Instruments at hard rock cafe.

Are they all real and originals? I when to hrc in Biloxi and saw quite a few stingrays one interesting sr5 has the front strap held on by duct tape. But even more interesting. I saw a olp stingray I believe used by the bassist from Tom pettys band. The bridge had dublesided tape on it and a funky peice of foam stuck to it under the string. But what makes me doubt the authenticity of it is that the e string was resting on the pole peice. No room to spare.

Either it's a copy, someone messed with it, or that bassist didn't notice which is hard to believe.

They are the real instruments, but they're not maintained very well. Apparently, David Gilmour had to have a fair amount of work done to his black strat after he got it back from HRC.
