"Gibson Halts Trump Guitars' Les Paul Models; Reveals No Official Ties"

# Trump Guitars Rebrands Models After Cease and Desist from Gibson

The brand, endorsed by the incoming 47th US President, has revamped its guitars after breaching trademark infringement laws. Gibson issued a cease and desist order to the owner of Trump Guitars, 16 Creative, after their models infringed upon Gibson’s exclusive trademark and the iconic Les Paul body shape.

## Updates to Trump Guitars

Trump Guitars has revamped its line’s initial single-cut electric American Eagle and Presidential series models, by introducing the new 22-fret Presidential designs, which are available in black, gold, and red. The guitars now feature a mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fretboard with “Make America Great Again” inlays. Other notable features include “Magabenders” strings and Maga 45 “Trumpbuckers.” The new guitars are available for pre-sale.

## The Redesign Models

As per the company’s official website, all the guitars featured on GetTrumpGuitars.com were custom-designed and developed by a veteran-owned company. Additionally, the guitars have been manufactured by multiple providers and “include parts/features that are both domestic and international.”

## Modifications on the Official Website

The controversial, previous models have been marked as sold out, with large banners entirely obscuring the guitar mockups. Additionally, photos of Trump with the LP-style guitar have been photoshopped, and now feature the line’s acoustic guitar instead.

## Disclaimer and Reactions

Trump Guitars has added a disclaimer to its website, stating its non-affiliation, authorization, or endorsement by Gibson Brands Inc., or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Trump Guitars has not commented on the situation when contacted by *Guitar World*.

The altered guitar designs, updated color range, and enhanced features are a part of the rebranding strategy. The new guitars are now available for pre-sale.
