📚Description: Steve Howe's "The Les Paul" is one of the more popular guitars on my channel. I had sold this guitar a few years back but recently got it back. About a year ago, Steve's Webmaster reached out to me saying Steve saw that video and enjoyed it very much! I asked if Steve would be willing to tell his tale about this guitar and he was happy to oblige!
This is a phone interview I had with Steve Howe in March 2024. This is edited and pieced together to tell a congruent story and many of my lines had to be redubbed for clarity and because the audio was too hot.
It was a great chat! There might even be an opportunity to reunite him to play this guitar again in the future. The Pearl Buttons were not found, but the 4 pickups have been promised to me so hopefully we can recreate that guitar someday on the show!

Good Job Austin, this was really great, Thank You.
So interesting listening to Mr. Howe's stories, a huge thanks to him as well.
Turn of the Century! Going for the One! Ohhhh my *** I am a Yes freak and you made history today! He wasn’t in Yes for the 90125 “Toledo was just another pit stop along the Good Kin’s highway!”
Really good episode, thanx Trogly
Scoop of the year. Great interview.
Can I ask where did you get the metal fretboard cover that you used while polishing the frets? I build guitars snd have never seen those before. Looks like it would work great
I had to smile when Steve offered to dig up the old tuner knobs for you. What class!
Proper London lad, no b/s totally humble and authentic.
Yeah,i thought that was too cool,a class act for sure
He is a down to earth dude.
I am very impressed with this interview. You were prepared, didn't sound gobsmacked, and really got some great information all the way through. Very well done indeed.
Don't think I've ever been genuinely happy for a UA-camr until now. Congratulations!
What a cool guy. Wow he’s a treasure to listen to.
I Saw YES at Madison Square Garden during the "Going for the One" tour. '77-'78 ? Steve was a phenomenal Guitarist .. still is
I was there too! Great show!!
I saw them at the Spectrum doing the Yes in the round thing,with the rotating stage,great concert but acoustics at Spectrum kinda sucked
I got to see their final tour. Still phenomenal after 50 plus years of playing.
@@stevieg2755 was that Going for the One or Tormato tour? cause I saw them In the Round and can't remember and oh ! I still have the concert tee from that tour !! Talk about thread bare 🤣
he was on another level in the 70s. yessongs is my fav live album.
Steve Howe geeks out in a sublime interview. What a treat to listen to you two digging into the minutia of Steve's collecting, great stuff, more, please!
Not just super cool he would have such long, friendly, informative conversation but that he offered to go look for the original tuning buttons is amazing. What a great dude.
Congratulations on getting to talk to one of the greatest guitarists of the last century.
Agreed. Underrated for sure.
Steve Howe...one of THE absolute greatest guitarists.
In my opinion, he’s the GOAT!😎🎸
A huge thank you to Mr. Howe, so very interesting.
Sharing his stories was both gracious and appreciated.
I'd like to see Gibson do a similar run of Les Paul Customs.
Awesome Interview/Discussion with Steve.....Great history.....Congratulations!!!
Yes was the first concert I went to with my own money. A magical night with The Eagles as the opening act followed by The Edgar Winter Group and finally Yes to finish off the night. All for $5.00 and free parking. Wonderful to hear the story of Steve Howes guitar journey and the history of this guitar in particular. Thankyou Trogly.
Dillon Stadium by any chance? I saw that tour @ Dillon. Outdoors beautiful sunset happening my first l'il tab of acid shared between a couple buds. I remember about 40 mins in Eagles kick drum on Witchy Woman was bangin' like evil Indians on the rampage! LOL - By Edgars set his l'il blond pin head was leaving traces all over the stage the way he'd hop around - (acid realliy kickin in) and tho we knew Bruford wasn't going to tour the Close To LP and Andy was - still they were magical acid aside - Steve's Steel on end of And You And I in quad (or orange barrel) sound was epic. A great night. 🎸
Yep, those were the days! So much bang for the buck. My first concert was 38 Special, Cheap Trick and Kiss in '77. I still have the Kiss tourbook. 😊
5 bucks doesnt buy you a beer these days
Wow that is one crazy lineup there,Edgar back them was a consummate showman and virtuoso
@@traviesoarcefan3063 i saw Styx ,Mountain(who were a no show)then Kiss in like 76
Holy Sh**!!!! This video / interview is EPIC!!!!! Thank you!
