Fender Broadcaster

  • December 03, 2011

Fender Broadcaster 60th Anniversary

[separator_dots]
[bquote]The 60th anniversary of the Fender Telecaster guitar has been celebrated by a unique and unprecedented release of some of their most collectable and historical instruments. This particular guitar is a reproduction of one of the most collectable guitars ever.[/bquote]

Probably only 200 were made before the Gretsch company sent a telegram asking Fender to change the name because Gretsch owned the name “Broadkaster.” This is the first time the guitar has been reproduced with the original logo since then.

The most collectable electric guitar ever?

The LTD Limited Broadcaster 2 Pickup model features a premium ash body with the Custom Shop Relic finish treatment, 1-piece maple neck, 25.5″ scale length, and a 21-fret maple fretboard.
