Tel shape electric guitar

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 a truss rod and two pickups. A few short months later, 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.

The FENDER 70th Anniversary Broadcaster (0170270868) solid body electric guitar celebrates the remarkable origins of one of Fender’s most iconic models. Features include an ash body with Blackguard Blonde lacquer finish, period-correct black phenolic pickguard, thick "U"-shaped neck, Custom Shop-designed '50-'51 Blackguard pickups, special anniversary neck plate, embroidered case and a custom COA. The controls are wired for standard Telecaster operation, while an optional original Broadcaster wiring kit, included in the case, can be installed to replicate the unique "blend" circuit used in original Broadcasters. Production of the 70th Anniversary Broadcaster will be limited to 2020 only.

J ai recu cette guitare dans les delays annoncait par star music c est carrément une folie vu mon salaire! Mais je suis super content je n aurais peut être jamais d autres d instruments dans cette gamme de prix.
La finition est magnifique, la couleur passe beaucoup mieux en vrai que sur photo, quand je l ai recu le dos du manche collé un peu mais plus maintenant et elle est devenu super agreable, l action est plus haute que sur ma jackson ou sur la strat de mes potes mais c est normal vu la taille des pontets vintage.
Je la trouve super facile a jouer et le bois du corps résonne énormement et c est son atout principale, elle sonne! Un gros kiffe une fois branché. J ai envoyé un mail a fender pour leur demander ou est ce qu elle avait été construite vu qu aucune provenance n est indiqué. Ils m'ont répondu dans l heure qu'elle est fabriqué en Californie a Corona.
Le flight case en tweed est assez cool et rajoute un effet quand on la sort. Je vie pas mal de moment difficile ces derniers temps et elle me permet d oublier tous ca. Elle m inspire beaucoup et je ne regrette rien. Merci fender et star music.
La question que vous devez vous poser c est : est ce que vous prenez une vintera, une american original ou celle ci!
A vous de voir, les instruments ca depends surtout du gout du musicien! Mais je vous la recommande.
