You know after all this back and forth about what kind of guitars the Beatles played fifty years ago I kind of miss the Numa/ Ventilator discussions...

Unless we hear it from the people themselves much net information can be wrong. Some info may never be settled truth-wise but at least talking about it online may give some future historian clues he/she would not otherwise have had, to come to the real way things went down. Example, a Beatles set list circulating on the net for some of their last gigs seems to be wrong as one such list on a specific date and location did not include a song I personally heard when I saw the Beatles in July 1966. Watching them play "And Your Bird Can Sing" live with only one guitar going would stick out in one's young mind. There are provisions however for revising the set list online.
The band(s) themselves have no interest in fixing internet errors about their history and Wikipedia can be filled with errors as well. Reason I say this in particular, And Your Bird was not released album wise at the time I saw them but it was listed as recorded (according to Wikipedia). If so, how did I know the song? Air play? Maybe. Is Wikipedia wrong? Maybe. Either way they played the song when I saw them. There is more than one version of AYBCS and in different keys with different guitar parts. One with a 12 string in fact.

interesting that we can pull this detail on the timeline of when someone used a particular instrument and how it was acquired.
