haha, Glad I'm not alone there. I drive my girlfriend nuts doing that. I'll even grab the remote to stop a movie/tv show and rant about how they just "lost all credibility" for their flagrant abuse of historically misplaced props. Terrible, I know..

I do that as well. One glaring example in an older movie is the modern street sweeper that Robert Redford's character hitches a ride on the back of in "The Sting". It just jumps out at one. Really dumb mistake.

More great work there, Paul!
Hmm! Eurythmics VIP, shouldn’t he hold an even higher status than that?

Late to this thread, but that '59's neck was unbelievably gorgeous.

And... it is so nice to see guitars which have spent their lives as music making tools being restored so they now can be even better and more beautiful music making tools. So very very great. Reminds me of the great things you did to my 4003, the infamous BronzeGlo.

Wouldn't they get paint all over them? :)
