An Avalanche of Tone
In the late 1970s, Pete Townshend was rocking a Gibson '76 Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop. The original guitar is now displayed in London's Victoria & Albert Museum, but you can own a meticulous re-creation of Pete's beloved axe. The Gibson Les Paul Artist Series Pete Townshend Deluxe is built to Pete's precise specifications with mini humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, and a high-output DiMarzio Super Distortion in the middle. Sweetwater guitarists love this potent tone cocktail - and the feel of this guitar's rounded-profile mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Other unique features include a pancake body with walnut center stripe, a TekToid nut, and custom strap locks. The Gibson Les Paul Artist Series Pete Townshend Deluxe is a Limited Edition of only 150 guitars worldwide, so better grab yours while you can!
Super Distortion plus two mini humbuckers: a tonal tour de forceThe Super Distortion is one of DiMarzio's earliest guitar pickups, and it's designed to send your tube amp straight into overdrive, courtesy of its ultra-high output. Expect power and tone from this classic pickup - both single notes and chords are huge, meaty, and aggressive with fat lows, thick, boosted mids, and searing highs. Generally a bridge-position pickup, the Gibson Les Paul Artist Series Pete Townshend Deluxe deploys the Super in the middle position so you can inflict sonic carnage on a massive scale. Combine that with the sweet chime served up by this guitar's mini humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, and your have a tonal tour de force.
