Actually it's a 12-er, and looks like those custom arabesque inlays seen on some F512's and 612's. They're kind-a blurry but look too big for simple dots that would imply F212 or 312. And pretty darn sure the sides aren't stained maple so not a 412.

Looks like the 612.

Woody, you don't want Townshend's F50R, lol.

They may "still got it" but that video is from June 30, 2014. (Click to watch on YouTube).

It's half off.

I bet it plays like butter though and sounds like a cannon...(Reverb description...)

 

[Guildedagain]

Been through a cannon.

Better it should play and sound like a guitar.

Yep…and while for many, 10-11 years doesn't mean all that much, for a lifelong rocker, the difference between being a 70 yr and 80 yr old man can take much more than any typical 10 yr toll. Last live vid I saw of theirs (from just a month ago), my initial reaction was that they should probably hang it up touring as The Who.

.....it's an F-612 - minus the checkerboard binding as per Pete's request. One of 10 F-612's left on the planet. The black pick guard suggests it's a 1971 model.

Wow, that is incredible. 10 F612s left, seriously?

Think they only built 18, not sure..

 

[Cougar]

Isn't @txbumper57 selling his? Or did he sell it already? Yeah, they are pretty much holy grail guitars.

 

[lonesome picker]

I bought TXbumper57's F-612.

I've been told only 18 were built. 6 each in 70, 71 & 72. Of the 10 survivors, 4 are with the original owners or families of same. Townsend is one of the original owners, along with Clapton and Denver's estate.

18 could be right, lp, but I wouldn’t be too sure that there are only 10 survivors. There’s also the guy from America who had one. We’ve also seen a few come and go here on LTG without provenances.

Anyway, yeah, definitely a “grail” guitar for those of us who especially adore 12-strings.

 

[lonesome picker]

Perhaps I should restate it as there are 10 KNOWN survivors. There very well could be a couple more hiding out there that no one knows about.

Don't know where that info comes from, but it's not correct!
