Someone should also clean it up factually. The sequence "Steve Plays a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway. Known as the 'Junior' or 'Special' model," for instance, is immediately problematic. The Les Paul Junior and the Les Paul Special are (or, at least, were in the 50s and 60s) two distinct guitars: the former has one P-90 pickup and an unbound fretboard, while the latter has two P-90s and a bound fretboard. (There are some other distinctions I'm forgetting at the moment.) To suggest that the terms Junior and Special are interchangeable here is just wrong. From the picture above, it looks like Steve is playing a double-cutaway Junior; assuming it's not a very beat-up reissue, it's from 1959 or 1960. But someone who's familiar with both the Briefs' gear and such guitar minutiae should go over this. Blotzer 22:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
