There is a Canadian luthier who makes his own replacement pick guards. His channel is called “twoodfrd”. Does quality work and is very knowledgable.
I recall Ted mentioning that he's been having a really tough time finding suppliers as of late and that it's basically impossible to ship internationally due to celluloid's extreme flammability. It was a few episodes back I believe. I wanna say the one where he re did the body binding on that old gibson acoustic cuz the vintage stuff was rotting off
Ted is pretty booked solid right now very busy dude.
The thing I like about his channel is that he's very honest with what he finds on the guitar even when you can't see it he'll point it out that way if you're the one buying the guitar and you watch the video you are going to know everything that is wrong with that guitar cuz he shows you everything whereas most people that are reselling would hide that so you're awesome for that reason buddy keep up the great work
Said he's keeping this for his own collection
Ebay has your guitar for sale. 22 of 30. Seller out of Japan. March 12, 2022.
I actually prefer the Gibson silkscreen logo on this one. It goes nice with the truss rod cover.
Good call
Agreed 100% that’s a great looking headstock
Love the HOG, been visiting weekly for over 30 years, been my new cassette/cd source all along. I've purchased some gear over the years as well, but not recently. Before album sales dwindled, they used to open at midnight to sell the hot new releases.
They still have the giant pile of t-shirts coming in the back door? I haven't been there in several years.
@@AlanRutherford Tons of shirts as usual. Band tees are by the back door, HOG tees usually at the side door by the ticket counter.
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Can’t wait for your museum.
Congratulations on finding a unicorn of sorts.
From Rochester, NY thanks for doing this video!
Hey Austin, If memory serves me correctly, I was the original purchaser of that HOG Les Paul. I'm 99% sure mine was serial number 22 of 30. Some time around 1999 I sold it to Elliot down at Rumble Seat music, along with a HOG 25th anniversary Silverburst standard. Back when I sold it, Elliot had MANY MANY Japanese collectors on speed dial, and it would not surprise me if that is how that guitar ended up in Japan. The ORIGINAL case that came with the 30th Studio was a Black Levys Gig Bag, and the Les Paul photo was installed on the guitar, right before my very eyes by Andy Babiuk, the author of "Beatles Gear" and "Rolling Stones Gear".
There is another HOG guitar on display at the shop. Has house of guitars spelled out in abalone on the fret board. I can't remember if it's a custom or a standard custom shop though.
I especially shopped for a studio just for the reason. I ended up with a 97 ebony w/ gold trim and 496/500 pups. For $800. With a chainsaw case. Now I've replaced anything that could be labeled inferior including Kluson locking tuners, Tonespro locking bridge, Tusc XL nut, CTS 500K pots, 50's wiring with cloth wrapped wires. Love this guitar now.
Rock on brother! Gotta love a studio!…
Oil of Olay body wash commercial right in the middle of this. Maybe I should get some.
I Googled Ulay. Now I know everything I need to know about Oil of Olay. Everyday is a learning experience.
The coolest Les Paul you have shown so far in your channel, in my opinion. Love black, I like no binding, and those inlays are insanely cool.
TROGLY IN THE HOUSE!!!
I'm happy to learn that not everything collectable is $5-20K. Gives me hope.
until you see it on a big youtube channel
Try window shopping for a 90s studio on reverb, they're 1500-2000. Ridiculous. These are 800 guitars all day long. Everything is jacked up these days.
@@wadeguidry6675 I agree. Only the limited edition studio models from the 90’s should be close to that price range.
Kewl beans! H.O.G. I lived in Ottawa Ontario in my teens in the 70s (no, not the 1870s smart guy), and we got the Rochester t.v. stations. H.O.G. used to buy a ton of late night ad spots on local t.v. and their ads we're kinda dumb, silly, and fun. Late movies and H.O.G. ads were s staple of my teens. Also, lots of local pickers would go to Rochester to shop for guitars at H.O.G.. I think they probably did a fair bit of Canuck business. I'm pumped to hear they are still around.
Dude, you GOTTA keep this one... :-)
Austin is in His House 🏠 of AWESOME Guitars 🎸🎸🎸✌️👍🎸🎸🎸
Randy in the house
I grew up in Irondequoit NY where the House of Guitars is located. 2 of my best friends, twin brothers, have worked there for years. I've spent much time and money at this place and it's one of my favorite places in the world. Thank you so much for giving this little shop some love. By the way I bought the Billie Joe Armstrong soft shell guitar case from you. Love your videos. Keep it up! 🤘
That's got a unique tone, def a keeper. The HOG is a throwbak to the way music stores each used to have tbeir unique and special personalities. Guitars, new and used, stacked wall to wall and floor to ceiling, memorabelia everwhere, and a downstairs full of vinyl , cds, hog shirts, posters etc.
