I apologize in advance, this might be a dull topic only guitar maniacs might be interested in.
I noticed that the Gibson Les Paul that Meat plays in the
Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries video is missing a machine head and therefore has only five strings. There are several pictures of that guitar (e.g. on the back cover of the U.S. version of the
Blind Before I Stop LP and on one of the
Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries shape discs) in which the machine head / string is missing, too.
Rock 'n' roll mercenaries with broken equipment?
Didn't anybody notice / care or is there a reason for it?
(Sorry, I don't have anything better to worry about at the moment.
