Sorry! Got side tracked when I noticed the F-512 inlay remarks and more or less overlooked your earlier question!
Yes, that's an F-612 that Pete is playing!

wow i had no idea! I love this info too. So he played this F612 on Who's Next....
Pete Townshend has used a Guild F-612XL 12-string guitar on most solo and Who recordings beginning with 1971’s Who’s Next. He purchased this guitar from Manny’s in New York. Prior to 1971, he had used a Harmony Sovereign H1270 12-string. He continues to use this guitar for stage performances today. (Pete may also own other Guild F-512 models.)
According to Guild Guitar Book, by Hans Moust:
The 18″-wide F-612 was only produced for a limited period and it was never featured in any of the regular catalogs. The guitar was introduced in the ’72 price list, but models from as early as 1970, some with very attractive Brazilian rosewood, are known to exist.
Pete currently has this guitar fitted with Fishman Acoustic Matrix pickup system.
Kind of lost 15 or so mins in that article while at work, found this nugget re a Gibson J200 be bought new from manny's in 1968 while working on tommy...
Pete used this guitar for writing and recording on virtually everything beginning in 1968 until 1989’s Iron Man. He brought the original Gibson J-200 with him everywhere until 1979...
"I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson"...
Pete Townshend said he wrote this after BBQing with Joe Walsh and his friend after doing a show in Cleveland. He was sitting in The Sheraton in Pittsburg.
