Good that you saved the electric guitar. A Chibson in that condition is a solid $150 instrument. The inlays are correct for that model Gibson, it is a Les Paul Custom model which uses block inlays. The lower level Les Paul Standard use the trapezoid inlays. Specifically the Les Paul Custom you found is a reissue version of a 1954 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty which uses the older P90 pickups. And yes, "Grover" who made those tuning machines is located in China. Those large Trace Elliot monitor speakers are worth about $150 each.

Gibson custom’s have “Ebony” necks, not rosewood. The guitar is a fake in every way. The wiring is a big giveaway. The finish is not Gibson, the yellowing of binding only occurs with years of age. Fake tuners, and the inlays are not pearloid, or MOP. They look like white stickers.

@@fluxerflixer1 I don't think that there is any doubt that it's a chibson from Ali express, or HD gate etc... Your right that the RR board really sticks out, and the binding is almost orange. Vintage Gibson's didn't use MOP, but celluloid inlays.

@@TheJimburke -- Hondo guitars were very well made. Most of the early Japanese stuff is as good or better than most Gibsons, it's just that back then everyone wanted a real Gibson and in fact they still do. I had a 1976 Ibanez copy of the Gibson Explorer and it was amazing - just as good as any Gibson. I sure wish I'd had kept the damned thing, and they're pretty expensive now too if you can even find one.

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. He is a scrapper and he's constantly throwing stuff he can sell for 10x the scrap value into the trunk (with the scrap crap). It's the homeowners that really boggle my mind though. People are just spolied, lazy, and dumb. A LOT of what he shows us on those curbs could at least be donated, if not sold. I think the scrappers and cord cutters are a bit wasteful, but I guess they get some points for keeping at least some of the stuff out of the landfill.

A custom chibson but still cool!! Nice finds!
Even my grandmother could tell that's a chibson but people use as mod platforms could have replaced parts which a quicklook from means i could tell nothing on it is worthwhile but you never know when someone tosses a abr one, Seymour Duncan pups, Dunlop straplocks, real grovers, hell even Gibson knobs and trust rod covers have wealth. Still could get 50 bucks out that guitar realistically but yeah speakers could of been worthwhile. You never know had a friends grandfather run across a 70s pancake body black custom in a junk pile shit like that does happen you look long enough not everyone knows guitars.
The logo and bridge tell you it's a Chibson... Still an interesting find though... I would have definitely taken the Trace Elliots 😊
Trace Elliot bass cabs. These are cabinets for a bass guitar. The connectors are simple 2 wire speajer cable.with a 1/4 inch mono the cabs are certainly worth something. Speakers might be blown up but if not you could likely get a grand from them
Soon as I seen the Binding color I knew it was a Chibson lol. But some of those Knockoff Les Paul’s are actually Well built. I’d buy it for like $150.
Those speakers were the real score
Its a chibson, giveaways are the headstock/tuner spacing and the flat head screw posts on the bridge
Cool looking guitar 🎸. Im not sure what you found there without seeing in person. Most likely something from banggood made to resemble a less Paul custom. Someone removed the nut on the neck & that's a bad sign. Most likely has a warped neck, tuning issues. How did you make out on the Gibsun lol😂 ?? . Awesome content, glade I found your channel.

I work on a garbage truck and one time it was completely disassembled but I got to put back together and completely restored but it was in 1964 ish Gibson SG

Les paul customs have ebony fretboards. That one is clearly rosewood, meaning its probably a chinese replica

Chibson for sure!! Can tell by the bridge
I caught a glimpse of the back of the headstock. There's a square stamp made in USA. there's a stamped serial number check it out .
Les Pauls do have square inlays on the neck! I would have it checked out by someone! They can tell what year by the numbers on the pots on the back of the tone and column knobs! I would love to find a Black Les Paul in the trash!
Is the body one pice of wood or do you see a split? Same with the stock
The "Grover" Muppet pun made this worth watching. Gotta love Grover!
Why did you leave the Trace Elliott there ?!???
do you still have this guitar?

