Pete's Guitar circa 1970

     Hi Folks ,
     
        This is my first posting to this list . I just started subscribing
     about one week ago . I've been a big fan since I started seriously
     listening to the band back in college ( late '70s ). Quadrophenia
     has always been my favorite album so it really blew me away when the
     band began playing it last year on tour . I saw them last Fall in
     Worcester Ma. It truly was THE BEST concert that I have ever seen !
     
        I'd like to post a question for a musician fan . Does any one know
     how Pete's Gibson SG was set up around the time of Live At Leeds ?
     What I mean is ; was Pete playing with standard humbuckers or custom ?
     Also what was he using for electronics for various effects.
     
        I just bought my first guitar , a Gibson Epiphone G-400 . A little
     late in life perhaps , but I want to move beyond just being a passive
     listener . Pete always looks like he's having so much fun ! I want to
     feel the power of the music . Even if I'm playing thru a 25 Watt amp 
     instead of a stack of Marshalls. The way I see it , better to have 
     tried even at this point in my life ( 3 months short of 40 ! ) , than
     to look back some day in the future with regret . My inspiration has
     and always been Pete Townsend .
