WHO WANTS TO KNOW WHY THAT FINISH IS CALLED TV YELLOW

 

TV Yellow was developed in the 1950s to solve the problem of the colour white, under the glare of bright television lights, overpowering the black and white television cameras.... 

One contributor to the story of TV Yellow relates a visit he made to the filming of a medical show in the fifties. He recalled being surprised to see all the "Doctors" wearing yellow medical smocks. "TV Yellow" smocks I suppose? Gibson developed the colour  for Les Paul's frequent television appearances although it is believed he never played a TV Yellow guitar (at least not on television).

It's not a thread derail if it's informative, or about Gordon Duthie - I did not know about the TV Yellow thing, I did know about Multimedia Monster................

 

Now, who thinks they're gonna be on TV soon and needs an appropriate guitar?

 

I'm willing to swap for anything Fender-y - or money!!