That would be just amazing if Steve found the original tuner buttons and sent them to you! Great interview Trogly!
Incredible episode, definitely try and do more interviews like this if you can!
Huge Steve Howe fan, lovely guy and amazing player. Didnt plan to watch this whole video but it flew by, great video and interview man.
He’s just the absolutely the best! My favorite guitarist!😎🎸
Same here. I didn't think I'd stay interested for almost forty minutes, but it's so well done it flies by.
What a treat! Great interview and Steve had some great stories. He sounds like a really sweet guy
search "steve howe kick in the head" to see how nice and sweet old Steve is
I was only 9 years old back in '79 when my older brother and sister could see Yes live. They couldn't take me because I was too young and I remember crying lol. Fast forward to the '91 Reunion tour, I saw them
live and what a treat that I would never forget. Steve Howe was and still is a fantastic guitarist
and what a cool interview with him. He seems to have so much class as a person. I'm sure you were ecstatic about how well the interview went.
Too young? There was no "too young" about it keeping my 9 year old ass from seeing KISS in 1979, no way.
Austin, getting The Les Paul serial # 26 that Steve Howe had is amazing by itself, but getting Steve Howe on your channel is unbelievable! The exchange between you and Steve around the fine tuners was very interesting. The secret Steve Howe signature on the back of the headstock really clinched the authenticity for me. Also to hear that Steve shipped a guitar to Alison Krause's son was again a special moment. I had never heard of a quad pickup Les Paul until today! Steve didn't like it, but still has them and would sell them! He seemed to say that the Les Paul Jr was all you need. Simplicity just like a telecaster. Thank you Austin for sharing! Right on!
I got the Impression that Steve Howe knew Les Paul fairly well. and not just passing acquaintances. after all a lot of Rock and Roll musician's had Interactions with Les Paul.
the quad les paul is on the cover to his first solo album beginnings. I was obsessed with that guitar for years after seeing that cover
This is awesome! Well done Trogly! So informative.
Great interview.
As a long time proghead, I am jealous of you having a conversation with one of the OG prog guitarists. Very cool that he took some time to give you an interview. Maybe we should call it Progly's Guitar Show today!
Wow! How did you pull that off? Great interview.
iirc it turns out Steve watches Trogly and Steve contacted him about his old guitar. The interview arose from that contact I think!
I saw Yes in the mid 70s for the Yessongs Tour, the stage was layer out like a garden with a big ladybug in the center. The ladybugs wings opened and the drums were there. It was a fantastic concert, one of the best concerts I ever saw! That includes seeing Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad, and the like. Steve Howe was incredible, his interactions with the crowd was amazing!
They also had the round spinning stage around that time,in quadrophonic if my memory serves me
I know Tormato gets a bad rap but I love the record and have been listening to it since it was released. Steve's an incredible artist.
This was great Austin, Thanks Steve for the awesome stories
My Dad bought me a Gibson Grabber bass straight out of the factory. Now I wonder how he pulled that off. We were from Kalamazoo and he was a country musician. Played everything. He musta' had some pull somewhere.
Steve once said in an interview that he loved Charlie Christian because his playing was always “happy” and upbeat. For me that’s how I feel when I listen to Steve’s playing. I think I’m in a minority of people who absolutely love the “Drama” album, Steve’s playing on that always puts a smile on my face. Also love “The Steve Howe Album” and his playing with Asia.
A brilliant episode Trog. Really liked how you edited the shots from the book as they came up during the conversation. This was a fascinating listen. Loved hearing Steve’s guitar (Wondrous) stories.
Very classy interview both you and him. I like the way you let him speak and didn't say more than you needed to. Shows maturity and emotional intelligence on your part... well done! Steve is a proper old-school Londoner, says what he means and means what he says... no b/s. Great job BRAVO
Amazing video! Such an amazing player and what a gracious and outgoing personality. Happy you were able to chat with him!
