Yes, on a recent movie about the Amazing Journey of the Who, I happen to notice Pete playing a really nice OM3 during a recording session in 2003. I thought it interesting to see this considering all the guitars Pete has played and many that never got played again ;-)

Pete has come a long way since the early days of the Who. He was perhaps my favorite guitar player when growing up in the '70s. I did a quick internet search and found this link showing him with his Collings guitars:

one of the great rhythm guitarists in rock history, and a songwriter of considerable weight. Who's Next is one of my top ten favorite albums of all time. Behind Blue Eyes is on the set list almost every time I play solo. Oh, and I play it on a Collings, too, and now have a hairstyle similar to Pete's. And I'm caucasian. There the similarities come to a screeching halt. tom

In a distant post I had mentioned the best 5 guitars I had ever played. One was a vastly overpriced ($15k vs $5K for similar woods etc)but stunning sounding guitar I played at Umanov's. This was that guitar.
