Every brand named after every character in the tv series The Fall? Stella Gibson, Paul Spector, Tom Anderson,et al. 

I'm surprised no one's pointed this out yet - that's completely deliberate. The writer, Alan Cubitt, did it with every character in that series. He's a serious musician, having written music for several programmes, including his own.

I have to say when I was watching it and twigged to what he was doing and every character has a guitar name ( some after relatively obscure custom builders) it did start getting on my nerves a bit. I’d still watch another series though.

That's like the film Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Damme - he's called (ahem) Gibson Rickenbacker and there are other characters (I had to look these up) called Fender Tremolo, Marshall Strat, Pearl Prophet and Nady Simmons.  Ouch.

'Johnny Brook' stratalikes all over ebay and Amazon.

We're not daft, that's a totally fictitious brand name. Can't fool us 'cognoscenti'.
