Pete Townshend's Extended Range Guitars

In this photo from a concert in Flint, Michigan, 23.8.1967, Pete is playing his custom EDS-1275. According to this article from Gibson "Townshend was using a black EDS-1275 6/12 to play 'Substitute' live. He even maimed that guitar – there are photos of Townshend in 1967 at London’s Saville Theatre with the 6/12 guitar, obviously rebuilt, as the necks are at splayed angles and a there’s clearly visible repair in the body between the necks."

In this photo, we can see Townshend with Fender Electric XII. Judging by the headphones, Pete might recorded...something with that guitar.
