Known for smashing guitars, the Who's Pete Townshend wont be smashing this one -- Gibsons beautiful Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series acoustic guitar.
Gibson's Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series guitar is a painstaking recreation of the 1960s acoustic he used to compose such classic hits as Pinball Wizard from the legendary 1969 rock opera Tommy, and the Who concert staple Wont Get Fooled Again. This new version which Townshend uses regularly on stage has many of the same features as his vintage J-200, but with several modern appointments.
Townshend said: "The guitar is perfect -- a labor of love. I would no more smash this than smash my own right hand" when the guitar was first introduced in 2004.
Features:
Gold Grover Rotomatic Kidney Tuners
Grovers original Rotomatic kidney tuners are an engineering marvel, with abundant style and performance exactly suited for the Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series. With a gear ratio of 14:1, the Rotomatics deliver precision tuning in a durable housing that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. All moving parts are cut for exact meshing, eliminating the possibility of slippage. A countersunk tension screw lets players regulate the tuning tension to any degree. A special lubricant inside the gear box provides smooth and accurate tuning stability.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Graduated Crown Inlays
The fingerboard of Gibson's Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series is constructed from the highest grade rosewood on earth, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. The Pete Townshend J-200's graduated crown inlays are made of genuine mother of pearl, and are inserted into the fingerboard using a process that eliminates gaps and doesnt require the use of fillers. The fingerboard also sports a rolled edge instead of the usual right angle where the fingerboard surface meets the neck, Gibson Acoustics rolled edges are slightly beveled for an extremely smooth and comfortable feel, enhancing the playability of the Pete Townshend J-200.
Tapered Dovetail Neck Joint
The dovetail neck joint is one of the oldestand bestways of securely joining the neck to the body of a guitar. It is also a complex and expensive neck joint to build, but the result is a tight, locking connection that supports the neck at the proper neck-pitch angle, allowing the body and neck to become one solid piece of resonating wood, with no metal to impede vibration. This process is done entirely by hand, requiring patience and skill.
Body Tonewoods (back, sides and top)
The top of the Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series is made from beautiful AAA-grade Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from AAA-grade Eastern curly maple, giving the Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series all the deep, rich tone, clarity and presence expected from a Gibson Super Jumbo. Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the most central procedures to Gibson's guitar-building process.
Bracing
Every acoustic guitar made by Gibson features hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing inside the body, a feature normally found only in limited run, hand-made guitars. By scalloping each brace by hand, the natural sound of the acoustic is focused more toward the center of the body, enhancing the instruments sound projection. The lightweight bracing pattern inside the Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series acoustic is the same pattern used in Gibson's first Super Jumbo in 1937. It is constructed to support and strengthen a very large surface, thus allowing the top more freedom of movement to vibrate and project sound. The placement of the braces inside the Pete Townshend J-200 also creates powerful, deep lows with full frequency range, producing the incredibly balanced, huge sound Gibsons Super Jumbos are so noted for.
Pickguard
The tortoise pickguard for the Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series is modeled after the Super Jumbo pickguards of the 1960s, featuring a traditional hand-engraved floral and vine design with orange dots. As with all of Gibson Acoustics pickguards, the coloring, inlay, and binding are all done by hand.
Radius Top
The top of many flat-top guitars are under a lot of stress from the pull of the strings, which can eventually compromise the top. So, while most acoustic guitars are true flat-top guitars, all of the acoustics produced by Gibson in Bozeman, Montana have a radiused, or tuned top. Instead of being perfectly flat, a radiused or tuned top is raised slightly, and a special instrument is used to shape the top braces to the radius of the top. This process adds tension and strengthens the top, creating a less stressful joint where the top meets the sides and reducing the stresses of string pull. It also results in a speaker cone effect that maximizes sound projection, adding a significant boost to mid-range levels for a more balanced acoustic tone.
L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System
Gibson Acoustics Pete Townshend J-200 Signature Artist Series comes equipped with the popular Element Active Acoustic Pickup System from L.R. Baggs, which features a low-profile undersaddle elementor transducerthats proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Combined with an onboard preamp with an unobtrusive and removable volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element delivers performance not previously attainable from an undersaddle pickup. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar, and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. The Element works with a standard 9V battery, which is housed inside the guitar in L.R. Baggs new "Battery Bagg".

Protégez votre investissement avec la Garantie de fiabilité Long & McQuade.
Une bonne garantie est souvent un facteur décisif au moment d’un achat. Étant donné qu’une réparation peut être très dispendieuse, les manufacturiers n’offrent en général qu’une protection limitée d’un an couvrant seulement les défauts de fabrication. Lors d’une acquisition aussi importante que celle d’un instrument de musique ou d’une pièce d’équipement, vous voudrez avoir l’assurance que votre achat sera protégé de façon adéquate.
C’est pourquoi Long & McQuade offre une année GRATUITE de sa Garantie de fiabilité sur la plupart de ses produits. Cette couverture, qui bonifie celle du fabricant, vous procurera la tranquillité d’esprit que vous recherchez.
En quoi la garantie Long & McQuade se distingue-t-elle de celles des autres fabricants?
- Fiabilité assurée : l’usure normale de certaines pièces est couverte. Le produit fonctionnera aussi bien qu’au premier jour pour toute la durée de la protection. Pour les instruments d’orchestre, nos techniciens et techniciennes évalueront la nécessité d’effectuer un nettoyage en profondeur, un remplacement de tampons ou un nettoyage à ultrasons. Ces services ne sont pas offerts systématiquement dans le cadre de la Garantie de fiabilité.
- Possibilité de remplacement : si votre produit est irréparable ou coûte trop cher à remettre en état, nous l’échangerons contre un modèle identique ou équivalent, sans frais supplémentaires. Si ce n’est pas possible, nous vous accorderons un remboursement complet.
- Politique anticitron : si votre article présente un problème récurrent, nous le remplacerons.
- Accessibilité : vous pouvez vous prévaloir de votre garantie dans n’importe quelle succursale Long & McQuade.
- Réglage de guitare : une mise au point gratuite est incluse à l’achat de toute guitare neuve ou d’occasion.
- Prêt de matériel : un produit de rechange peut être mis à votre disposition pendant la réparation de votre article.
- Survoltage couvert : l’appareil est garanti même s’il est endommagé par une surtension.
- Assurance-accessoires : tous les accessoires fournis avec le produit (pédale, étui, etc.) sont couverts.
- Usage commercial approuvé : l’équipement acheté pour une utilisation intensive bénéficie aussi de cette protection.
Long & McQuade se réserve le droit de limiter l’achat d’années additionnelles. Les produits d’occasion sont protégés par la Garantie de fiabilité pour une durée de trois mois. Certains articles (logiciels, cymbales, etc.) sont couverts uniquement par la garantie du fabricant. Les biens non durables (cordes, anches, baguettes, piles, tubes, etc.) sont exclus, tout comme les dommages accidentels, la détérioration esthétique et les problèmes causés par l’humidité ou la température. Les haut-parleurs endommagés par un usage excessif ne sont généralement pas couverts. Notre garantie ne compense pas la perte de jouissance. A partir de juin 2018, la garantie de performance n'est plus transférable. Valide seulement au Canada.
Achat d’années additionnelles de garantie
Certains fabricants offrent une garantie de plus d’un an, mais qui est en général limitée et moins avantageuse que la nôtre. Lorsque c’est le cas, la prolongation de notre protection vous sera tout de même profitable, du fait qu’elle est plus complète et pratique.

- Produits NEUFS : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf par année supplémentaire.
