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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days 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

"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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

His hand looks downright necrotic in comparison.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days 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".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days 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

There's Trump everything

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

one gun with a 'Trump' finish

Guaranteed to rust?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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 2 points 4 days ago

Only 75%? What a steal!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days 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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days 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.

Trump Guitars - $10,000 - No Strings Attached

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What song would you play on the Trump guitar?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

"Nelly the Elephant" by the Toy Dolls, duh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Teles are weird looking proto-Strats

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (5 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...?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Most don't bother me, it's just that particular shape. I don't like the headstock, or how the upper part of the body softly curves in to meet the neck at around a right angle like an acoustic, or the sort of boxier acoustic-like body in general. Like the only guitars that I think look worse are weird novelty builds like the machine gun kelly chunky razorblade or an absurd anime waifu cutout that I saw posted as a particularly cursed guitar shape once. I guess there are some variations on the general strat shape that just look off too, like when they're sort of stretched and warped a little so they get more lopsided and just look blobby.

The BC Rich warlock is comfier to play than it looks comfy-cool

Edit: Sitting down, anyway. Standing up, you might put someone's eye out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

The BC Rich warlock

Everyone's always ragging on those as being particularly ugly guitars, but I think at worst they just look a little silly. All the really pointy guitars are just sort of a "yeah, I get you're going for one particular aesthetic and it's kind of corny, but as long as you get the balance of the shape right and keep some clean lines to it it's fine," to me.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days 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.

That's a les paul not a telecaster

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

So cheap Gibson Les Paul knockoffs, got it
