Description
Here’s Fender’s anniversary recreation of arguably the most important guitar ever made – the 1950 Broadcaster. This Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Broadcaster has a two-piece select ash body with off-centre seam, finished in the original “flash coat” Butterscotch lacquer that has been given the Heavy Relic treatment for that wonderful played in feel. The one-piece rift-sawn maple neck has a 1950 Broadcaster profile, 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound-radius fingerboard and 21 medium vintage frets. Other features include hand-wound ’50-’51 Blackguard pickups with ’51 modded “Nocaster” wiring (similar to the original, with blender pot and slightly brighter rhythm setting in the neck position). The guitar comes with a “case candy” kit containing a 70th anniversary neck plate, and original Broadcaster sales flyer reprint. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity with shop floor traveller. The guitar and case are in “as new” condition.
