The Who Pete Townshend Autographed Full-Size “Signature Edition” Guitar with Fanatics Hologram Spectacular full-size “Signature Edition” electric guitar personally autographed by legendary guitarist, songwriter, and founding member of The Who, Pete Townshend. This striking Les Paul-style guitar features a dramatic grayscale portrait of Townshend across the body, accented by chrome hardware, dual humbucker-style pickups, gold-tone control knobs, and pearl-style fretboard inlays.

An extraordinary centerpiece for any serious collection of The Who, Pete Townshend, classic rock, autographed music memorabilia, or decorative guitars. The guitar is offered as a collectible display piece; its electronics and playing condition have not been tested.
