Authentic replica of the Fender Broadcaster from the Custom Shop, including case and certificate
With the
Fender Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde
electric guitar, the
Fender Custom Shop
brings the original Broadcaster back to life with authentic details, whose name had to be changed to "Telecaster" shortly after its launch in 1950 due to a legal injunction. Following the historical guidelines, the Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic features a
nitro-lacquered offset seam ash body
and a
bolt-on rift-sawn maple neck
in the powerful
"'50 Broadcaster U" profile
.
Two hand-wound '50 - '51 Broadcaster single-coil pickups
and historically correct
blender circuitry
, hand-wound at the Fender Custom Shop, deliver authentic vintage sounds with crisp twang in the attack and assertive highs. A
classic string-thru bridge
and vintage-style tuners complete the Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic. In addition to a
high quality guitar case
and a
certificate of authenticity
, a
wiring kit
for the modern and well-known
"Fat '50s" circuitry
is included with the Fender Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde.
From Broadcaster to Telecaster
After the successful market launch of the
Esquire
equipped with one pickup in the spring of 1950,
Leo Fender
released his first electric guitar with
two pickups
and a
truss rod
for adjusting the neck under the name
"Broadcaster"
in the fall of the same year. A few months after the successful sales launch of the 2-pickup model, however,
Gretsch
initiated legal action against Fender's Broadcaster, as the company already held the
"BroadKaster"
trademark for drums. Until the new name was given, the already printed headstock decals were pragmatically shortened by the "Broadcaster" lettering, thus establishing the legendary
"Nocaster"
era. In the summer of 1951, the name
"Telecaster"
was finally chosen for the new electric guitar, which since then has established itself as one of the most legendary and established names in the guitar world.
Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic, an authentic recreation
When creating the Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic, the Luthiers of the Fender Custom Shop naturally reflect on their own history, thus equipping this electric guitar with an
ash body
whose halves are glued with
staggered seams
, just like the vintage original. The
bolt-on one-piece rift-sawn maple neck
with its sturdy
"'50 Broadcaster U" neck profile
and
compound radius from 7.25" to 9.5"
offers a comfortable vintage feeling for the classic styles of country, blues and rock. The artificially aged flash coat
nitrocellulose finish
not only offers the look and feel of a long and hard playing original, but also supports the lively sound of the electric guitar.
Authentic vintage sound using the Blender circuitry
The sonic conversion of the Fender Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde is handled by
two Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50 - '51 Blackguard single coils
. Hand wound by the vintage specialists at Fender Custom Shop, these pickups deliver an absolutely authentic vintage tele sound that brings both clean and overdrive sounds to life with the signature twang and brilliant highs. The pickups are controlled using the original
Blender circuitry
. While position 1 of the
3-way
switch allows the player to precisely adjust the tonal relationship between bridge and neck PU using the blend control, positions 2 and 3 connect the neck pickup to the volume control or the volume control and a fixed tone cut. An alternative control plate with the familiar modern 3-way circuitry is also included in the package.
Historically correct hardware
Last but not least the Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Heavy Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde features historically accurate and reliable hardware. The traditional
3-saddle bridge
with string routing through the body and three brass "barrel" saddles contributes significantly to the crisp twang of the sound. The strings are guided over a
bone saddle
at the head plate before they are held by precise and tuning stable
Fender vintage-style tuners
.
