President-elect Donald Trump has recently expanded his line of branded products to include a series of guitars. The latest addition, a 'Limited Edition '45' Guitar,' features an American flag and eagle design on the body, with Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan inlaid into the neck. These guitars are available in both acoustic and electric styles, priced at $1,250 and $1,500, respectively. Additionally, there are 'Presidential' and 'God Bless the USA' models, as well as 'Signature Edition' guitars that come with a $10,000 price tag and include Trump's signature.
It remains unclear what financial arrangement exists between Trump and the proceeds from the guitar sales. Trump has a history of merging his political and business interests, with a range of branded products being launched since his 2024 White House campaign began. Some of these products, such as the 'Official Trump Watch Collection,' are associated with CIC Ventures LLC, a company listed in Trump's 2023 financial disclosure.
While websites for other Trump-branded items include disclaimers about paid license agreements, the GetTrumpGuitars.com site does not provide such information. The site does mention that these guitars are 'the ONLY guitars endorsed by President Donald J. Trump!' but lacks the licensing language found on other product sites.
The privacy policy on the guitar website lists a suburban Nashville address for a couple who attended Trump's election-night party in Florida. Attempts to reach the branding agency listed on the site and Trump's transition team were unsuccessful.
Leading up to his general election victory, Trump has introduced various products for sale, including $100 silver coins, a 'God Bless the USA Bible,' and Trump-branded sneakers. He has also ventured into the world of NFTs, earning significant amounts from digital trading cards depicting him in various cartoon-like images.
