Product Description
A perfect Broadcaster from one of the Fender Custom Shop's finest Masterbuilders! This is a 70th Anniversary Fender Custom Shop Broadcaster in relic Nocaster Blonde crafted by Todd Krause! Features are all vintage-accurate down to the wiring style and slot-head screws used throughout the guitar. It's even got a compound fretboard radius, a unique feature that's quite forward thinking for a 70 year old design! Whether he knew it or not, Leo Fender changed the world in 1950 with the introduction of the Fender Broadcaster: the companies first solidbody electric guitar with a truss rod and two pickups. Shortly thereafter, a telegram from Gretsch®, owner of the BroadKaster® trademark, ended Fender’s use of the name. For a short time, the word "Broadcaster" was simply clipped off the headstock decal - these guitars are known as "Nocaster®s." Thereafter, this revolutionary guitar was dubbed the Telecaster®. Original Broadcaster models, of which only 250 are thought to have been produced, have become highly collectible.
