Our theory is that this guitar was broken lengthwise down the middle of the body and repaired with an off-center body joint, causing a slight angle - a slight “V” shape - to the necks. The following presents a possible theory about the history of this guitar. The first known use of this guitar is 23 Aug. 1967 at Atwood Stadium in Flint, Michigan. The Who had just come off a two-day break a week earlier in Nashville, so it’s possible he picked it up during that time (along with new Sunn amplifiers).
They were in Los Angeles recording for The Who Sell Out. Typically, Pete and John bought gear when in either Los Angeles (Fred Walecki’s Westwood Music?) or at Manny’s in New York.
