“I wonder if they had an SG available for Pete to smash...” I thought he got over that. And these days he plays Stratocasters (interestingly enough, Eric Clapton Signature Strats).

Pete never smashed up good guitars. I never saw him smash up the Les Paul's he use to play.
I didn't know Kennedy Center honoured non US citizens. I'm a huge WHO fan, especially the original (Pete Townsend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon and John Entwhistle) members.

“Pete never smashed up good guitars. I never saw him smash up the Les Paul’s he use to play.”

Dunno about that, but he sure did smack up a lot of SG’s. Sure, they’re cheap as Gibsons go, but still not cheap.

But on that note, I only ever saw Kurt Cobain smash up Japanese Strats, never his Jaguar or Mustangs.
