Thanks to Alan Jankowitz for pointing this out

The Gibson Custom, Art, & Historic division now offers a limited edition
Pete Townshend Signature SG guitar, a faithful replica of the guitar
Townshend made famous at the historic "Live at Leeds" concert, February 14,
1970.

Gibson joined forces with Townshend to make a limited edition of 250
guitars, and each is a painstaking reproduction of the legendary musician's
Gibson SG.

 Says Pete Townshend, "This guitar is amazing. It looks, sounds, and feels
exactly like the SG I used during 'Live at Leeds.'" The Who's performance
was perhaps one of the defining moments in rock and roll history. As a
testament to that moment, Gibson proudly offers this fine guitar to
guitarist and music fans worldwide.

Special features include a dark, vintage cherry finish, along with "aged"
hardware for a truly vintage look. Each guitar is numbered (1 of 250, 2 of
250, etc.), and a copy of Townshend's signature is emblazoned on the
headstock. In addition, Townshend has personally signed each Certificate of
Authenticity.

The guitar also comes with two cases. First, a special Flight Case has been
created and features "Pete Townshend" stenciled on its side, as well as
travel stickers such as "The Who," and "Fragile." The Flight Case is
"pre-tour tested" and comes complete with bumps and scratches. The other
case is a deluxe Custom Shop SG Hardshell.

A portion of the sales will go to Townshend's Double O Charity, which
benefits youth globally.

The Pete Townshend Signature SG will be available through authorized Gibson
Custom, Art & Historic Dealers around the world, as well as at Townshend's
ecommerce site www.eelpie.com.
