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 Fred Gretsch Manufacturing Company, Inc. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\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 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\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9215003057\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R105897\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eMaster Builder:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle McMillin\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Blonde\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6lbs 14.3oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Ash\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Faded Nocaster Blonde\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Saddle '50 Broadcaster w\/Brass Saddles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Fat '50s\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e 70th Anniversary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 Broadcaster\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple w\/Walnut Skunk Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25\" to 9.5\" Compound Radius\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 Broadcaster \"U\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Single-Ply Black Phenolic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound 50-51 Blackguard Neck\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound 50-51 Blackguard Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Volume \u0026amp; Blend","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34547295027335,"sku":"9215003057-R105897","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-limited-70th-anniversary-broadcaster-relic-faded-nocaster-blonde-master-built-by-kyle-mcmillin-9215003057-r105897-28425622126727.jpg?v=1651047100","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-limited-70th-anniversary-broadcaster-1050259","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
