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".

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.

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?
