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.

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 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.
