Thanks for clarifying. It may be worth noting that the site guidelines suggest the alternate and should probably be changed. Specifically "Please make sure you are submitting the actual item, or the closest available item, used by the artist." should be "Please make sure you are submitting the actual item used by the artist." It would maybe push the use of the gear recommender tool and alternate options on the gear to be updated more than the artist pages.

Cheers!

Honest question about how this site views adding gear to artists that they did not directly use, but the items are replicas of those items. For example almost anything for the Jimi Hendrix page. Current production Fuzz Faces from Dunlop/MXR and the many branded series of products are being flagged as "completely incorrect" even though these are new production of models he supposedly used. I thought this site is meant to be a resource not simply, "if it isn't the exact model and year then it's not right". Seems counter productive to the listed "contributor guidelines". What the communities thought here?
