	This has got to be some sort of weird joke or Art Project, right?
	That's the only way I can think about it without my head exploding.
	
	For my "Exhibit A" I present what seems to be the meat of their
	discussion on the instrument's provenance:
	
	"How Can We Prove This Is The Holy Grail?
	It was when the Complete Recordings Box Set was released
	in 1990 that it really hit home.
	It is unquestionably a picture of our guitar."
	
	Bingo!
	
	And here I am thinking that establishing provenance might mean actually
	tracing a line of ownership back to Robert Johnson...silly me!
	
	It is a joke, right?
