New Pete Townshend Signature SG from Gibson
Gibson Pete Townshend Signature SG rocks
The Gibson Custom, Art, & Historic division now offers a limited edition Pete Townshend Signature SG guitar, a faithful replica of the guitar Townshend made famous at the historic "Live at Leeds" concert, February 14, 1970.
Gibson joined forces with Townshend to make a limited edition of 250 guitars, and each is a painstaking reproduction of the legendary musician’s Gibson SG.
{townshend.jpgrSays Pete Townshend, "This guitar is amazing. It looks, sounds, and feels exactly like the SG I used during 'Live at Leeds.'" The Who’s performance was perhaps one of the defining moments in rock and roll history. As a testament to that moment, Gibson proudly offers this fine guitar to guitarist and music fans worldwide.
Special features include a dark, vintage cherry finish, along with "aged" hardware for a truly vintage look. Each guitar is numbered (1 of 250, 2 of 250, etc.), and a copy of Townshend's signature is emblazoned on the headstock. In addition, Townshend has personally signed each Certificate of Authenticity.
The guitar also comes with two cases. First, a special Flight Case has been created and features "Pete Townshend" stenciled on its side, as well as travel stickers such as "The Who," and "Fragile." The Flight Case is "pre-tour tested" and comes complete with bumps and scratches. The other case is a deluxe Custom Shop SG Hardshell.
A portion of the sales will go to Townshend's Double O Charity, which benefits youth globally.
The Pete Townshend Signature SG will be available through authorized Gibson Custom, Art & Historic Dealers around the world, as well as at Townshend's ecommerce site www.eelpie.com.
