Depends on the person, Dare it be that they actually think it is in good condition or if they’re aware it’s not. They don’t usually care and will typically purposefully list as good condition and take pictures usually that will make their item look better than it does in person and than it comes to the buyer to see they were dooped. Unfortunately.
I just bought a 2022 Studio off Reverb. The guy said it was mint. It shows up and has scratches all over the back, nicks on top of the head and really bad finish damage from a hook hanger. Now I’m fighting with him and Reverb to get my money back. He wants to file a FedEx claim but the box was in perfect condition and packed better than guitars from the factory…
It's not dishonest advertising as much as it's poorly thought out. All of those images were from the listing, so any potential buyer can see in what condition it is. For it to truly be dishonest, they'd have to try concealing all of the customizing and repairs.
Paint and lacquer don't make it sound better, a dent scratch chip doesn't ruin the sound. I care much more about the wood and how it was put together. The luthier took care. The intonation is great. The wiring hasn't been done 3 times with ugly solder blobs and other crappy electrical work. The switches are original but still work because no one has ever spilled beer into the pick guard. Those are things I care about. But I also haven't ever spent 4k on a guitar cause I'm not a rich boy.
@@dannystarkridesfixedit's called sales name me one person who will be honest and downgrade their own sale. I'm one of them. Because I suck at sales. Definition it a tire kicker. U know ior u don't. U want it or u don't. U can afford it or u can't. It sounds good or bad. Price is something made up, besides materials and craftsmanship. You can find amazing guitars very rarely that look like total junk and probably cost like 70 bucks back when, but the wood is nice and guy who put it together did really excellent work and it sounds great but is still a piece of crap guitar.
@TheCollector1987 If people want them and want to pay it, what's your beef? Seems the first run sold out quickly. If you don't like it, don't buy them.
Yeah...I mean you have to go out of your way to screw a guitar up that bad. You'd ave to go even further to then ask 4k for it after taking pictures of the crime. A brand new lefty J-45 is like 3k and is probably less prone to neck dive 😂
This is beyond "criminal," and to think this was a '74 Black Beauty Anniversary Custom! It's not even worth $500, because nothing is worth salvaging except the fretboard! It's totaled.
I think a one of the bigger problems with the hacked up Les Paul is the guitar is left handed and the weigh was removed from below the the strap buttons making the guitar top heavy and wanting to roll over so to speak.
As if a Les Paul was even well balance to begin with. Never liked em. I need that shit to be steady my hip bone of a bone I got zero fat, and no one can tell exactly how much effort the put into holding the thing steady instead of playing music. If your guitar isn't hanging properly balanced and stable you either fix that it sit on a chair cause you are losing dexterity by having to stabilize the thing instead of playing it.
I'm amazed Les Pauls that have endured such extensive 'amateur' repairs & modifications are still relatively valuable! I figured that after I broke the headstock on my mid 90s Ebony Standard that the guitar was now essentially WORTHLESS for re-sale, so I repaired the damage myself figuring there was no longer any chance of selling it for more than a 'part out'! Luckily the guitar still plays great, and my repair has remained solid for over 5 years, but it's nice to know that it might still have some value in case I'm ever DESPERATE for cash! lol And a word of advice, ALWAYS UNPLUG your guitar before resting it on a stand! I stupidly left mine plugged in and carelessly tripped over the cord, causing the guitar to suffer a life-changing 'face-plant'...
@@StreetPreacherr I hope and pray that you NEVER have to sell your guitar out of desperation. I know what it feels like to lose something you love. I too always unplug my guitars although I've never had that problem I'm glad that you got yours fixed! 👍
The kahler is from the kolors series. They also made white, blue, and gray parts for a limited time in the 80s, in addition to the standard chrome, black, and chrome.
At least two of the lefty Les Pauls shown had right handed truss rod covers. Did they really leave the factory that way, or did someone cheap out on replacement parts?
Trog, if my eyesight was working correctly, it looked like the one fret marker said “20th anniversary” on that black LP, but it sounded like you said “25th anniversary.” I don’t mean to be nitpicky, but if that’s correct, you might want to make a correction to the video. Alternatively, my eyesight or hearing might be the issue!
Right ! Pay me $1500 and I’ll make it disappear . It can sleep with the fishes . At least no one would ever know you had had it ! My word , what a mess .
@6:31 I don't mind the upgrade. He probably got a deal on e Bay or something. As it was an option on this guitar I don't at all. However, it should be mentioned at the time of sale. A guitar this old is likely to have several lifes under its belt. A non-original part like that one is just part of its provence.
