{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-70th-anniversary-1112557","title":"Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Broadcaster Journeyman Relic Nocaster Blonde","description":"Fender changed the music world forever in October 1950 with the first dual-pickup electric Spanish guitar—the Broadcaster. 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9235001121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R107415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Journeyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Tweed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7lbs 5.9oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Nocaster Blonde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Tele 51-54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 51 Modern Nocaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e 70th Anniversary Broadcaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage w\/Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Disk 50-55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 51 Nocaster Closet Classic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Tint Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple w\/Walnut Skunk Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e 50s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.575\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Narrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black .250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25\"-9.50\" Compound Radius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.630\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .925\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadcaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e 51 Nocaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound 50-51 Blackguard Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound 50-51 Blackguard Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e American Vintage Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Nocaster Chrome","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34686449320071,"sku":"9235001121-R107415","price":5600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-70th-anniversary-broadcaster-journeyman-relic-nocaster-blonde-9235001121-r107415-28610321678471.jpg?v=1650993427","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/en-ca\/products\/fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-70th-anniversary-1112557","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