All the hallmarks of a Chibson. People would want it to fix it up, however since it’s a forgery it’s illegal to sell in the US.

Chibson les paul. No Gibson would have the epiphone bridge and binding THAT yellowed. But it is a nice guitar none the less. Some of them are worth a lil bit. If they play.

Chibson. Binding color, super shiny poly finish and headstock split diamond are the dead giveaway features. Still a cool freebie, but definitely counterfeit.
Your car is like a Skip on wheels! The state of it!
definitely a Chibson i could immediately tell by the truss rod style and the tune o matic … not an abr-1 and the spacing is metric
where the heck do you live? that neighborhood throws away some nice stuff.
The wiring was the dead giveaway. Still surprised they tossed it. I had a Chinese 'Gibson 'LP that wasn't bad along the lines of an Epiphone.

I have a feeling the neck was warped beyond use. U can see that the truss rod cover was off and the owner was probably trying to adjust it without success. Thing probably buzzes worse than a 1000 bees.
I actually found a 72 Les Paul Custom in a trash out in a trailer park in Michigan. It had some sort of glass like paint on the top that was so thick that it was covering the pickup rings. Long story short at the time I wasn't much of a guitar player. I met this dude who was and we made a deal for some drums. Well turns out the drums weren't his to trade so I gave them back to the owner but never got the Les Paul back. So essentially it was stolen from me. I heard it was taken to Elderly Instruments in Lansing for a refinish but was unable to pay for it. So I imagine someone got it.
I cannot for the life of me figure why someone would throw away a guitar, Gibson or not, in that good of a shape? Its insane!

in my pen in any guitar is good if it's solidly built and don't have loose parts and have a great sound any guitar is good does a matter what brand it is if it's a copy or not.
Did you spot street first with lame app?
The orange binding and logo says fake Gibbo to me. Those Trace Elliott wedge monitors looked worth having.
The slotted screw adjustment on that bridge is a giveaway A Gibbie has threaded pin posts and the wheel under is how to adjust height
Lovely car sir !!!!
The (chibson) Chinese Gibson Les Paul guitar needs a nut and truss rod cover And a good set up. I like the Counterfeit copy P90 pickups. Do all that you can get $200-$300 out of it easy.
That’s a good thing the guitar was right where you put it
Check the seriak number at a Gibson database. The truss rod cover is gone.
First tool is a Garden Weasel. Sold on infomercials on TV.
I wouldn't be surprised im about to launch mine into the trash can I've tried everything to set it up and get rid of buzzing frets and it's a complete lemon straight from guitar center
what was in the box?
9 digit serial numbers started in 05 if im not mistaken. I can’t see this guitar yellowing that much from 05 to now plus everything else about the guitar looks pretty new. That on top of the fact that it’s a les paul custom in the trash makes me think it’s one of the fakes you get from china that looks real but everything about it is cheap and the person probably never could get it to play right and nobody would buy it so they finally just threw it away.

1:01 - Nice tool box !!!👍 Where do you live? Because I need to move there! So what if it's a Chibson. It can be modified into a great sounding guitar. New pots, pickups, tuners, some new knobs and maybe a new bridge and tailpiece and you're good to go.
Is this available?

I genuinely found a fender jaguar sticking out of a bin. The neck was completely snapped but the body was fine. I traded it for an electric piano
Damn where the hell do you pick. It's a gold mine
Trace Elliot!!! 😟 ...Chibson, the body is a laminated wood, a ply wood, but it's ok, as long as it's playable, comfortable and has a great tone... Why Not!
You need a pickup or something larger! Those Trace Elliot and Polk Audio speakers were worth more, even by volume, than a lot of the rest. Those were "Speakon" connectors. The "part" near the end is a starter with a solenoid on the side. While I miss doing that, overall it sucks that the affluent just throw good things in the trash. So much waste. They should be calling Salvation Army or some such.
Guitar was probably just under $200 new and it’s busted so whatever the market for that is. I’d buy it for $75 tops if it looked fixable in person.
I know this is 2 years ago, but the crappy cut truss rod hole is dead giveaway that the les paul is counterfeit. Just for future reference.