Bought my first guitars from the House of Guitars when I was in high school in the early 80s. Such a cool place, amazing selection of gear, all bands that signed the walls, the huge selection of albums, the vibe... Became a pandemic player and wish there was.a place like the HOG where I now live inTX.
Wallmart
An hour late came in at 39th
Fun Facts! For a long time, Andy Babiuk was the manager at HoG. He was also the bassist for The Chesterfield Kings, and then, The Empty Hearts, which includes Elliot Easton of The Cars! Currently, Andy has his own guitar shop, Fab Gear. Oh, and check out his Beatle book, Fab Gear! Betcha di'n't know!
Sweet studio sounds great
Was there around the time it came out. Very cool.
Yes guitars will rot in their case. That's why they need to be played
Beautiful
Nice playing! Love that 'Houses of the Holy' was played on the House of Guitars LP 🤩
Anniversaryception
You could google the old House of Guitars ads from the 70’s
I have an early 90's Les paul with gold hardware - It doesn't have a celluloid pickguard, but has all the same metal oxidisation that you blame on celluloid! like the green bubbling gold plating, rusty screws, pitting on the bridge, and finish checking!
Dude the HOG is such a cool place, they’ve got a crap ton of guitars and whatnot on the first floor, drums upstairs and records/cds/cassettes in the basement. i’ve been there twice and recently got an awesome Guild acoustic!
Very cool studio. I'd say you made a good buy on that one.
I have always used McGuire's Ultimate Compound for polishing. Works great.
No, I think you’re right about the switch tip. Without going to my office, moving the 2 Les Pauls and an SG sitting in front of my Studio and looking at the tip I believe they’re a bit longer and taper toward the metal switch a bit tighter.
You either gotta give a thumbs up to a guy with a memory and the attention to detail like that, or a definite thumbs up for the humorous sarcasm (if that be the case in this instance)! Either way I am impressed…
@@igorshunch 100% I LOVE this channel. While I had been playing guitar nearly every single day since I had been in a band back in 2017 (I’ve played guitar since 1987 & until 2017 it had never been more than a passing hobby and I could go a month or more without playing unless I was in a band at some point during that 30yr span) this channel has really reignited my spark and passion for guitar in-general. To be more specific this channel/Austin has strengthened and encouraged my affinity for Gibson’s and I am very grateful for that’s my fiancé on the hand would not be if she had any idea what I’ve been up to since 2020 lol. I’m actually looking work with a buddy of mine, possibly starting this summer, to offer up a very similar RUclips channel of our own. I think the biggest difference will be however, while my buddy and will 100% be looking to “flip” guitars I am not going to get into as much detail as Austin/Trogly rather I want our channel to be inspired by and not a rip-off of or a copy of this channel. I’m sorry for such a long-winded reply. Ultimately I agree 100% that Austin’s presentation, level of knowledge and what he remembers are beyond impressive and someone like myself can only hope to aspire to be as good at this as he is at it. Be well!
@@RussBMCSGT hey Russ! I’m a huge fan of this channel as well. Huge Gibson fan. LOVE SG’s & les Pauls. Also dig a lot of the ES‘s. More of a fan of the 339 size. Also have a Billy Joe Armstrong ES 137. And es 235. I like Fenders “OK” but REALLY dig Gibsons. My thumbs up was for YOU. YOUR memory and attention to detail! It showed in your comment. I look forward to the debut of your channel… rock on!
@@igorshunch thank you! Greatly appreciated! I’ll certainly try and give you a heads up (I’m sure all of these comments will be archived and can be retrieved in a few months) once the channel is up and running. Thanks again, I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday and until we get a chance to chat again be well!
Whenever I play shows in Western New York (been 2-3 years now) I try to stop in House of Guitars. They always have unique and desirable Gibsons in stock, and a good selection of amps. As a modern metal player it's not really my bag, but I appreciate the history and cool instruments. I had no idea they had spot runs done. Great video!
I went to a HoG 25 years ago with my dad and left with a very special Gibson. The place was and may still be awesome!
House of Guitars is such an awesome store. So much history and memorabilia. And a massive record store as well.
I really wanted to see this thing under the blacklight :( Whatever happened to your blacklight testing of all your demos? That was the original thing that got me hooked on your channel.