Steve is one of the greats in rock history and he’s mostly overlooked when they mention the greats,this dude blazes,I’ve listened to Yes all those years ago,Asia,and pother works of his,his personality is on another level and his knowledge of actually knowing of what was done to the guitars and who did it ,whether it was him or someone close to him,great interview.
Trogs! This has to be my number one episode of your guitar show!!!incredible. Have loved Steve Howe since the early 70’s. Fantastic segment and so satisfying to hear all this from the Legend, himself! Hats off Trogly and thank you, MR. HOWE!!!
Please, more segments like this one. Five stars!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
How awesome that you got to speak to and interview one of the very finest guitarists to ever walk the planet! He's such a nice guy. I've met him a couple times and he has always been super cool! This interview also reminded me that I've got a set of his guitar strings. His guitar tech gave them to me after he swapped them out during a load in for an Asia show back in 2019. I cherish them!
I agree wholeheartedly! I got Steve’s autograph twice after shows & he is a really nice guy! The second time I met him, I was so overwhelmed that I forgot to ask for a photo with him. (This was before cell phones had cameras.) Yep, had my camera right in my pocket & totally forgot about it. I was so effin nervous to be in the presence of my favorite guitarist of all time. Thank goodness I have the memories of that night & a CD cover with the entire band’s autographs! It’s one of my prized possessions.😎✌️
I've had a very small handful of interactions with Steve Howe, dating back to around '74 or '75, and the latest being just a couple of years ago. All around I have to say that Steve was a very friendly and decent chap. I'm so happy for you Austin and thank you for presenting this chat for we viewers.
The best interview of an incredible guitarist. Saw Steve with Yes on the Close to the Edge Tour, then again with the Tales of the Topical Oceans, and finally once in 2020. I also saw him with two tours of ASIA. Just an awesome guitarist. Thanks for having him on your show and you did an awesome job.
Topographic oceans
Very good Austin. Excellent interview with the great Steve Howe. When he was talking towards the end about classical guitars, I’m surprised he didn’t mention his contribution to Queen’s Innuendo. Yep he played the marvellous Spanish guitar part on that song too. Also glad he mentioned one of my favourite Yes songs Turn of the Century 😉😉
Great job editing this. Always pulling up relevant images or videos of the guitars while he talks about it is top tier effort
Great interview. It was good that Steve was allowed to speak without interruption and that that he was so open and remembered so much detail about so many individual instruments and developed on the questions. He still sounds pretty enthusiastic about guitars generally despite them being the 'tools of his trade' for a long time. I do associate him primarily with the ES 175 so it was cool to see and hear about the other types he has owned and used.
Loved that interview
Your questions were very well thought out. Good job!
Thanks for sharing.
I love how Steve really blooms talking about guitars... this conversation is wonderful .. I can hear him smile!
Great interview and fantastic b roll as the video progresses!
sounded like you both had fun. thanks to each of you for sharing !
definitely was not expecting this. this was an amazing interview.
Excellent interview. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to once again educate and entertain us Steve!
Thank you for sharing. Fantastic interview and stories.
Wow!! This is definitely historic to hear Steve's thoughts and insight to guitars and his take on his personal guitars..this is an awesome conversation..thanks for sharing 👏
That was a fantastic interview. Thank you
Probably the best interview I have ever heard. Thanks!
So great to hear it directly from the source! Thank you
Glad you two got together for this most informative discussion. Favorite solo. Perpetual Change, starting at 8:23 from the Yessongs Live album.
That’s a blazing solo! Yessongs has SO many killer tunes on it! My favorite is from Yours Is No Disgrace. That live version from Yessongs is just sick!😎✌️
This interview is pure gold! Great history and so much good stuff talked about!
Thank you Mr Howe for being so gracious!
THAT, was one of the best interviews of one of my favorite guitar players I ever experienced! Thank you Austin! Good Job!
Steve Howe is absolutely correct about each guitar having it's own personality. and for a musician to be able to play their full repituare of their music. it could require them to have a number of guitars to reproduce all those sounds. it's so AWESOME that he has such a wonderful strong British accent, especially after all these years. and high marks to Austin for asking all the most correct questions. no doubt this was a great conversation/interview. as always Trogly never fails to amaze me.
