The Story

Used 1985 Broadcaster Electric Guitar Black

Here we have a well loved 1985 (approximately) G&L Broadcaster in a black finish. The Broadcaster was Leo Fenders first take on the classic Tele guitar with his new company, and was produced for a couple years before the guitar was renamed the ASAT. This guitar has a set of Rio Grande Muy Grande ASAT pickups installed, however the originals are included in the case. The guitar has its share of wear to it with finish wear and checking throughout. There are a few dings and dents with wear around the headstock edges. As far as fretwear, the first eight frets are flattening with some divots under the A and D strings. The guitar is a player, but still a ton of fun to get into.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Original Pickups
