Everything I know about colors, Dave, I know from you. Like that one time when you explained to me that TV Yellow is actually white ...  ;)

True! It's so the Junior that Les Paul didn't own would show up when he didn't play it on the TV show he never had.  :mrgreen:

One of the big books (Tom Wheeler's IIRC) mentions Les' show ran from 1953-59. You'll never find it on any old TV schedule. But Les remembers it.

Yup, that's Ford corporate blue.

My dad was a mechanic at various Ford dealerships when I was growing up. He hated Panteras. Major cooling issues and a bitch to work on.

Presently under construction in preparation for the imminent transfer of his collection to London (Curator - Ken Stewart), the Gibson Wing of the HORNUNG MUSEUM, in Bayswater, London, W2, resplendant with a "colour palette" to suit the Maestro, himself...



sorry Uwe, but I just could not resist...  ;D

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
