Listed Basses?

Was just having a think (as one does) about listed houses and it occurred to me that it would be great if there was such a thing for basses that prevents fools from doing horrible things to classic instruments (like spraypainting a 60's fender neon green, etc). Whilst musing I thought of two rules:

1) Custom basses may not be altered except by original luthiers
2) Basses created before 1975 may not be altered in any way


This is incidentally all tongue in cheek, I know there are little teensy things like, ooh, human rights to prevent this sort of thing, but what would your other rules be?

Bear in mind that 'listing' has different grades that works roughly like this:

Grade 1 - you can't muck about with any of it
Grade 2* - you can't muck about with any of it, unless you really, really have to
Grade 2 - you can't muck about with the outside (you can do what you want with the inside as a long as you ask nicely)

Nearly all listed buildings are Grade 2.

You can have your thread back and enjoy yourselves now.
