump everything

Pawn shop near me has at least one gun with a 'Trump' finish on it

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

one gun with a 'Trump' finish

Guaranteed to rust?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Guaranteed to be marked up about 75% over the price of the same piece without the finish (not joking), and it was not that nice of a finish

Seems fitting

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Only 75%? What a steal!

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We had a Trump Store that got converted into a medical weed shop. Before the conversion, someone had tagged it with a hammer and sickle. lmao

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

made in china no doubt

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's 25% off, plus two times 45 (Trump). insert BlueAnon post here

[–] HeyGreg@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

That’s a lotta money for a bolt-on neck Les Paul copy. Even most of the Epiphones over like $400 have set necks.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Trump Guitars - $10,000 - No Strings Attached

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What song would you play on the Trump guitar?

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

"Nelly the Elephant" by the Toy Dolls, duh

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

So cheap Gibson Les Paul knockoffs, got it

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Least reactionary telecaster.

I don't know why I have that association but telecaster shaped guitars just look fashy to me, even before you deck them out with fascist symbols like that one.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The electrics are Les Paul style guitars. Here's a Telecaster...

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Damn, you mean I've been thinking the wrong name whenever I see a les paul? Looking at it, I don't really like the telecaster shape either, but it's not nearly as bad. I really can't stand electrics that have the acoustic-style headstocks where the tuners are on both sides - I don't know why but it just looks wrong.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Teles are weird looking proto-Strats

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Damn, you mean I've been thinking the wrong name whenever I see a les paul?

You made the ghost of Les Paul cry. This photo is Les Paul with a Les Paul. I assume it's from the late 1950s.

Looking at it, I don't really like the telecaster shape either, but it's not nearly as bad.

What is an electric guitar shape do you like? Explorers? Flying Vs? Or...?

I'm with you. The Les Paul looks like a snowman, and the Telecaster looks like a piece of toast.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really can't stand electrics that have the acoustic-style headstocks where the tuners are on both sides

They're actually problematic as all hell! Depending on the size of the headstock, the middle two strings will enter the nut slots at too sharp of an angle and will tend to get stuck in there when you do bends, so your tuning stability will be all over the place without some mods. The only "fixes" are a String Butler (aftermarket piece of plastic with a brass rollers on it to reposition the middle four strings in line with the nut slots) or a special type of nut that has either graphite or Teflon or whatever in it to reduce friction where the strings enter the slots. If you have both, you're golden. Or if you have a tremolo system with a locking nut, then it doesn't really matter since there's no movement on the bit of the string between the nut and the tuning machines.
