Pete Townshend
The Gibson Pete Townshend SG Special, initially released in 2000 as a limited edition of just 250 instruments, pays tribute to the vintage SG Specials favoured by Pete Townshend from 1968 to 1971. Crafted in Gibson’s Custom Shop, the model closely replicates his cherry-red SG Special with P‑90 pickups, wraparound bridge and slim‑profile neck. A special 50th Anniversary edition in Alpine White followed in 2011, celebrating Pete’s use of Polaris White SGs in the early 1970s. Rich in history, these signature guitars capture the raw, punchy tone that defined the classic Who sound, making them highly sought after by collectors and players alike. At Rich Tone Music, we offer a selection of new, used, and pre-owned Gibson Pete Townshend SG guitars at competitive prices. Looking to sell?
