Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster MN Blackguard Blonde - BLACKGUARD BLONDE ELECTRIC GUITAR

(This text is machine translated) In the fall of 1950, the world of guitar and popular music changed forever with the introduction of the Broadcaster, Fender's first solid body electric guitar with trussrod and two pickups. A few months later, a telegram from Gretsch, owner of the Broadcaster brand, blocked Fender's use of the name. For a short time, the word "Broadcaster" was simply cut out of the headstock decal - these guitars are known as "Nocaster". Subsequently, this revolutionary guitar was dubbed the Telecaster. The original Broadcaster models, of which only 250 are thought to have been produced, have become highly collectible. The Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster celebrates the extraordinary origins of one of Fender's most iconic models. Its features include an ash body with a Blackguard Blonde lacquer finish, black phenolic pickguard, thick "U" neck, custom designed '50 -'51 Blackguard pickups, special anniversary plaque, embroidered case and certificate of authenticity ( COA) custom.
