My Martin GPCPA6k is featured in the movie A Perfect Chord (2015) . This is obviously product placement as there are scenes where you can read the soundhole label

screen cap

but later, the Martin owner character is hugging a Taylor guitar case with an I HEART Taylor sticker!

I scanned through the movie and saw 7 scenes where a readable closeup of the Martin label was done.

I got this for my wife, but I think I will be forced to watch it, with a box of Kleenex.

I can suspend my disbelief enough to buy that a guy in tights can spin webs from his hands, swing from buildings and fight super-powered bad guys with other like super-powered good guys......but barely 15 year-olds with Martins and Taylors??? Now you're asking too much!

"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

Here's David Carradine as Woody Guthrie, playing a lovely Mossman guitar. Guthrie was in hospital from 1956 till his death in 1967 and was not riding freight trains with his trusty Mossman which Stuart Mossman would not begin building until 1965.

These type of anachronisms seem to bother me, but my buddy says I'm too picky. Of course he'd have a cow if a character in a movie set in 1955 were driving a 1958 Edsel.
