I've got a Gibson SG 'Classic' with p-90s in it (sorry I don't have a pic of it), but this thing absolutely NAILS the guitars sounds all through the "Who's Next" album.

Just imagine the opening chords of "Won't Get Fooled Again"...

Pete Townsend played a Gretsch for Who's Next, though.

The Live at Leeds sound would be your P90.
Same with the electric guitar on Jethro Tull's Aqualung or much of Leslie West's work.

To be honest, when I posted about the Who's Next tone, I had no clue what Townshend had actually used...nevertheless, this SG cops that tone in spades.
