Merry Christmas Austin. I've been watching all your videos since before 2014 (back then you even had some Gaming videos posted 😉), I just want to say Thank You for all the great content as well as some of the help and advice you've provided me through the years.
I would love to see somebody do a NGD for Ted Woodford's '50's LP JR restoration! The seller is asking a lot, but I and many others feel like it's far more valuable than a never touched example as the effort was monumental and expert in giving the Junior another shot at life. I'm sure the seller would take a reasonable offer as well. Ted's work on it is documented on his channel and is a must watch for anybody interested in guitars even slightly. If nothing else, maybe Ted will get an honorable mention in a future Trogly drop.
To me, his documented and lovingly restored LP jr would be worth more than one from the same year that sat in a closet for decades. Older guitars to me have value in the hands that worked on them, played them, and repaired them so to have that record is amazing. Obviously lots of folks would feel different :)
I just received my Christmas gift for myself. It is a brand new Gibson Les Paul Junior in dark walnut. It is a signature Charlie Starr back from Japan. I had to wait two weeks but did get it before Christmas, I am not disappointed.
Merry Christmas Eve Troglodytes Congrats Scott, a beautiful Les Paul Custom. Austin asked about the preference between Nickel or Gold Hardware, I'm of the opinion that a Les Paul Custom looks stunningly beautiful with either. Really Nice, enjoy your new guitar. Back in the late 1990s my Wife surprised me with a Les Paul Custom, all these years later I still grin with approval when I open the case to play it. I hope that is the same with you.
Merry Christa’s to younand your family Trogly, and to all our fellow Troglodytes. Play On! 🎸🎶🇨🇦 Thanks for another year of awesome content Austin. Thank you
I have modified a learner-level "LP" that looks just like that (with single-ply binding). It's my favourite colour-scheme after goldtop/P90s (yes, I have a modified/painted one of those too). Merry Christmas!!
Thanks Trogly! Great xmas eve show! And looking forward to the end of year wrap up- Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a fantabulous 2025!!
Oh man that 1972 SG and the P-90 equipped 225 semi hollow body ... two beautiful guitars! But I get it Trogly you gotta sell to buy somem more. Merry Christmas to all fellow Troglodytes! 🎄 🎅

Silver and gold, silver and gold! Merry Christmas everyone! Give me chrome/nickel on an ebony Custom for sure. Some Customs are ok with gold though, like my old Cherry Sunburst 1975, now long gone, it worked there. Ah well you sold the '72 SG, the new owner has something alright, nice catch!
😄 That 30th Anniversary Gold Top is a buyer who must know how to calm his wife down! Or will we see this in an Estate Sale? Best of luck Dude.... Every time I see Ol' Smokie or guitars that hevaily tarnished with nicotine stain I just start getting a headache presuming the odour it must have. I used to smoke 20+ years ago, but every time now, someone walks past me who is a heavy smoker, I get a little nauseous and start getting a headache.
Nickel hardware on a Custom is cool, but it looks a bit too plain imo and kind of cheapens the guitar. I think it worked amazingly well on the Moonless Night, though.
I love the nickel hardware. I wish more guitars came with silver as opposed to gold hardware. i don't know how you let some of these guitars go, especially that LP with the quilted top!
I paid $225 in '85 for an SG Deluxe with Bigsby, 2 scratchplates, embossed chrome humbuckers block inlays on rosewood board.. I would've offered $300 for yours even though it's a basic Standard..... did I miss out? 👀
Maaaaan, that custom is awesome with nickel hardware,I'm biased though as I find gold tacky on anything, always been a silver guy, that's an awesome guitar man, and if I was to over pay for a guitar it'd be that one lol...
It's one thing if you're doing something like what I've always done, turning loose of one guitar to make room for another. It's another thing altogether when you have to turn loose of half a dozen of them to make room for one I'm sorry that's what's happened to you this Christmas time, Trogly.
Merry Christmas - I hope you have a good one!

"old smokey" was the best looking guitar in this video 💯

I watched that video too. He really brought it back to life…

Merry Christmas to all! Hope everyone gets all the guitar presents! And this nickel hardware is fantastic. Love it.

Merry Christmas Trogly. Love your show! And yes I do have one second to appreciate a guitar with you.😂

Thanks man!
I much prefer nickel hardware on a Les Paul Custom. Gold flakes when it wears and just doesn’t look as good in my opinion.
Merry Christa’s to younand your family Trogly, and to all our fellow Troglodytes. Play On! 🎸🎶🇨🇦
Thanks for another year of awesome content Austin. Thank you
Merry Christmas Troglodytes!
Keep your axe 🎸skills sharp. ✌️
Merry Christmas Trogly! Looking forward to a new year of shows!
Absolutely chrome/nickel hardware over gold. That Custom looks fantastic!
Agree 100%. It ages more gracefully IMHO.
I've been saying it for 50 years. I woud like gold hardware if I was a pimp ... but since I am not, make t nickel or chrome - always
Nope, this is the only guitar that looks better with gold.
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays. I think the black with chrome gives off like Harley Davidson vibes.
Merry Christmas Austin, thanks for all the great videos and guitar information.
Merry Christmas Austin! 🎉
You too!
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone has a good one.
And if you don’t celebrate, I hope you have a good day!
Merry Christmas Trogly!
I’m absolutely loving that flamed special. She has likely found her forever home. Or at least till I’m dead.
NICKEL HARDWARE RULES!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!! GOLD IS UGLY Most of the time..... Merry Christmas dudes 🎄🎸🎶
Oh, i'm stirring alright!
❤merry Christmas my man sweet gift😮