Salutations Austin!
Pretty great interview, you covered an awful lot of things during the interview and it was great information to learn.
It’s regrettable that he had lost a solo recording that had gotten erased, I know what that is like, and it also happens sometimes when creating digital art as well, and we refer to it in the digital art context as “the agony of delete”, it happens more frequently than many people realise, and often it is very difficult to replicate, I imagine that it bothers him quite a bit, it’s so very frustrating to loose something like that, which you feel is such a great representation of your work.
It’s so awesome that he still has the original tuning machines for The Les Paul, and also that he has the special set of four humbuckers from the quadraphonic Les Paul guitar, and also that he is willing to part with them, they would be super awesome to display next to The Les Paul.
It would be very interesting to see Gibson produce an actual authentic Steve Howe Signature 175 or even a Signature The Les Paul, with the current technology that they have been using on other signature models.
I really enjoyed this interview, and learning more about The Les Paul, now that you have refurbished it, it would be really grand if he paid you a visit and played the guitar again.
Thanks again for the interview!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
☀️✨🎸
This is great. What a cool guy to spend the time and be so open with you. Congrats!
So happy to hear Steve say that you can find unique music in different guitars...Every guitar I pick up takes me somewhere different... some just respond as if they were a body prt, others I have to fight a little bit, but each relatioship will bring different riffs or licks... the music really does come from them.
thanx for this, to be continued, hopefully...
I’m very excited for this episode because YES is my all time favorite band and I’m a huge Steve Howe fan. Steve is one of the best guitarist of all time. Thank you.
As one huge YES/Steve Howe fan to another, what is your favorite YES song? (That’s if you can actually pick one from the many masterpieces.)
@@susanw5594 too many to pick they are all great. But GOING FOR THE ONE/STARSHIP TROOPER/YOURS IS NO Disgrace. LONG DISTANCE RUNAROUND OMG I can go on.
What a class act for spending so much time explaining the history of the guitar during his time with it...and a great guitarist/musician too!
Wow, this guy is so nice, so down to earth, a total pleasure to have a nice conversation with him, great work Austin 👍
Bravo, great interviewing job!
Fantastic interview Austin !! 👌🏻💯
Awesome episode! Thank you for sharing!
Cheers 🍻
This was an absolute pleasure to listen to, and criminally, I have listened to very little of this mans work, cant imagine how good this was for a fan
If you wanna see what a genius he is listen to "the gates of delirium" from the album yesshows. It's like nothing you will have heard. A totally unique style that he somehow mastered just for one song. Its been blowing me away since i first heard it in 1988
This was a lot of fun. If you want to see Steve Howell in a really cool video look up Astrell traveler. It’s one of my favorite yes songs.
That was a really fun interview! Thx
In 1982 my college roommate had a ‘79 strat that he’d gotten Steve Howe to sign. I’d heard Yes but didn’t know who he was. But, because he signed a guitar, I started following his career and have been blown away ever since. What a great guy to just dive into the guitar’s history. Thanks for sharing this!
That was a great interview Mr. Trogly! I have seen some version of YES (including Cinema and Union)14times. Of course a couple were with Trevor Rabin. Steve Howe always plays with passion and never disappoints. It's amazing how much detail he remembered after owning so many guitars. Thanks!
Whata fantastic video, to hear Steve share and take such sweet time, this is gold that only happens with music greats and complete gentlemen. Good job Trog!!!!
Very cool interview! Hope there’s more down the road too!
Howe cool. Grew up listening to all the records he mentioned. Yes was my favorite band in the 70s. In my heart they still are.
YES has been my favorite band since I saw them way back in the 70’s! I saw them front row (right in front of Chris Squire) and was blown away that could perform their music live! All were amazing musicians! Since then I have seen them numerous times & they have never disappointed!😎💜🎼🎸✌️
I love these history videos! Amazing you got this call! Thanks again for sharing with the world!
Thank you mister for that interview! That was something great!
Grew up listening to Steve and my first live concert was a Yes concert in 1975. Talk about putting on a show! Music is and has been my life’s passion. Steve has contributed so much to my life and he has been loved since my older brother brought home the YES album.
