Here's me playing Gary Clauson's 1998 Townshend signature model in August 2011. Every time I know I'm going to be seeing him, he always brings it out. I always ask before I touch it, and I'm always careful with it 8)

Just like you, I suspect Mr Townshend will now be treating his "new" 1993 with a good deal more care than he did his other originals back in the day. It seems he's learned a very expensive lesson... :lol:

Nope, purchased from Pete Watson via Alan Rogan at well above the normal value of a 1993.

I'm feelin' for ya Collin..if it were me, I think I'd be having an extreme case of seller's remorse by now...I hope you're holding up under the weight man!
:lol:

Not at all - sharing the wealth! :D


Collin, this is altruism well above and beyond the call of duty. Now I'm looking forward to more wealth sharing at some point with the other 1993 :wink:
