Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster, Blackguard Blonde

$1,999.00

Description

Though this limited run 70th Anniversary Fender Broadcaster isn't a Custom Shop build, we have to say it's darned close in quality, feel, tone, and overall vibe. Which is to say, this is a killer Tele...er, um...Broadcaster!! We're tempted to just leave it at - if you're looking for a really, really good T-style that embodies all that is great in a classic, vintage-styled T, this is your guitar. Twang, bite, chime, versatility, musicality, etc...it's all here. 

7 1/4" radius, 1-piece maple neck, ash body, Custom Shop '50-'51 hand-wound pickups? Check. No frills, no modernizations, no need. Leo got it right in 1950 with his Broadcaster design and this design has stood the test of time...just ask the legions of famous guitar slingers who've played a Tele throughout their careers (there are waaaaay too many to mention here). Priced with hardshell case.
