custom55 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Pete: http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/images/gtrs/PeteDouble.jpg http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/images/gibson_eds1275dneck.jpg http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/images/equipment/guitar/19670823_flintmichigan_gibsondneck.jpg Pete TownshendThe Who’s Pete Townshend also used a Gibson 1275 for a brief period, from approximately September to November 1967. Unlike Page’s, Pete’s 1275 was painted black. Several photos of Townshend playing this guitar exist, most with the necks not in straight parallel, but at an odd angle, although one photo with the necks straight in line doesexist. Some have theorized that Townshend smashed the guitar, which was broken lengthwise, repaired with an off-center body joint, and possibly refinished. This repair caused the necks to have a slight “V’ shape. According to whotabs.com, a fascinating and exhaustive source of information on the band’s equipment over the years, this guitar made its first appearance at the Anaheim Convention Center on September 8, 1967. It was the band’s second-to-last date on that tour after a four-day break, so Townshend may have bought it in California during that time. Or, it may have been purchased at Manny’s in New York City before the band went out to Los Angeles, where they were recording The Who Sell Out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy cds all the time still. Japan ships my stuff via DHL during Japan Post Lockdown. I am very lucky Pat. I have everything. My "Klerk Kant" Japan cd is rare. Love it. I can't even think of one out of print or non released albums. I think there are some though. I think there are still a lot of heavy metal and hard rock vinyl albums that I can't find on cd. Funny buddy, tonight I just listened to "HEAR N AID" on Japan cd. Very rare. IT'S EPIC!!!!! Even RUSH donated a live track on there.
