whats that then...?? It could be legit, townshend loved the sound of hte P90 equipped SG's (and he broke so many of them) that he literally bought every one in the UK he could get his hands on when Gibson stopped producing the P90 versions, he loved this guitar. Trouble is this could also just be joe bloggs with a broken headstock - they were/are real easy to break - didnt greg have one to repair recently??

Elaborate story made up by Doug R. to flog a busted up guitar he glued together...a search on the LPF would reveal more of the story.Unfortunately the current seller bought it and is now stuck with a dead smelt. |

Re: Townshend SG
That stinks.
I've been lucky...my '67 SG is still whole.  Pete never found it.  BB
