[@Trog]

I remember seeing this one on Reverb about 2 years ago. I think the asking price was around 4k. I like the odd ball models and always thought this would make a funny player's Les Paul or a great review topic on my channel. He definitely paid more than I would for it but it was cool to see it featured here!

I thought chums spending limit was a $1,000. so obvious when he reads a script lol. its amazing he hasnt been fired.

[@jakesanders269]

Tim Tam's Yeah the fact that people believe he actually knows this stuff is pretty funny. Rick and his family treat Chum like a son so that's the only way he kept his job.

[@jakesanders269]

Conservative Minuteman History channel owns the show but Rick owns the pawn shop. Chum isn't losing his job. If an actor did what Chum did he would have been fired. Rick protected him.

[@internetvide0]

The show is scripted most of these items go on ebay and get sold for 4 x what they are worth since they been on show.

Each of them make 20k+ per episode so I think they are well off, lol.

I don't think they lost any money on that. Supposedly items that are sold to them go for even higher for being on the show.

[@prettynoose8497]

They made money on this! Now they can market it as "Guitar seen on Pawn Stars".....it will sell for $10K minimum!!

Should've never offered more than $1500, maybe $2000 if chum really wanted to push it.

[@claudiaa.999]

0:31 "used by many popular musicians including Slash, Madonna and Eric Clapton". They wrote Madonna and not Jimmy Page?!?!?! Are they effing serious!??!?!? Also, Eric Clapton's signature guitar is Stratocaster, not Les Paul.

[@boataxe4605]

Claudia Well Jimmy Page is best known for singing pop songs!😂

[@bleromafia]

well page recorded entire albums with a telecaster

[@guilhermejrmarin]

Page used a Tele on Zeppelin 1 and Stairway to Heaven to name just a few ocasions. Also,Clapton played Gibson before he stareted to use a strat.He ocasonally plays Gibsons to this day

[@uspsdaveable]

Clapton originally played a Les Paul......

[@steelydanfan321]

When I think Clapton I really think les Paul and sg models

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

So it's a 2006 reissue of a 1957 Les Paul. With possibly the worst ever custom finish. And he never plugged it in and checked the electronics. Oh and seeing as it had some dings on the headstock don't think to check the neck for damage coz the headstocks never ever snap off Gibsons right? Christ $3500 was way way too much in my opinion. What kind of cool guitar player wants tennis players on the front??????

[@timkerr4964]

You're saying what everyone's thinking

[@nana-hi2xu]

ya not sure why he paid 3500. maybe it was just staged. The only thing you can do is have it refinished and get your money back maybe.

[@l.skynyrd2863]

Yup, I would have it restored back to what a 57 is supposed to look like and possibly sell it for 4k. If it's actually a 57 reissue that is. I don't care if it is one of a kind, that's just ugly.

[@charliejones3119]

Personally I would of said like 200 at a push then just rerpayed it it doesn't look custom painted it looks like they've got a sticker book and just plastered the guitar with them

"Sounds good, looks like its working" lol

[@TheCombatMedicBand]

all jokes aside, I'd totally play that guitar. Its basically an R7 with a tennis theme and gold hardware.

[@er1cmaurer]

Refinish that guitar, that is the only way you'll get a penny out of it. And Pawn Stars says Madonna is known for playing a Les Paul? Ah,....no.

[@markcheetah4960]

Nah, the bad tops get sold just like all the other ones for full price. There's some nightmarish examples out there.

[@Djarra]

She has her own artist model that you can order from the custom shop should you so desire. Perhaps the most bizarre thing about the Madonna Les Paul is that apart from having standard pickups and her logo on the head it's identical to Rammstein guitarist Paul Lander's model. It even has the flame retardant paint.

[@Tijuanabill]

Their whole list was flawed. Clapton quit playing LPs in the 60s, and Slash plays a replica.

[@guitaristjd6170]

hey I'm a guitar player ( can play only one chord ) that guitar isn't a custom that's a studio deluxe

[@envi7435]

Chum Lee got smart on guitars all of a sudden. LOL! and he didn't even call an expert.

[@frankcastle9691]

The go-to tune? Budgie's "Forearm smash", off of "power supply", 1980.

[@mikephillips8538]

Wow Chum caved in you could tell he was not proud of his haggling performance. It's alright Chum walk it off get the next one buddy.

[@birdy1numnum]

Hearing Chum "recite" his "reality TV" lines is painful. Thanks Chumlee, good to know that a Les Paul is a collectible guitar...and oh he mad Rick mad again - didn't see that coming.

[@poundtacos4006]

McEnroe plays guitar and I doubt he’d like this, haha!

[@brianglade848]

The mustache on the guitar gives it the creepy look

[@guitarmaniacgino]

I'd still play this no problem.

[@stripesd]

Same

[@Saybleu]

I love Les Paul's and while this guitar is not that attractive it's still a Les Paul so I'd probably just get the guitar refinished at the Custom Shop.

[@freddyschulp3766]

why would anyone sell a guitar to these guys

[@freddyschulp3766]

yes dude, thats exactly what i was thinking

A chance to be on a tv show that 22 million people watch.

You really would have to be a moron to sell a guitar to a pawn shop.

Because you can get Chumlee to over-pay.

[@rockongrx20]

Looks like it's working? How? When? Where?

[@CryptidProductions]

I knew that was gonna happen. It's such a niche thing and that guitar us so tacky and butt-ugly the graphics might actually make it worth LESS than a stock 2006 Les Paul unless you find someone eccentric that wants it precisely because it's butt ugly and weird. It's a perfect example of why unique doesn't mean valuable.

[@jesperhjensen1978]

"I was hoping for a little bit more money" should be the tagline for the Show

"It's all tuned up?" 😂😂😂 It takes a minute tops to tune a guitar.

[@Djarra]

You ask that with a Les Paul to get the seller to put it in tune incase they have detuned it completely to hide a crack in the head/neck join that prevents it from holding tune.

[@DMSProduktions]

Wouldn't give $1K for that monstrosity!

[@mateuszt6498]

To be honest, you could sell it for an attractive price (2k?) it is after all a Gibson LP made by the custom shop, and a refin is no problem... there you go, a '57 reissue for a much lower price, and you can get a vintage correct refin, although with the gold hardware I guess it won't be correct. It's worth the effort if someone wants to save some money.

[@simfong999]

Yea but did the Mr Brown went to the US open?

[@FRISHR]

Gibsons in that condition go up in value all the time and every year. This Pawn store will be able to sell it and it sitting till the buyer shows up will not loose value. $5500.00 is an excellent buy. Of that guitar was made in the Memphis factory before it closed its doors that also might bring more money too. Man should try Craig's list ir an online auction before Pawning it.
