Did we really find a Gibson Les Paul guitar in the garbage?

I think the speakers you left on the curb were worth far more than everything else you picked up.

One way to see if it is a real Gibson just touch the headstock and if it breaks you got a 100% real Gibson lol!

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.

Mate, you should've dumped all that 25 cent junk and loaded up those Trace Elliot PA cabs. 🤣

I grew up with cheap copies of Gibson and fender guitars , anything prodoudst now is 100 percent better than what I had available 40 years ago , I would be happy to find that guitar .

Trace Elliott are a famous British bass guitar amplifier speaker brand. They’re worth something now. Those are Speakon connections.

Y'all in the comments are fuxing ridiculous! That's a free electric guitar that Looks like a Gibson Les Paul! Who cares if it's a knock off! It's free! I'd play the hell out that guitar and be grateful as fux!!

Those speaker boxes probably had UK Celestion speakers in them worth at least $150 a speaker. You could have just pulled the speakers and left the boxes.

Those Trace Elliott speakers go for quite a lot of money here in the U.K they were quite expensive when new.

I can't believe you left those speakers.😢

Never Leave Trace Elliott anything on the curb pure rookie

That’s a sweet guitar. From what I can see it looks like it’s missing the nut. I’ll bet it’ll play well once you fix it, give it a set up and new strings

Yeah its a Chibson,..as long as it works, in that the electronics work and the neck is not warped.I would say $25-$45

The guitar would make interesting wall art.

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

Those Trace Elliot speakers are ace, I’d taken them in a heartbeat

Its a chibson, giveaways are the headstock/tuner spacing and the flat head screw posts on the bridge

A custom chibson but still cool!! Nice finds!

I trashpicked a pretty decent MIM Squier P- bass. Needed a nut and some cleaning and setup. Great tone. After about a decade I had to put a replacement neck since bass necks can go bad. Trace Eliot as mentioned decent bass rig. Chibsons with P90 pickups?

Wish i had that guitar id fix it and play it... love the look of it.