I have a 93 Studio in Alpine white, and I thought that, if memory serves me, they called that neck shape a 50's D. I got mine in 95 I believe, at a pawn shop in basically new condition except whoever had it before me was very inexperienced and when they changed the strings they scratched up the headstock a great deal. Since then ive had tattoos on it, and eventually had it pinstriped, Im looking for a way to get the pinstriping off now considering the prices these things go for nowadays, it was my first Gibson though and I doubt if i ever get rid of it.
Love those pickups!
They sound great!
I see that same fretboard affect from luthiers who over roll the edges.
I go to the HOG with my dad every couple weeks. I live like 15 minutes away. At least half of my guitars have come from there, it's great.
I bought # 13 . They originally came with a gig bag not the hardshell case. Also had the signed LP pic. Only $1500 when they sold them in 94.
It has a great rock and or roll sound. Good stuff.
RIP House of Guitars

".. So, let's go ahead and throw this on the -autopsy table- workbench.."
Awesome find, Trogly!
Remember the studio plus tops. They were beautiful.
Party time
Excellent
You made the podium again, well done. I’m please to award you a Bronze Medal for your efforts.
Sounds great!
Hi Austin, I watch your videos almost every day, I think this and the Johnny Winter guitar are the best sounding by far!! Also, your playing is getting a lot better!! Thank you very much making my morning coffee routine a little better!!
These Inlays make this thing Look so amazing
That Guitar looks amazing and sounds even better, love it
Loved 90s LPs. Missed opportunity to purchase a LP studio lite w ebony board on sale in Japan. It was USD800
I have not done any pickguards, nonetheless, I do have a CO2 laser cutter/engraver that could cut the shape and engrave the guard, However, I reached out to you a few weeks ago via an email cuz I wanted your logo so I could make and send you a gift to say thank you for the content lol but you never replied.
Man that thing is a rock machine! Sounds awesome great find.
I know someone that bought a les paul studio in the 90s and used it then and still uses it now. They're just great sounding well made guitars.
Growing up our American channels on cable were from New York and Detroit...so I would see House of Guitars commercials and dream of shopping there. The greatest commercials were always the very 80s claymation Christmas commercials
Very cool!
i will travell all the way too the USA Trogladites Too check out the Museum Cool pity the back plate was missing , Take Kare
I had a '91 Ebony fretboard LP Studio eons ago,,, phenomenal guitar...
The store that ate my brain!
I’m actually from Rochester and going to House Of Guitars is heartbreaking. They will have instruments basically stacked on top of each other. Tons of guitars but they treat them like shit.
Like in cases or?
Lol
@@stinkychickentitty nope! I was there years ago and they have a several strats leaning up on each other. They never dust or change strings on anything so it just feels like they don’t care anymore.
Agreed & same experience few times I was there. Also treat customers like shit & get annoyed if you ask to check one of the guitars piled in the locked glass cabinets.
@@jesselet5073 oh wow that's ridiculous!
It's great to have a large inventory and everything but you've gotta display and store guitars properly. That's just stupidity 🙄
I've had great experiences at HOG. One salesman even spent an hour helping me pick out a delay pedal. Every time I'm in Rochester I go there, they sure beat Guitar Center
LIke the Crazy Eddie TV commercials around the New York City area, House of Guitars used to have some wild and over the top commercials. I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and we got one TV station from Rochester NY on cable, and I would always drool at all the guitars, and the love the wild commercials though the 70s and the 80s. Really should get down to the place some day, but I don't have any reason to go to Rochester, NY. Look up their commercials on RUclips, there are a bunch of them. Very silly and entertaining!
That is sweet something about the Studio model always makes me smile. Epiphone Studios are literally the cheapest entry point. This guitar really needed fingerboard binding however.
I would switch the bridge to something closer to a Slash Zebra but wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it on that exact guitar. The reason I love the Studio model. They aren't precious.
As far as pickguards go.. I'd probably look for "Boburst" or somebody like him.
You really should get a Bob built guitar.
I wish the Crown was done as a truss rod cover as well.
Great Sounding Guitars !
Looks good. I like it. Still rare collectible regardless but I think having the Les pictures and signature that originally came with it would look good together in your future museum.
Love the HOG, got a few guitars repaired there and they were stellar
WD Music does custom pick guards, but are 3-4 weeks behind
HOG commercials are burned into the memories of every Gen X person from the Rochester area (Dansville, NY for me)... "the great GREAT House of Guitars..." and "hop...hop..." Easter bunny ad... also remember being amused as a kid (because it just sounded funny at the time and I had no idea what it meant) when, in one commercial, they kept advertising a new album "Who Who Are You ?" (at 8 or 9 years old, not realizing that was the band AND album name)... good times...