Love it. I hate gold hardware. I have a 1976 LPC black and chrome.
Thank you Trogly, you are every year my christmas company! And Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas….LOVE the channel….and that chrome hardware looks amazing ❤
Merry Christmas Scott and Trogly, really dig the chrome custom!
Merry Christmas Trogly.
I just love seeing what new/ old and wonderful thing that comes through your channel and I always learn something new.
Man, as soon as I saw the Nickle hardware Les Paul, I was in LOVE. This guitar is beautiful!! Thank you for the video.
Nickel on a LP Custom is brilliant. Should be a standard option.
So the Gibson custom shop won't ship to Canada?
Merry Christmas to you and your brother
Oh man that 1972 SG and the P-90 equipped 225 semi hollow body ... two beautiful guitars! But I get it Trogly you gotta sell to buy somem more. Merry Christmas to all fellow Troglodytes! 🎄 🎅
awsome have a great christmas
Merry Christmas to one and all. Have a safe and happy holiday season!
nickel all the way. Looks awesome
Some very fitting stories here, I especially like that Ol' Smokey is inspiring someone to quit smoking
Merry Christmas Trog!!! Happy Holidays and a Joyful New Year to your subscribers!!
Gold hardware sucks, it wears too quick. Merry Christmas
Looks like the 2011 classic custom! Nice!! 😊
Put a nicotine patch on ' Old Smokey ' !
Oh yeah that black white custom is beautiful!
Def prefer chrome to gold. That guitar looks so classy. : )
Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania
The Carvin is sweet! Austin, you need to get and review a PRS private stock, and also maybe an ESP neck through something or other. Love your show.
NO! not Old Smokey !
That is a REAL museum piece.
As far as I’m aware not even the Murphy Lab can replicate it.
Gold hardware sux - Nickel all the way 🤙

Black Les Paul Customs with Nickel/Chrome hardware look great … 👍🏼😎👍🏼
Seasonal greetings Austin.
Thank you for all the content.
happy Christmas Trogs!

I never cared for gold hardware anything on guitars and didn’t know this Gibson Custom was available in nickel hardware. Looks perfect to me.
Have had two black lpc’s, both 70’s models, both nickel hardware. I think gold looks tawdry on one.
Merry Christmas Austin.
Dear Trogly, I'm shaken, not stirred. Merry Christmas Everyone!
Yes, the nickel hardware on the black custom works for me. I’ve always wanted one cos I can’t stand gold. That thing looks amazing!!!!!
8:20 Trogly the politician: ‘Love those P-90 pickups.’
😄 That 30th Anniversary Gold Top is a buyer who must know how to calm his wife down! Or will we see this in an Estate Sale? Best of luck Dude....

I'm from Canada, so they think I'm slow, eh?
That nickel Custom reminds me of Matt Heafy’s In Waves tour LP that was his main guitar from 2011-2012.
Merry Christmas, Austin!
Hey Austin, merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for a great year in reviews.❤❤❤
I swapped the nickel hardware from my blue LP Studio with the gold hardware from my white LP custom and I think they both look better now haha
I love all you do Trogly!!!
the SG was just lovely
I would consider that a “tuxedo” version without the gold. I like it
Merry Christmas Trogly been a fan since COVID !
Merry Christmas!
Christmas butter 🧈
Me likey ! Thanks Trogggggg!

It looks great!!!
Merry Christmas Y'all!
I was searching for a birthday guitar. Ended up buying a new Les Paul. Was stamped on my BEST FRIENDS birthday for gods sake.
I absolutely abhor gold hardware so that custom looks great.
I think that first LP'll be cool after it ages for a while, it's a little chrome-y for me right now
Nickel hardware looks great on a Custom.
Yea nickel on a custom looks cool and almost industrial.and hell I just love customs.
Maaaaan, that custom is awesome with nickel hardware,I'm biased though as I find gold tacky on anything, always been a silver guy, that's an awesome guitar man, and if I was to over pay for a guitar it'd be that one lol...
100% YEAH! Stunning gold is tacky.
Buying something to quit smoking almost never happens, saving the cash from the cigs usually builds the habit.
Bittersweet Christmas video Trog 😢
Shipping to Canada is crazy high.
Are you able to say how much?
Badass!
The definition of Black Beauty!
✌️
✌️✌️
Chrome and black looks gorgeous on cars and guitars
lol as a life long smoker i know you just don't quit willy nilly...it's way harder that anyone realizes!
Waffles🎅Waffles🎅Waffles
Merry Christmas Sir
yay
How about one gold. One chrome. 🏁
It's one thing if you're doing something like what I've always done, turning loose of one guitar to make room for another. It's another thing altogether when you have to turn loose of half a dozen of them to make room for one I'm sorry that's what's happened to you this Christmas time, Trogly.
Nickel or Chrome hardware everyday.
There is a review of that es-347?
Z is for late. Merry Christmas everyone. I like the nickel very much.