Many thanks Steve for all of the joy! Happy to hear your voice and to know you are doing well. Also thanks for inspiring me to become a vegetarian. My thinking was, if it’s good enough for Steve, it must be alright. 🎉
Thanks Trogly. This was a real treat for me.👏
Well done. What a document. You covered multiple books of information with asking the RIGHT questions. You really surfaced where Mr Howe is all about with instruments. Now we only need to listen to the songs to know what he is spiritually about.
What stands out for midi guitarists is the part about roland and gibson midi guitars. Here is somebody who has toured his whole life and knows what works and what doesn't.
Excellent interview!😎✌️
Congratulations Trogly! great Interview!
This was amazing!!! I wish you could do this with all the artist guitars you have.
What a great interview! Steve is a good guy, and it's so nice to see someone just willing to talk shop!
I love this guitar, the color is great, The wood accessories are awesome, the gold hardware just WORKS with this color, I love the harmonica and TP6, the whole package is great.
I have never had a harmonica bridge, but I ALWAYS run a TP6, not only on LP's but any tunomatic I have owned.
Main reason is because I used to be an old Floyd/Kahler player (my 80's phase) so reaching for the fine tuners is "natural" to me. So when I got into LP's I went straight to the TP6.
Even my old 6 post Strat has a bridge with fine tuners (handy with the locking tuners)
Evening all, awesome interview!!!
Beautiful guitar. Great interview and history. Thanks for the work you do documenting these guitars for us enthusiasts. That fret polishing footage was awesome! I always just use 0000 steel wool on mine, but that rotary tool with polishing compound method looked brililiant.
Loved this interview! Steve is one of the all time greatest. 175 guitar’s and remembers all the little details as well as remembering all his songs. Amazing mind. Genius!
Going for the One !!! Don't kill the Whale, Tomato, that's my favorite era for Yes,
SIHT, and that's the guitar that was all over it, FM !!!
Trog, for me mate, this is the best thing you've had on your show...
Love the binding.
Steve always gives great interviews. Could listen to him all day.
In 1972, I had tickets to see Yes at the Shady Grove Music Fair. They were the warm-up act for Humble Pie. Shady Grove was a theater in the round venue, which wasn't the greatest for bands. As such, the stage setup was split in half. Humble Pie on one side and Yes on the other. Since it was what was called back then, Festival Seating (no assigned seats), the HP side of the venue was packed with people. On the Yes side, there was me and about 30 more people. So I was super excited because I couldn't have cared less about HP. As was typical for the time, the show was about 40 minutes behind schedule.
As the show was about to start, an announcement was made that some of the equipment for Yes hadn't arrived, so Yes wouldn't be performing. I'm 69 now, and I still feel the disappointment i felt back then because I wasn't able to see the group I considered the greatest set of musicians ever assembled.
And the general admission tickets were $6 each.
This is a dream interview. Wow!
This is awesome I have never heard him talking before. Been listening to his music since the 70's. Seen them in the yearly 80's
!! Absolutely amazing interview !! Thank you for posting this. And thank you to the Great Steve Howe for giving us all, the time for this interview. Absolutley fabulous!
Thank you and Steve Howe for a great Sunday morning here in the UK.
That was great, sounded like a conversation instead of an interview.
Wow! Thank you. That was one cool interview. Love Steve Howe
Great interview style, Trogly. It’s a good talent that gets people to not just talk, but to tell their stories as they remember them out loud. And one of my pet peeves is when the interviewer constantly interjects and interrupts with their own story. I don’t care about the person who’s asking the questions, I’m curious about the person being interviewed. None of those problems here, and when you did talk besides just asking questions, it was more of a conversation between two people who have a common interest, and your in-depth knowledge definitely helps. Good vid!
Wow - Great interview! Well done indeed.
Very informative. ❤
Amazing artist steve hackett the tokyo tape version of heat of the moment has me in tears !!
Epic. Thanks to Trogly and the great Steve Howe. Cheers Steve!!
Great interview! I hope you get those old machine heads and those 4 pickups, it would be great. Keep up the good work!
