    My journey with Steve Howe's TLP came to an end today... I thought I would share this video and its story + additional stories that I made with it. I refilmed a "review + demo" style video as well that I will post in the future.

    I actually met Steve during the 2019 tour and he was a really nice guy. I got an album signed by him and got my poster signed as well. That man can play a guitar even at his older age, I remember him coming on stage with an acoustic and just the magic that it was. It's awesome you had a chance to own such an amazing piece of history.

      You’re so lucky, I’ve tried to get an album signed by artist who don’t
      have a 10th of his talent and they
      just blow you off that they are all that.
      When that happens I loose interest
      and don’t buy another thing by them.

    To me,.. that is the most fantastic guitar. Not because of the history but because of what it is. That is the epidemy of guitar craftmanship, artistic expression and passion simply as it sets there. Could never part with a piece of art of that caliber. Playing it would be a must and yes,.. showing it off would be a must. Again,.. not because of history or the fact it's a genuine Gibson Les Paul. Those things simply make it even more special. Beautiful Guitar. Just Wow!

    Your guitar museum is fantastic! I LOVED my tour. And especially getting to play Jimmy Page’s original 1275, and Alex Lifeson’s white version! (I preferred Jimmy’s, I must admit!), not forgetting Zappa’s original “Roxy” white-faced headstock SG! That was a dream come true for a Zappa fanatic like myself!
    And George Harrison’s rosewood Tele from the Apple rooftop gig was another highlight!
    But the killer was getting to play Macca’s original Höfner 500/1 bass! That was another dream come true! How you managed to persuade McCartney to part with such an iconic instrument is anyones guess, but well done!
    Ps. I case you were getting confused by my comment, I’m a time traveller folks, and just got back from Trogly’s guitar museum in the year 2052!
    Unfortunately the technology is only capable of taking one person at a time (that’s me, of course!), but once I get back from my next visit to Area 51 I’ll have enough parts to beef it up so someone else can come too!!
    It’s an expensive trip, so start saving up yer pennies, people!

    I know you're just being extra careful, but as a retired shipping driver, (20+years) I can tell you, when you people pack a cardboard box extra tight like that, it's easy to just chuck it in the corner of my truck, and keep packing stuff in up against it,(or using it as a big box to prop up other boxes because it's sturdy) then moving it back and forth a hundred times during my route, PACK SOMETHING THAT SPECIAL IN A WOODEN CRATE !!!! (a small coffin labeled "max's last ride" or something like that) guaranteed a safe ride after that. great video!!! keep up the hard work !

      He buys them, probably sets em up if they need it (though hes repeatedly said hes not a luthier and "doesnt know any" 🙄😒) and then sells them on his Reverb shop with probably something like a 20% resale.
      Basically a prime example of spending money to make money

    Such a beautiful piece of gear. Reminds me of when I sold my '82 Les Paul Custom (yes Norlin - yes HEAVY) Doesn't really compare to the Steve Howe, but I know the feeling of heartache when you have to part with a guitar that means something to you. Good luck,stay healthy. Keep making great videos!

      I lost an original 1982 HAMER double cut in red with an ebony neck and a Floyd Rose, in the pawn….and all for the sake of a measly £50! It makes me sick every time I’m reminded of it. Don’t do drugs, kids! They’re the ruination of a life!

    I always wanted to make an offer on this guitar - I already have one of his es175's, but the import duty alone to the UK would have been more than a custom shop r9 ! (probably more than 2 of 'em !!!) Honestly I think selling the shows/channels mascot might not be such a good idea though man - the place already feels different - kinda empty. Can you tell us what country it went to ?

  • @jaedengarcia8249

    I was thinking about getting a guitar and I was going to ask what you thought about making a huge comprehensive comparison of les paul custom v standard v modern v classic v studio v tribute v junior. Giving them ratings on sound quality and playability and such relative to eachother. Then you could go over prices for new and used and give the general value price for each as well as which model is the best overall value. Thought it would be really helpful to people new to this and wanting to buy and just good for that information to be out there from an expert like you.

He works alot, I know, but im going to keep asking what he thinks about making it because it would be a good info video he could make to highlight all the general differences of each model aswell as comparing and contrasting them.
