Upon further review, it occurred to me that I'm a little surprised by the interiors. I knew the school was based on a real building, but I had assumed that extended only to the outside (in much the same way that UF's World Wide Building looks, I would assume, nothing like the real one on the inside).

Also, being the sort of person I am, I find myself wishing the photographer had taken a closer look at the organ in the clubroom. I suspect from its appearance (single manual, lack of any obvious tabs or stops, no evident pedals) that it's actually a spinet piano, not a console organ at all, but I can't quite get a positive ID from it in the two shots it's visible in.

The guitars in that one shot are interesting; there's a lefty J-Bass like Mio's, naturally (though from the knobs, I suspect it's a Squier like mine), but none of the others is from the show. The white one with the tortie pickguard is a Stratoclone, as is the one with the "HTT in London" artwork; the one in between them looks like a Fender Duo-Sonic with Stratocaster knobs instead of the usual barrel-shaped kind, but I don't recognize the logo on the headstock, so it's probably also a locally-made clone of some kind. It's candy-apple red like Azusa's Mustang, and the Duo was a 3/4-scale student model like the Mustang too, so maybe it's the exhibit constructor's closest match (since a real FJ 'Stang is like a thousand dollars).

I wonder if the "HTT in London" Strat is an official product. The artwork looks pretty convincing (one doesn't usually see Azusa looking quite so forward, but hey, Japan).
