Do Not Dispose of Chinese Trashcan Guitar...Whaaaaat?

[JGalt]

So I bought this Chinese-made Epiphone Les Paul Jr. at a garage sale for $20. It probably isn't worth that much more but hey, the price was right. There are some labels on the back of the headstock, one of which depicts a garbage can with an "X" over it.

Does that mean I'm not supposed to throw it in a trash can?

That's weird. Back in my day, guitars were not meant to be recycled. They usually outlived several owners and got passed on and on for a long time.

You can probably double your investment by pealing off the stickers.

Crappy bolt-on neck though. Ever see a real Gibson or Epiphone with a bolt-on neck?
