Celebrate the origins of one of the most iconic electric guitars in history with this Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster in Blackguard Blonde. Released in 2020 as a limited-edition tribute to Fender’s first solid body electric guitar, this model honors the original Broadcaster introduced in 1950 — before it evolved into the now-legendary Telecaster. With only around 250 original Broadcasters ever made, this anniversary reissue offers a rare opportunity to experience that same revolutionary tone and feel in a beautifully crafted, historically accurate instrument.

This used guitar is in excellent condition and features an ash body finished in vintage-style Blackguard Blonde lacquer, a one-piece maple neck with a thick 1950 "U" profile, and a 7.25" radius fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets. At the heart of its tone are Custom Shop-designed '50-'51 Blackguard pickups that deliver the punchy, dynamic sound that defined early electric guitar music. A traditional 3-saddle vintage bridge, period-correct black phenolic pickguard, and custom 70th Anniversary neck plate round out the details. Also included is a hardshell case, certificate of authenticity; available now at Haggerty’s Music.