Did anyone else catch Trogly misspeaking in reference to the Explorer with the vibrola? When he shows pictures, the bridge on the guitar is the picture he calls a "Master-Tune" and he calls the one on the guitar a "Pro-Tune". The one on the guitar is actually a Master-Tune, not a Pro-tune.
An EMG 89 is EMG's original dual sound humbucker. Good sounds but when setting the height of the pickup, you do have to settle for more a single coil height or a humbucker height. Which compromises the other setting. The rout out of the guitar body is perilous. I doubt a pickguard could hold it together either, possibly buckling at the edges? Better served looking for more original guitars to be honest.
It's also not an "early" EMG. The 89 was introduced in... 1989. EMG were not exactly inventive when it came to their model naming. I bought and installed a pair of them in my '84 Studio (that had an 81/60 combo installed when I got it). I liked the 89 - was a neat way to switch sounds in the middle of a song without having to use pedals.
@@ianfurqueron5850 So, the first of four decades isn't early? Also, the 60 wasn't made in 1960, same goes for the 57 and 66, so I guess they do get a little creative with their naming. Dying to know what you consider a single coil "pickup height" vs humbucker. Emgs are generally meant to be pretty close to the strings, they have weak magnets.
@@shelbyavant5081 Yes, I am aware the 60 and similar models are not from the 60's. The 89 was still from 1989. No idea what you mean by the height comment. Yes - I ran the pickups close to the strings.
Honestly, the only way to restore this would be to re-top it with a brand new maple top and re-finish and that... that kind of husk is not worth over $1200 - just the value of the neck plus hardware.
I remember the Kahler Kolors ad w all the different trems blue, red, white, etc Used to see that on the back cover of GFTPM magazine.. imo, that was the best of the American guitar magazines.
That Les Paul also has the outline from a right handed pick guard as well. There's a LOT MORE to the story that we will never know. Some people do some strange things...
A TH-cam guitar repair guy got a really beat up Guitar Center Dumpster Les Paul from Brad The Guitaroligist. The repair guy did an amazing job. It was in pieces when Brad got it.
I managed to repair a headstock break on my mid 90s Ebony LP Standard using a healthy amount of 'Titebond' and a few clamps! Luckily it snapped just above the truss rod cover, so fretboard/action/tuners weren't affected, and it just needed the top section of the headstock reattached well enough to hold string tension! Been holding strong for over 5 years, but is there any way to fix a horizontal 'scar' in the snapped 'Holly' without trying to replace the entire veneer?
This guitar has a the custom upsized chambered option to give it that extra extra "turn it up to 11" sustain. Play it through a JangleBox into a Vox AC 30 and it will produce those lush Rickenbacker 12 string jangle and chime tones we all know and love. The previous owner has essentially created a Gibson Les Paul 360 in JetGlo with double binding.
Fun?! Sacrilege! The black Custom LP is a pitiful sight, but credit for making the so called pickguard hide the, ugh, worst of it. After that trauma I couldn't concentrate on the rest...
I love seeing guitars like these a lot ngl. It was an adventurous musician trying to seek ways to improve their instrument to make it more playable. Why deal with problems if you can attempt fixing them? I used to fill in for a bass player in a bigband, the guitar player was a lefthanded player. He had played the same bass, a 1978 Yamaha BB1200, for about 30 years. The bass was righthanded, he was lefthanded, so he swapped around the strings, figured he needed the extra range so he sawed off a chunk of the body. I was like 18 when I was playing a gig with him, I told about my dream bass being a BB series Yamaha. He ended up giving me his instrument. I've used it on every studio recording ever since, until yeeaarrs later my father and I decided to repair the horn he sawed off (being converted to a righty missing the horn it was stupidly top heavy), it's bright green now, a definite player. I later found out he had a terminal form of cancer and sadly passed away right after the restoration. He saw the photos, was eager to hold it in his hands but didn't get to as he got hospitalized one day before I'd meet up with him... The guitar went from devalued to priceless now.

