DescriptionThis Schecter Telecaster was custom-made for Pete Townshend to use on The Who’s 1982 “farewell tour”. It has an interesting “B-bender” bridge that raises the pitch of the B string when downward pressure is applied to the guitar’s strap. This allowed Pete to approximate pedal steel licks. Over twenty five years after the ’82 “farewell tour”, The Who are still at it.
