Description2005 Gibson Pete Townshend Signature #1 '76 Les Paul Deluxe limited edition guitar, serial number PETE 058, in Wine Red finish. This guitar features a mahogany body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. In 2005, Gibson introduced four Pete Townshend signature guitar models, with this line being a re-creation of Pete's #1 1976 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe setup. There were 75 of the #1 model reissues created, with this guitar numbered as 58. The Gibson Custom Shop describes this guitar: "In the 1970s, Pete Townshend made the Les Paul Deluxe his weapon of choice for The Who's live shows. The new Townshend Signature Deluxe recreates all the quirky aspects of Pete's #1 Deluxe, including the pancake body, neck volute, and extra toggle switches to control the added middle pickup."