I remember those! I grew up in Syracuse and the ads would pop up on MTV once in a while
@@allisonholmesmusic97 Yes ! That's a great point - a lot of their weirdest commercials were right around the time that MTV hit the scene... haha... They were a sonic & visual assault with 1970s production "quality" that were quite a contrast to the new era that MTV was starting. Some of the old ads are actually on YT if you want a hit of nostalgia :)
Very cool guitar
I bought a new ebony SG Standard last year after years of wanting, if now I wanted a Les Paul the Studio would be the one, the binding isn’t an issue and it could be the perfect Gibson.
Buy a used one. I have a 2005 desert burst studio premium plus . I got for a grand .i got all the way and went back and bought it
Beautiful instrument. I love Black guitars.
Oah yeah 🍪 🍪 🍪
There's nothing better than black and gold
That one is a keeper. I am impressed with the condition.
I absolutely love the 498t.
Knowing the TrogMeister, he probably will. not. rest. until he finds the HOG 30th anniversary studio WITH the signed Les Paul back cover plate!… or at least a re-placement signed Les Paul back cover plate to go with this bad boy!!! I love Les Paul studios. Real BANG for your Les Paul dollar.
I was just there last Sat and grew up taking road trips to HOG. What a place. Rock N Roll
I’d love to know where you find all these fine rare Gibson’s. It’s quite extraordinary!
While removing celluloid pickguards may seem like a good idea, the problem is that once removed and not held in position by the screws, they will shrink. So I would suggest that if you DO remove one, screw it down to a piece of wood to help keep it from shrinking.
Really nice find congrats, I hope I get to go to your 🎸museum some day.😎
Ahhh, a dope guitar from my hometown go to guitar shop!!! That's awesome, would love to know how it made it to Japan, but they are a world renowned shop.
I think that the best studios are the 2018 ones.
They got better colors (vintage sunburst and smokehouse burst), binding on the neck, hard shell case (made in Canada), 57 classic & 57 classic plus pickups (both are p.a.f).
That is a definite keeper unique and cool and it sounds great to boot !
Real celluloid shrinks and warps. Put that in mind when storing it, chip boards and screws work great.
Damn I lived in Rochester and never knew this...now I need to go back
Can you steam the fretboard back into place? I am sure they didn’t use hide glue on a Studio even back then right? Perhaps you can confirm whether you’ve heard this or have any feedback on this but I read that genuine hide glue used on today’s Custom Shop models as well as the 50’s models they’re much easier to repair by simply steaming the neck off? The maple tops they use an epoxy however so you cannot steam a maple top off but from what I’ve read you can steam the hide glued neck off for repair reasons. Any insight on that?
Are current studios thinner as well or were those just on that era?
Been going to the HOG for the last 30 years. I've bought at least 5 guitars and countless other things. It's a different place for sure but always a fun road trip.
What a cool find
Where’s RONDO BONDO & HK?
Late to the party
I'm here
🍪 🍪 🍪
Is it spelled Walmart or Wallmart? xddd
@@derpi6250 I actually spell it differently as the actual store spelling is with one L I do not endorse Wal-Mart in any way shape or form . I support This channel the Troggly SHOW . and of course all of us that enjoy this SHOW. The reason I came up with Wallmart . the show came on wen I was driving to work one day and I was using speek n spell . I actually said wazzzup and it spelled out wallmart lol and I have ben doing it ever sice ... Thank you and God bless..😁
You're getting really good at working that fretboard, man!
Id recommend practising fingerpicking, i inherently got better at picking and strumming by fingerpicking for a while. Starting to become a real treat watching you demo them badboys now. Keep rocking!!
I just went to House of Guitars a week ago! Definitely worth the trip!
Wait, Dude! The Beatles used a Super Beatles 7 Foot Tall Amplifier, The Super Beatle and Beatle Amplifiers - The VOX Introduced in 1966, the Thomas Organ produced Super Beatle replaced the JMI AC-100 Super DeLuxe in the US and Canadian markets. The Super Beatle
having disabled hands i ned thin necks,,shergold,fenders,,but ive ended up with a 1993 studio,cherry,,ebony frets and gold hardware,,and i find it odd but i like it,happy with it :-) im converted to at least thinking they are still very playable,,the action is ace ect..came in one of them same cases too. i think i got a bargain
Damn that's a hot studio!!!🔥
Nice find brother
You should have a go at making a replacement pickguard yourself. All you need is some pearloid plastic, a coping saw and a Dremel for bevelling the edges. If you purchase the pearloid material, you could probably just get it laser cut locally. I'd do it for you but I live far, far away.
Cool inlays on Ebony
Rare & Sweet. Good deal!!!
90's studio's were the best ever. I had 2 of them.
