PETE TOWNSEND CHOSE HIS SG  DO TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE SG SPECIAL WHICH CHANGED OFTEN BETWEEN 1961 AND 1965. GIBSON NORMALLY PRODUCED INSTRUMENTS IN BATCHES OF 40 SO THIS GUITAR WAS PROBABLY BUILT IN THE SAME BATCH AS TOWNSEND'S.

THIS GUITAR IS BEAUTIFUL. NO REPAIRS. THE PICK GUARD IS SLIGHTLY CURLED NEAR THE BRIDGE. NO BUCKLE MARKS. NO BUCKLE MARKS. THERE ARE SOME VERY MINOR SURFACE MARKS FROM CLEANING BUT NOTHING LIKE A SCRATCH THROUGH THE FINISH. THERE ARE SOME VERY SMALL CHIPS ON THE BACK UPPER BOUT THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURE . THIS IS THE CLEANEST 1963 SG SPECIAL I'VE EVER SEEN.... THIS GUITAR IS THE MARRIAGE OF THE RIGHT TIME, THE RIGHT WOOD, THE RIGHT SPECS AND THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT GIBSON WHO MADE IT.  GIBSON REISSUED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY PETE TOWNSEND SG SPECIAL IN AN EFFORT TO RECREATE THESE SPECIFICATIONS.
