Free Shipping with Schecter Hard Case. This is a guitar that needs no introduction: the Schecter Pete Townshend Lake Placid Blue Telecaster. Originally introduced to Pete by his guitar tech Alan Rogan in '78, Pete used this model from '79 (Concert for Kampuchea) to '85 (Live Aid). The guitar was later put up for auction at Christys Auction House and sold for $32,000.
This Townshend Tele is in very good condition for its 30+ years of age. The body has a stunning surface finish that is as shiny as glass (see photos). As Pete himself has commented back in 1982: “These Schecter guitars are superbly made and easy to play and they sound glorious…....Don't be fooled by imitations of old guitars, these Schecters are unique!”