I got my ass kicked for it later, but since the damage was already done a bunch of chiseling later a 3 band EQ was added, I pulled the frets out and filled them with plastic strips to make it fretless, played it for many years until I bought a replacement neck and the original ended in the fire pit... When we decided to buy a router, I took the liberty to mill out a big cavity, it has a million of existing screw holes. I've used it for quite a while to test out many new pickup designs and try out some preamps and stuff. Never did I expect these instruments to rise in value so quickly in the following years. I still don't regret doing this however, it's served me amazingly in many prototyping projects, it's still a great quality instrument and even in it's sorry state I'm sure it will last me decades to come... I'm currently slowly planning to properly restore it and put a pair of homemade electrostatic pickups in it. In the end, an instrument is a tool, it's meant to be used after all. I know it doesn't apply to everyone but as long as it sounds good and plays well, it's a winner to me :-)
US dealer exclusives often make their way to Japan. Sometimes there’ll be very minor differences. For example, back in 2019, wildwood had a run of exclusive ‘54 custom reissues. At the same time, there was a “japan exclusive” ‘55 custom reissue that ishibashi (and maybe others) got. I picked one of those up myself. What’s the difference between a ‘54 and a ‘55 reissue? Beats me. Maybe the neck profile is slightly different?
I am a lefty. I hate guitar shopping so much. Simplest way to summarise the experience of guitar shopping as a lefty is: "Yo that’s sick" 2 seconds later: "Aw they don’t/didn’t make it left handed :c" "… maybe some day I’ll be able to afford a custom or something…" "Nah probably not tbh…"
I agree the hacked up lefty is way over priced, but if you could get it for reasonable money, just replace the "pickguard" with one that is the shape of the entire top, maybe in metal instead of plastic (like brushed aluminum or brass). Move the pickup to the bridge position and make it a steampunk looking heavy metal guitar. If the neck is in nice shape it would make a good player
Like I said before, according to a person that I talked to, he said that it's impossible because of the way it's wired internally. If you don't believe me, contact EMG, they'll tell you the same thing. I wanted to do that myself. It's really too bad, it would have been really cool.
@@KaycieCarryl22654 I did some research. It is impossible because the housing does not contain two seperate pickups but consists of three underwound bobbins, approximately half the hight of a normal bobbin. All you can do is choose to switch between a normal "horizontal" humbucker mode or a stacked humbucker (single-coil) mode. Which means one bobbin is always on and cannot be deactivated. I guess the two preamp stacks are there because EMG uses different EQ settings for their humbuckers and single-coils.
Nice Les Paul. It'll buff out. Edit, Wait, what about this trem on the Explorer? The Protune requires a rout like a Kahler but the Protune does not. How does that make any sense?
you know what they say, the louder the better! I bet all the tone wood they took out made this sound like shit! 🤣🤣 No more piano lows, or classic feel!
🔴 Check this one out on Reverb: tidd.ly/47lNtMQ
How can they truthfully say that Les Paul is in very good condition. That is very dishonest advertising.

All you can do is choose to switch between a normal "horizontal" humbucker mode or a stacked humbucker (single-coil) mode. Which means one bobbin is always on and cannot be deactivated. I guess the two preamp stacks are there because EMG uses different EQ settings for their humbuckers and single-coils.
For future reference. Kahler made their bridges in powder coated colors. You can find ads if you google them
Sorry, but at the 12th fret I see "Twentieth" Anniversary, Not Twenty Fifth.
Difficult to see anyone paying 1500 for a chopped up guitar...
How can someone do that !
In the corner and my body shaking like I just saw hell after seeing what was under the pick guard.
It would have been funny if there was money or coke hidden in it.
the red trem bridge would look amazing on a ibanez super strat
As a lefty this hurts even more 😭
That Les Paul "mod" makes me sad.
The whole thing is " FIRE WOOD! "
I would call this guitar "The Hollow" in reference to the song from A Perfect Circle. Ooof!
If this was a car, it'd be on "Just Rolled In"
Could that hole be fixed with high quality Epoxy resin?
This one just hurt.
My brother put a James hetfield emg in his Gibson sg melding maker
EMG are great pickups.
Not going to lie, but with those bolts on top..... That guitar would look great for a Streampunk themed industrial metal band.
At this point, that's basically an acoustic guitar with the amount of open space inside! xD
Gibson garage has 2 AJ V's with artwork
Nice Les Paul. It'll buff out.
Edit,
Wait, what about this trem on the Explorer? The Protune requires a rout like a Kahler but the Protune does not. How does that make any sense?
Hey there
This is unbelievable what they want for this, they should be ashamed asking that much. Should be less than a 1,000$.
Oh. My. God.
I say fill in the empty space with dowels.
That I lay says 20th.
Need a big picture of Pinocchio in the middle.
They’re out of their minds unless someone buys it to repair
Best sounding Les Paul I've ever heard had two EMG 85s in it
you know what they say, the louder the better! I bet all the tone wood they took out made this sound like shit! 🤣🤣 No more piano lows, or classic feel!
Ouuucccchhhh!!!
