1950 Fender Broadcaster – Blond
We are proud to present an all original 1950 Fender Broadcaster in its original Blond finish, made in Fullerton, California.
The 1950 Fender Broadcaster is the first commercial electric guitar in the world — the one that started it all. It features a solid, lightweight ash body and a wonderfully shaped fretted maple neck with 21 frets and black dot position markers. Single “round” string tree. Original individual closed-shell “single” Kluson Deluxe tuners marked “PAT APPLD 2356766,” with oval metal buttons and slot-head screws. Taller dome knobs, and all screws on this guitar are slot-head screws — as they should be, including the truss rod. The headstock, with its original maple plug, is as clean as it gets, featuring the original, crisp Fender Broadcaster decal. Includes the original brass saddles on the bridge, which intonate perfectly.
This 1950 Fender Broadcaster is in overall very good+ condition, with nicks and dings, and shows signs of natural, honest playwear around the body and neck. No breaks or repairs!
The original Blond finish on this Broadcaster still looks beautiful and shows a touch of mojo, with no touch-ups or overspray. 100% original Blond finish! Both pickups are perfect and well-balanced. Overall, this 1950 Fender Broadcaster sounds incredibly good, with remarkable resonance and tone.
This historical Fender Broadcaster is 100% original throughout – just like it left the Fullerton factory back in 1950.
The pickups and electronics/wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints and no rewound pickups. All original and 100% correct.
The guitar comes complete with the original “Thermometer” case. Latches are in perfect working order, but the handle is missing.
