{"product_id":"fender-70th-anniversary-broadcaster-maple-fingerboard-blackguard-blonde","title":"Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster, Maple Fingerboard, Blackguard Blonde","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fender® 70th Anniversary Broadcaster 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel Name: 70th Anniversary Broadcaster®, Maple Fingerboard, Blackguard Blonde\u003cbr\u003eModel #: 0170270868\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Limited Edition\u003cbr\u003eCountry Of Origin: US\u003cbr\u003eColor: Blackguard Blonde\u003cbr\u003eBody: Ash\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster®\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: '50 Broadcaster® \"U\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFinger: board:1-Piece Maple\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFrets Size: Vintage Tall\u003cbr\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.630” (41.4 mm)\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Designed '50-'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003cbr\u003ePickup Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
