Epiphone
One of the Who's most important instruments, this guitar belonged to both Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. Daltrey was the lead guitarist with the Detours, which would later become the Who, and Townshend joined the group as a rhythm guitarist. When Daltrey transitioned to lead singer (his job as a sheet-metal worker having cut up his hands), Townshend became the lead guitarist. Daltrey then sold this guitar to Townshend, who used it to write two of his earliest songs, "It Was You" and "Please Don't Send Me Home." Townshend later switched to Rickenbacker guitars. |
