I just don't see the point of getting upset about these details...which we know can leave a little open to interpretation and opinion.
If errors are made due to carelessness or gross ignorance...that's another matter...but I think most folks are genuinely trying to get it right.
I'm glad you say this Spud, because I see it that way too. That type of video clip, or e.g. the Stones Gear book, or even fan authored books - often I catch some mistakes, often I do not, but almost always my first reaction and impulse is one of "Job well done, and thank you". And not "There are several mistakes in here".
What is the point of writing a book that describes even the most well-known and well-documented instruments with several fact errors and claiming it to be "the most comprehensive ever"?
LOL, so better no Stones books at all?Quote

I'd be interested to know how we - or some people - know that e.g. Micawber is a '53 as opposed to '54 Tele. Blackguard Teles were made until mid-54, and serial numbers, which were still on the bridgeplate, overlapped a lot in the period from 1950 to 1954 (even more so than in later periods). Body and neck dates as well as pot codes (unless replaced) would need to have been verified in order to come to any definitive conclusion...
