1950 FenderBroadcaster – Blond
We have a truly historic guitar for you here, as this incredible 1950 Fender Broadcaster in Blond comes to us from the collection of The Who bassist, John Entwhistle! This guitar is even photographed and featured in his book, “Bass Culture: The John Entwistle Collection” labeled on page 44 as his oldest guitar. Because this is a first-year example it features very early appointments, slot head screws throughout, and even a maple truss rod plug at the nut when the vast majority of Fender instruments received one in walnut! This neck was refretted, and also refinished to make sure it had many more years of music left! The refin job is pro and seems to have been done a long time ago, evidenced by its wear.
