The instrument vaulted Fender into the mainstream of electric guitar, with gorgeous features and smart innovations including an ash body with a translucent blonde nitrocellulose finish, sturdy maple neck with rear-installed truss rod for solid stability (with a walnut \"skunk stripe\"), single-ply black phenolic pickguard, two loud-and-clear pickups and versatile wiring for three distinctive tone settings. Revolutionary as it was, however, the Broadcaster was short lived- produced only for a couple months until January 1951 because of an already-existing trademark on the name held by the Gretsch guitar company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, for 2020 alone, the Custom Shop has resurrected this famously rare guitar in honor of its 70th anniversary. The Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Broadcaster has a two-piece select ash body with off-center seam, available in four different Custom Shop aging packages- NOS Time Capsule, Journeyman Relic®, Relic and Heavy Relic- all finished in the original \"flash coat\" lacquer. 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, Fat '50s control assembly and original Broadcaster sales flyer reprint. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries: Limited Edition\u003cbr\u003eColour: Aged Nocaster Blonde\u003cbr\u003eBody: 2-Piece Offset Seam Ash\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Relic® Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Tinted Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: '50 Broadcaster® \"U\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Maple\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" to 9.5\" Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFrets\/Size: 21 \/ Medium Vintage\u003cbr\u003eString Nut\/Width: Bone \/ 1.630\" (41.4 mm)\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003cbr\u003ePickups: SS Configuration\u003cbr\u003e• Bridge Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003e• Neck Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003eControls: Volume, Blend\u003cbr\u003ePickup Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
