Welcome to my Web Site. This is my personal collection of Who memorabilia. Pictured on this site are a variety of stage played guitars, basses & drums. The poster pages show posters, handbills and programs spanning from 1964 to the present. The awards pages showcase some of the rarest and most desirable Gold Records, both for The Who and a variety of other artists. Although it's the music that really defines the artist, each piece of memorabilia represents a small fragment of time in their career. Whether it's the guitar that Pete played at the concert you were at, or the poster for the show, each piece of memorabilia is a tangible link to the past. Click on the links above to check out photos of the collection.

CHRISTIE'S SOUTH KENSINGTON

CHRISTIE'S SALE OF JUNE 12, 2012

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

This is a Schecter guitar owned and played by Pete Townshend onstage during the 1979 to 1982 period. Around the middle to the end of the 1979 tour Pete switched over to the Schecter guitars. Like the Les Pauls' he had numerous different ones configured for each of the songs in the set list. When I acquired the guitar it came with the guitar strap that Pete had last used with it in 1982. Serial No. S 8474

Ca. 1980, with single-bound black Schecter model. Click to view larger versions Schecter ads, ca. 1983, with likely the

same guitar as above (though with black round-button string tree),

exhibiting capo “residue.”
